This will be my first restoration, I hope I haven't bitten of more than I can chew. This is a 1969 911e with MFI. The car has been sitting for many years.




When it was stored several years ago, the engine was running. But previous mechanic said that it was missing on one cylinder. My plan of action will be to try to get the engine at least running. I am going to buy two fresh new batteries, does anybody have any advice on what to check before trying to turn it over.

When I have the engine running I will probably go with battery and front suspension pan replacement (I found a good tutorial from this site). Then on to front half floor pan.



Hopefully by then I will be proficient enough with the mig welder to tackle the sheet metal work on body. I have a front bumper, so I wont have to repair that. But I think that hood may be tough, there is also a picture of the channel for the hood rubber. Has anyone had any experience with that?





I have done engine mechanics with the help of a manual before, anybody suggest any good ones? I did a little welding some years back and can usually do most things I put my mind to. I would however appreciate any advice that anyone can give and I will try to post some updates along the way.
