Re: looking for production data for RHD cars

Hi Ian.....I have 1972 RHD 911E in Aubergine but I think my Porsche COA refers to the Selling Porsche Centre as Malaya Garage (I assume this is the garage that used to operate in Billingshurst). Do you know what the score is here.....i.e would mine be in addition to the figures quoted above? Thanks...

Re: '72 911T Restoration

Yes.....I am very lucky to have Barry working on this project and am chuffed to bits with the quality of his work and attention to detail. The latest batch of photos take us up to about the beginning of February this year and I am looking forward to the latest instalment from Mr Carter which I will ...

Re: '72 911T Restoration

Onto the next layer.....according to Barry this was pretty tricky to get right as a reverse curve is required for the heater tube to lie in. In addition, the reverse curve has to change to a regular flange at the base, and everthing has to line up, there's a lot going on. http://imageshack.us/a/img8...

Re: '72 911T Restoration

Quite a bit to go yet Darren so I don't think I will be driving it this year let alone this weekend!!!! Next it was on to the floor edge. As the original floor had been left in place in one area as a reference, Barry could weld on a little tab, just to locate the new floor flange in the same positio...

Re: '72 911T Restoration

The next stage was to repair the nasty flange at the top of the RH inner wing. A length of inner wing flange some 3ft+ was fabricated and welded in, plus a small area over the battery box. http://imageshack.us/a/img829/313/s24te188.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img534/5738/s24te189.jpg http://imageshac...

Re: '72 911T Restoration

Yep....the rear seat pan / parcel shelf section did come from a donor car. The next jobs that Barry tackled after this were some floor and front bulkhead repairs. The buckled floor was straighten out and after that the two holes on the RH side floor were sorted. http://imageshack.us/a/img22/4181/s24...

Re: '72 911T Restoration

With a surprising amount of work, the replacement bulkhead was ready for installing. Areas included: both bases to the kick panel, turn up and braze in new earthing point, incuding correct brass earthing washer. Fabricate new N/S corner of parcelshelf, repair lots of the side flanges, weld on new wi...
