Good morning troops,

My name is Rick and I'm located in Southern Ontario, Canada. This is 1970 911 that I know nothing about but will be starting the restoration :)

It had spent the last 34 years in a barn with serious engine issues. Not sure of the extent but we'll strip it down and figure it out.

And a box load of stuff,

This should be a fun project!



cheers

Nice color. Have fun. I also have a 70T.Any clue as to why it's apart. Welcome to the club and forum.

Nice find!

Good score.

I'm liking the car already :)

It's been in a barn for the last 34 years due to an engine problem. I'm not sure if this was the replacement or rebuilt engine or the bad one lol.



cheers

Good luck with your project.

Well we got the car pretty much stripped and started on the structural welding. ALL of the rust issues in this car were due to mice nesting in the cavities.

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...psn0n2eq0d.jpg

Some rust under the left torsion bar mount,

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...psymzgjg9i.jpg

Some surface rust on the floor pans but overall it's real solid,

Another spot was right behind the left front tire,

Luggage compartment had some surface rust as well, but it cleaned up real nice,

Started our day with a little cook out lol. Burning the rear bushings from the arms ;)

More stuff added to the front compartment,

All the suspension parts were sand blasted and epoxied, going to install all new bushings,

That is very nice indeed.

I used to live in South Ontario. At least I told people I lived in South Canada... It was actually Watertown, NY

Nice. You don't see many Pastel Blue 911's. And nice work, BTW.

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.

That would be awesome, thanks!



cheers

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.

Awesome thanks! PM sent

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.

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.

https://i140.photobucket.com/albums/...psgxccvsml.jpg

Now the pistons and cylinders going back in,

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...psd593c6cv.jpg

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

cheers

Is this the world's fastest restoration?

Well it's been over a year lol!



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...

Thanks,

We are located in Napanee, Ontario Canada.



cheers

Got some more details done,

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

And we fixed the cracks in the dash pad,

https://i140.photobucket.com/albums/...psmr9xglim.jpg



cheers

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

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


cheers

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

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.

Awesome thanks, yes it has a gauge so I will order the sending unit for it.


Thanks!
