Hi Spencer, you are really making progress! I'm working almost two years now on my second 912, 65/66 polo red coupé. I hope to drive it this summer, but you never know if Murphy is hiding somewhere.
Below some more or less random pics of the project. As you can see a lot of metal work has been done. I try to keep everything as original as possible and prefer to use lead in stead of epoxy filler. Nevertheless I replaced the single circuit braking system by the later double circuit - reservoir in the smugglers box as with the single circuit - and replced the door locks with the later safer type - a factory recommended modification at that time.
Floor pans where bad, so replaced them completely.
Left side had a lot of rust as a result of poorly repaired damage. The filler kept the metal together. Lucky it was not a targa ...
New metal finished with lead. Some sanding and the primer can be applied.
I know there is a stainless 911 produced - in the Stuttgart Porsche museum? I need to go there. It's just a few hours drive from here. This is ordinary steel waiting for the epoxy primer.
Interior cleaned, welded and primered.
New paint in the original polo red. It needs to harden completely before it can be polished.
The freshly painted dash with cleaned/tested instruments.
View on the new carpetting. I kept the original seats, which where in nice condition. Side panels got a new foam and vinyl finish.
On the floor the original rubber mats will create the period correct atmosphere. A Porsche wooden steering wheel will be the cherry on the cake.
A lot of patience needed the dash top to get the new vinyl perfect on the metal frame. Not to forget the many holes to be made for the loudspeaker.
Steering rack.
I hope this will give you an impression and some additional motivation to continue your fine work.
