Does anyone have a photo of how an unreplaced SC or 3.2 rear quarter panel is attached and glued. Both sections would be great (top and bottom of the side of the engine bay) 

Every car I've looked at has been quite different. I just thought that maybe they weren't all the same from Porsche as I've seen some really good ones while others were obvious. Then today I saw a car with under 80,000kms and both sides are identical so I'm guessing all the cars I looked at prior to this one would have had the panel replaced or a section done due to past accident history. 

That being said I saw an 84 model that looked a bit shonky, but both sides were identical at least.

Getting a few PMs so thought I’d let ya’ll know.

Cheers.

Big box of parts

A bit of elbow grease should fix this...

It's not like the alternator and fan are important anyway...

Special order banana shaped stud

Looks like the bottom of an old coffee pot...

Presto!

Stage 1 cleaning completed...

That doesn't look like loctite 574...

Thanks John

Thanks in advance!

Now before I Start let me start off by saying the car was purchased with no interior, motor or box. The plan was to be a budget build and building what I wanted not what you think it should be.  My previous car was a Mercedes E55 the last of the Supercharged V8s. I have always loved the sound and feel of a V8 and on the same note I have always loved the times less look of the 911 so I shopped around looking for a project as I never had plans of a doing a resto.

Behold my 76 911 that came with a 993 widebody. Some of you might remember the car floating around here and now I have ended up with up it.

So the plan is to give it a GT2/RSR look but run a turbo LS1. The transaxle is a custom built one for me from a company in Sydney.

This will be purely home built and on a budget. You are all welcome to offer ideas and help on anything you think me assist. I'm open to keeping this group build I'm just not interested in any of your purist opinions.

my car has great paint at the moment but I want amazing paint. 

‘What’s people’s experiences with glassuruit and ppg .

i have been told porsche reccom3nd glassuruit but it doesn’t wear well. A panel beater told me he doesn’t like using it as the clear is no good and that it chips easily on front of car.

he suggested ppg and flow coat for deep look. By the way my car is black

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

i remember reading somewhere that this was a difficult modification to make and I haven’t come across it (not that I have a lot of experience with 911’s)

Is this a good thing or is it a recipe for disaster ?

well the 930 outlaw is completely stripped and getting rust repairs at the moment... then prepped for paint. 

So I need a Bolt in half cage. where and who? do people pre make them? 

Thoughts... not fussed about cost... just want the best made/ looking cage. 

thanks crew! 

Long time reader and I finally have a question. We are in the final stages of getting my Dad's 78 SC back on the road (one owner, he purchased it in '77 and drove me home from the hospital in it when I was born!) and the last hurdle is the sporto. Seems like we are not quite getting enough vacuum to throw the clutch. Is anyone here running an electric vacuum pump to power the sportomatic? What were the challenges, how did it turn out, what pump did you use? The focus at the moment is to get the car back on the road, rather than making it super original.

Thanks for any help.

Dear all,

I owned a 911 Carrera Targa (1989) which he plans to used for Track Days during this year race season. Nothing fancy for winning achievement, he just want to have fun and improve my driving skills.

I need a spare used Engine and a Manual Trans just incase something goes wrong in  with the car, does anyone  have info for this spare engine ??  It doesn’t have to be a rebuilt, but just a good working order engine.

Here are some info regarding the vehicle :

Chassis Number : WPOZZ91ZKS141018

Engine Number  : M93020

 Please email to : iwan.aria.jakarta@gmail.com for any information and location in Australia.

Looking forward to hear some good news.

Looking for some advice and help on rebuilding the engine of my 1983 cab ROW. I have been reading a lot of threads on rebuilds and started getting the parts list together and buying bits and pieces as time has gone by. Unfortunately i don't know any other 911 owner that i can ask so that's why I'm asking here. I live in Cranbourne and i don't often see any old 911 (unless it is stolen). 

I have always wanted a 911 since i was young but have the budget of Hyundai and a few years ago God has given me the opportunity to buy one and love it. I drive it everyday and do all of the minor servicing myself. However about a year ago the engine started with a ticking noise on the right hand side. the noise starts after 45 minutes of driving. I got the valve clearance checked twice and it got better but the noise is still there. So after asking around i decided to pull the pin and plan a rebuild. Bought some books and started buying some parts.

The parts i have so far:

Set of all gaskets for the engine and bit and pieces such as filters, pumps and so on

LN Engineering Porsche 911 3.0 98mm Nickies Cylinders CP Max Moritz 9.8 Pistons

3.0 cams regrind to 964 cams

Supertec head bolts

So the question is: Is there anything else i should buy before i engage a mechanic to rebuild the engine?

Looks like it hasnt been moved in years .... anyone seen this car before ???

I'm after the better looking h4 units. ( I some LHD units in mind. ) Then put RHD lenses in them and that will work in Australia. 

Thanks Lyndon

I'm planning to get insurance through Shannons, but I was looking for advice about valuing my car. When I look on carsales.com.au it's a little difficult to get a sense of what the market price for my car would be. For one thing, they don't let me limit my model year search to anything narrower than 1980-1990, and then the late 1980s years seem to vary widely in asking price. Today I saw a LHD 1988 for $80k, and a RHD UK-delivered one for $120k. Seemingly similar condition and mileage (or what do you say, 'kay-age?'), but I didn't think the LHD vs RHD would account for $40k in price difference. Would anyone like to hazard a guess at the value for my car? Details:

1988 911 coupe, all original. Excellent condition. 215k kms. Left-hand drive.

Thanks in advance for any advice you have.

Also looking for a 3 litre ROW distributor

Can anybody assist

I have been replacing the gaskets and spacers on my 3.2 engine. I Torqued them to the recommended 18flb, let it settle then re-torqued.

All was going well till I re-torqued the last nut, the front most right hand nut.....snap...the lug broke off!!! see pics.

Yes I swore....but now I am in the process of organizing a fix.

Has anyone seen this before?? Any suggestions for a fix, or maybe some good soul may have a spare laying around that I could have ;-)

All comments are appreciated.

BTW I live in Brisbane!

Rang few places, ranged from "I got no idea what you are talking about because targas only started in 2002 according to my system"!!!!! to "yeah mate huge job, at least $600"

Anyone has used someone they can recommend?

Cheers
