Question:

How Many Tools Does It Take To Strip Down Your 911 to get it ready for sand blasting?

Answer:

All of your Craftsman tools and all of your Snap-ONs too. You might as well throw in your great grandpa's hammer, I did.

These pics are of the aftermath... post tool cleaning and 1972 911T ready for the cleaning.

You're not going to sand blast that whole thing, are you?!? There are other ways to strip it that won't damage and warp the body.

How is the list different for putting it back together?

To put it back together you need a torque wrench and hopefully fewer hammers.

Actually it is getting dipped, and then only the rusty parts will be sand blasted. No outside panels will be blasted.

And bearing pullers
And a gallon of Kroil
And... lots of other little items.

I admire the fact that you are completely stripping it down. I would be afraid of all those electrical thingies that all look the same and where do they go back :eek:

don't see any of the Porsche specific tools there. Gonna need to buy what you don't have. Multi cases of beer project. About a billion rags and equal number of gloves.

Should keep you busy for awhile.

If you don't want to put it back together, you need only one tool: a cutting torch.

Two to put it back together - a pen and a checkbook

stuff i used
 

torch
wax for bolts that are stuck
magnets
retriever
lift
car dollies to move it round the garage
engine tools:
cam shaft claw foot and cam holder
engine stand good one
engine case yoke for stand porsche one.
3/4" socket set.
using an electric milwaukee 3/8" rachet which is nice
fishing line to slip under the chrome on a window seal and slowly remove it.
a small press
a good vice
wheel bearing tool kit from harbor freight.
super good set of snap ring pliers.. not the cheap ones for various items like the clutch throw out bearing.

i did not see the big wrenches for removing oil lines

Awesome. Pretty good idea and interesting to see all the tools needed to strip it down. If anyone is looking to do theirs and are missing a few tools from their garage be sure to scope out our catalog below. Thanks for sharing!

How many tools? Way too many to list. I have collected them over the last 20 years working on Porsche.
