Hello all!
I'm new here. After building up a 1966 Volvo 122 and a 1967 VW Beetle Deluxe, I've found a barn find 1969 Porsche 911T in Conda Green. It's been sitting outside since the early 2000s and hasn't been on the road since 1996. I'm starting this thread to document progress as I go. The plan is to keep it as original as possible and do a simple Outlaw-style build.
Found it sitting out in a yard like this with the tarp melted into the ground. On the hunt for rust.
Apparently, the original owner drilled these holes in the side for a CB radio. The first hole was at a bad angle so he redrilled. Painful to see. So painful.
The car is surprisingly straight. Only the rear bumpers and license plate area have a dent. That is removable so I'll be straightening that. Apparently, the current owner dropped something on the decklid a few years ago, hence the dig there.
The conda green paint is in really good shape. I rub it a bit with my finger and most of the oxidation comes off. There are a few spots on the car where you can see the primer coming through. I think I'll leave it original paint where I can. Outlaw style! You can see the little raccoon prints all over it if you look closely.
The interior is gone. The windshield was resting on the car but didn't have any rubber. Mice have ruined all the interior. I'll save what I can. Going to need to look more into the air con unit.
Not bad! I wonder how many mice will be in that air cleaner....
Not too much rust. Only looks like the front suspension pan so far. That's due to the hood missing for 20+ years of rain
I love the original rims. Here's to hoping I can save them in this state.
