1977 911S backdate project - Brisbane Australia

[superfoamy]

Hi to all, g'day and buon giorno.

So, here i go...my story is a not perhaps too unique, as this website is full of backdate projects. However this one has a bit of an international twist.

Some 3 years ago, I purchased a 1977 911S in Brisbane, recently imported from Japan. At the time I was living in Rome Italy, the car was placed in storage, being taken out occasionally to turn the engine over and wash it down.

In my absence from Australia, I travelled all over Northern Italy (and Sardegna) to find parts for my backdate project. Now, back in Brisbane, I hope to bring together all the components to make a backdate tribute 911 (focusing on the year of 1973), a trackday/racecar - lightened, wider, more ridgid, more pure, etc...

so, here are a few pictures to start. Please bear with me, the wings/bumpers and wheels haven't left italy yet, and there are many things to do, but with some determination all will be right. thanks to all who post pictures and give ideas in these forums, its a weath of information.

Now, a few photos (taken last week in Brisbane)
