One thing about getting the beast here and spending some time with her, one can spend a lot more time just looking. And getting rust in my eyes,, sigh
At this point, I will go after the bright and shiny bits, ie lamps, indicators etc. first, then remove the engine, then on to the interior. I need to get this puppy to roller by end April / May for Jim to do the chassis work over next summer. So we'll start with this basic premise and see how it works out.
Thing is, most of the parts are all original. Since I have had her (68) the engine hasn't been out and she has sat in Mums garage since 72.
Under the dash is very good and I would like to preserve as much as possible. We are resigned to the chassis work. The engine will be done by Weissach Porsche in Vancouver (known them since 98) and me as much as possible.
I mean, how hard can this be?
Some observations.
The right front has a different headlight bucket than the left. Brett's book suggests that the LF is the original although both Hella are same number. There are some pics below.
Some sand blasting is in the future I think. Jim from Original Restorations is due next week for discussions on moving forward late next spring.
Second prang looks light on L rear. tailights are correct but looks like the bumper has been moved a bit. All other bits around the rear are ok though. Have removed RRtaillight and lic light. Notes and schematics in notebook. scan.
Some things we do know:
wheels:
2 from 2/60, mod 1585
1 /60
2/58 (a bit of speedster?) but the factory stockpiled them. note on rim: 'Commerz'
