Hi guys,
I just picked up a project car for my son (Andrew, 15) and I to work on together.
Here's the details-
1. 1976 911S, with a steel widebody kit. pretty decent shape.
2. 2.7 engine (7R case), partially disassembled, all the studs are there, but one, and the the threads in the case look nice. It appears to have an insert in it, but I'm not familiar with these engines. The story is, the engine lost oil pressure. So far, I haven't seen any damage in the heads, and the next step is to pull a con rod off and check the crank. The case is still together, with a couple cylinders removed.
3. It has S brakes, rebuilt, aluminum 4 piston jobs, with ventilated and drilled rotors.
4. the interior is nice, but I need a tach, and a speedo, and a windshield.
5. There is no exhaust.
6. The wheels are true 3 piece rims, CSI brand? with 245 rears and 195 fronts, 16"
7. As mentioned in another thread, the transmission is apparently from a 78 SC, but I don't know if it was ever installed in this car. So I don't know if the shifter will fit, plus I'm missing the axles and CV joints. Does any of this sound familiar? I'm sure I'm not the only guy to buy a car in kit form. Good thing I already have grey hair,eh?
It should be an adventure, so stand by for endless questions, parts requests, and progress reports. Luckily I have my 86 911 for comparison purposes. A lot of the parts are in boxes, so it's like Christmas, except I don't know where some of the bits go!
