About a month ago I discovered a disassembled but complete 1970 911T in San Francisco that has been in storage since 1992. I'm new here and posted about it
HERE.
I had to use a forklift to get it out of the building.

I contacted Porsche North America and requested a COA. Thankfully, I've had a little back and forth with them and this is what I've found out so far. Again this is just some of the info from the COA according to Porsche North America.

Honestly, I wasn't looking for project as I already have a couple going but this was just too good to pass up. So I bought the 911 and put it in the loft at my shop with the intention of storing it until I can complete some other projects first. Well that lasted about a month. This afternoon I pulled the 911 down from the loft and and started on it.
First, I pressure washed it and then started bagging and tagging.
I removed the front and rear seats, all the trim, steering wheel, shifter, windshield, rear side glass, rear glass, headliner, dash pad, interior panels, engine insulation, carpet and carpet padding, and sound deadening. I'm looking forward to getting the COA to see what else is on it especially because of what I found.
I found an air conditioning receiver/dryer in the right front wheel well and an evaporator unit attached to a fan assembly in the trunk. Is this factory AC? If so, everything under the dash is gone. Are the missing parts available?
Are these "S" gauges?
I found a GIANT hole on each side that was covered in cardboard and duct tape. Any idea what went there or why someone would do this???
I found some rust..
I'm still not exactly sure what I'm going to do with the car but because of the rust and the holes I found I'm going to strip the entire car down to metal (soda blasting or chemical dipping). Top to bottom, inside and out. That way I can see the real condition of the unibody structure and determine if any thing needs to be repaired.
I have taken hundreds of pictures, mostly for reference. You can see them here:
