'72 911 S Coupé restoration project
Hi guys,
I finally got it home from the previous owner a few days ago. It's a sad sad car, but it is a '72 S Coupé, and it is mine!  It actually came out of a barn, but I can't call it a "barn find" since it was advertized. The previous got other priorities, the same old story.  It's 935 converted, with fiberglass front fenders, and the rear is actually made in steel, even the Testarossa air intakes. The front is so ugly I have to hide it behind the trash dumpster....  I can see the original green metallic on a number of locations, even though it seems to be pretty well built (destroyed?) in the mid 80-ies.  It's rusty too, not that bad, has some rust in rockers and some in the front of the floor. The 2,4 S Engine is gone, probably removed late 70-ies or early 80-ies in Germany, so now I have to start scanning the market for a 911/53. I have a '72 2,4 E Engine that will do for now. It has a running '76 2,7S now, which will be excellent in another project I have. The interior is missing most of the early stuff, and looks ok considering. The most annoying part is that the roof is changed, since the car was delivered with a sunroof.  This thread won't be updated daily, maybe not monthly either, since this car is a 5 year project. I just thought I should contribute back to the message board for all the help I have gotten! I have decided not to start breaking it apart until my other project (-s) are finished, and I have collected all the body parts. I know, it's a crazy project, but you CA guys are so spoiled  when it comes to restoration. Your restoration projects don't even have rust!Thanks, Johan

Congratulations Johan
I had communicated with the previous owner about it. There is some 2.4S engines for sale in Europe. Best Manu |

Jepp, I know at least one, but they are pricey.
Where are you located? Johan
