Slowly, but surely
My '70 911T is finally nearing completion. A few more details and it'll be the weekend toy I've wanted for a long time. Just a picture or two for now, but I have more pictures and details to share. It's been a trying, often expensive, sometimes frustrating, but always fun project.
Incidentally, with very few exceptions, (seats, muffler, shifter, steering wheel, etc.) every part has a Porsche number on it incl. steel RS flares, steel S front bumper, steel RS Touring rear bumpers. Completely rebuilt to new specs3.0 liter mildly modified (230 HP), GT3 oil pump, 40IDA Webers, Webcams, SSIs, headwork, rebuilt to new specs. Rebuilt 915 & 8/31 diff, J. West Rennshift w/ Stromsky coupler. '89 Carrera suspension components, incl. Alum X-member, Turbo tie-rods, C2 4-piston Brembos w/ Zimmerman rotors, "green" Bilsteins, Smart Racing 20mm F&R anti-roll bars, Alum. rear trailing arms, Elephant suspension components, 7" Front & 8" Rear Fuchs (by Weidman, of course). Recaros by Tony Garcia @ Autobahn Interiors, RS style interior,....... and much much more. Currently breaking in powertrain and sorting the mechanicals.

Oh my gosh...that is way beyond beautiful!! Please post more pics...lots more...I'm so impressed with some of the details I see.
Also would like to know about the fuel line "manifold". Is a pressure regulator incorporated, and is that the back side of a gauge I see?

John-
I saw your car at the Parts Heaven swap meet and it is simply amazing. Pictures do not do this car justice. Great work! I too am interested in the details on the fuel rail/fuel block. I've been wondering about it since I saw the car. |

What a beauty! Perfect color!
I canīt imagine how much money you have put into it, but must be worth every penny.

Is that a TOY? It seems more like a work of art that any Pelican would be envious of, at least I know I am. I'll trade you my 911 and my wife's Jeep...seems fair to me.
