Follow Along! My 1979 911sc Build Adventure

[AcidGypsy]

Hello Pelican Parts Community,
My name is Steve, and I’m excited to finally join the forum’s conversation after spending the past four years studying the wealth of knowledge shared here and building my plan to execute. About a year ago, I started on my resto-mod build of a 1979 Porsche 911, which I originally purchased as a roller. This isn’t my first rodeo—I previously completed a resto-mod of a 1968 Corvette—but this is my first time diving into the world of Porsche, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. For many like me, the Porsche 911 just exudes cool!
I’ve learned so much from the members of this forum already, and I want to thank you all for your contributions over the years. I could not complete this build without all of the knowledge and sharing found here. My goal is to document my build in detail so that others may benefit from it in the future, just as I’ve benefited from those who came before me. While the first pictures I’m sharing don’t reflect how far along I actually am currently, I welcome any advice, thoughts, or encouragement as I continue this journey. No worries. I will get you caught up in no-time! So please join me—not just to watch the progress, but to share in the passion of creating my version of my dream Porsche 911.

Here's the car at delivery and my helpers (my Son and 'Bubs' the English Bulldog).

It knowingly had the usual battery boil over/rot and I knew that the front pan was going to need some love...

Integrated LSx Engine with T56 close ratio transmission.
Power windows, Locks, Keyless entry, pushbutton start, forward and reverse cameras, AC.
Widened 8" in the rear, running 335/35/18's. I did all the work on it myself over 3 1/2 years. Just had someone else spray the paint and build the sidemount exhaust.








Here is the link to the build thread, but many photos are missing due to the use of Photobucket.... Well, it was 2014!

Like other's I built the rotisserie using another thread in the forums. I was able to get a steal from FB marketplace of $1 per foot. I bought extra!

I knew the car had the 'typical' battery boil over issue eating away at the front end....
