I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to post up an intro and start a thread for documenting progress.
My dad bought this 1977 911S back in 1999. Since then he has done a lot of work to it and has always told me that he'd pass it on to me one day. Over the years we have worked on it together, gone for drives, a few trips to John Walker's Swap meet and as most of you can relate to; this has become more than just a car. I have a lot of great memories growing up and working on this with my dad and he recently finally agreed to sell it to me.
My dad now lives in Walla Walla, WA and I live in Houston. Here are a few of it on after being loaded up onto the trailer to have to shipped down. I used Uship.com to find a shipper.
During the 14 years of ownership by my father the following has been done:
Rebuilt Engine:
2.8L JE 9.5:1 pistons and nickel cylinders
E cams
40 IDA Weber carburetors
PMO racing tall intake manifolds
Ported heads to 37mm on intake
Back dated exhaust manifolds with stainless stell dual in/out muffler
MSD 6 AL ignition with mega core plug wires
New alternator
Rebuilt transmission at time of engine build
Suspension:
Elephant Racing street track 1 suspension package
Tarett front and rear sway bars with drop links
RSR front struts
Bilstein rear socks
Poly Bronze bearings
Sway aways with 28mm hollow torsion bar
Interior:
Stripped interior
Corbeau racing buckets
Autopower roll bar
New headliner
Renegade pedals and aluminum foor rests
RSR door cards
Before I bought the 911 I was into watercooled VW's, mostly mk2's. I've had several and have done a few complete rebuilds, motor swaps, suspension work, a little paint work etc. so while I bought this car "built" I definitely know how to use a wrench and have a few more things planned for it.
Here are a few of my old 1989 Jetta GLI with a VR6 swap
And 1991 Golf with a G60 swap
