Thanks guys!

Having a hard time sourcing some parts. Like the throttle cross shaft ball stud that bolts to the right side carb, and a double groove pulley for the A/C.

Any help would be appreciated!



cheers

I might have the throttle shaft mount. I'll check this weekend.

Great build! I think I have the pulley plus I am in Ontario so their is no cross-border duty. I will check this week. I also have a set of SSI heat exchangers and other parts for sale if you are interested. Send me a message with your contact info.

I really enjoyed the write-up and the pictures. Keep up the good work! It is inspirational to me as another early targa owner.

Well we got the cases split on the 2.2. Turns out we had 2 pistons seized in their bores preventing the crank to turn, but the oil pump was also seized up with gunk that we had to cut the oil pump drive shaft to be able to turn the crank for piston removal.









Severed oil pump driveshaft,



Crank bearings are in fantastic shape and the crank looks great so we got lucky there.





Boxes of stuff,



Oil pump,







Fun stuff!



cheers

Well we got the body work all done and a shiny coat of blue!











Now we just need to finish putting the body panels on and give her a nice wet sand and polish!


cheers

Well we got the engine cases back from the machine shop. They installed new oil squirters, removed the oil passage plugs and cleaned out the entire cases and machined new plugs. They also repaired the one oil passage hole that was corroded straight through.



Now the pistons and cylinders going back in,



Always check new parts, when we pulled the pistons out of the jugs ALL the ring gaps were in a straight line lol.







Even got some paint on the covers,




cheers

I agree. There has been a tremendous amount of work done in that short period. Very encouraging.

Sauceman, where is your shop located? Nice work!

re welding

- the car can be considerably stiffened if extra welds are added - also Dave at TRE knows how to weld in some extra metal to really stiffen the car; may work for a targa - I'm not sure

enjoy the wonderful road racing pattern shifter...

Got some more details done,

Took apart the gauges and detailed them, the outside bezels were corroded so now they are GTG!

Yes even the clock works lol!

Cleaned up the pedals,



Shifter plate,



And the park brake assembly,



And we fixed the cracks in the dash pad,





cheers

[RWebb]

what filler did you use to fix the cracks in the dash pad?

[Sauceman]

A company called FibreNew in Belleville came over and fixed it. Not sure what product they used.


cheers

[Sauceman]

Well we got most of the engine back together, no issues















And we got the first cut of polish done on the paint





cheers

[Sauceman]

Well after a long time to get parts shipped we are back at the 911!

Getting a lot of fidly bits done like shifter and throttle rods in place before the engine goes back in.



Looking through the parts manual I'm having trouble finding out which fittings I need.

There are the ones for the two small oil lines here,




And what goes into this hole here beside the oil thermostat,





Thanks again for helping out this Porsche newb!



cheers

That is for the oil pressure sender. That is assuming you have the gauge for oil pressure , as some cars just had a warning light.
