Coastr Posted 22June, 2020 Report Share Posted 22June, 2020 Yikes! I’m all for spending someone else’s money here but can a car emerge from the parts pile ? I’m sure the talent is available but the time .... At least it will be a one owner car..as in this is a completely new car at this point.

P-Kay Posted 22June, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 22June, 2020 Thanks for all the 'kind' words To be fair, I did have the option of not going down this road and creating a hot-rod as realistically that is where the car was at. However, twofold: I was already balls deep in the longhood parts gathering journey and beyond the point of no return The hot-rod will be next and I want it to be a Targa that I personally will do I also felt this was the best approach given the options presented of how to proceed Cheers hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Kay Posted 26June, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 26June, 2020 Negatory my friend - That is another long hood project. 911 T to be precise and '71 as well if memory serves. You'll see my roof previous page next to the remainder of the car - That's weird saying it like that firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepo Posted 6July, 2020 Report Share Posted 6July, 2020 I think your running cars have the best colour out there P-Kay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepo Posted 7July, 2020 Report Share Posted 7July, 2020 Also, if it was originally light yellow, I'm all for bringing it back to it's original colour. I'll go out on a limb and say there were probably more yellow 911E's than there were black ones. We all hear about boring Porsches being black or silver, but I reckon black was an exclusive colour in that era, why compromise P-Kay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 7July, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 7July, 2020 Definitely agree! Not sure if it's like when you see one you see them everywhere, but it seems that Light Yellow was indeed a popular colour. Easy to spot in a car park at least I've gone this far, it has to be back to original colour.....and.........being that footy has started back up again...........Go Tiges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Kay Posted 16July, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 16July, 2020 It had a decent hit in the rear right - even bulged the parcel shelf from what appeared to be an imprint of the engine!! Here we have the back end being squared off. Looking good for an initial tack Man there is soooo much more work to go, but at least it is looking more and more like a complete car as the weeks progress. 🚗 Uncle, tomo, Niko and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 16July, 2020 Report Share Posted 16July, 2020 Talk about bringing back from the dead. There is no way you can reconcile that pic with what we saw before. Obviously who ever butchered it in the first place thought it was a good thing to do with a hit and rusty car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current work is focusing on ensuring the car is square and the panel gaps are just right before it is properly spot, plogged and stitch welded together. But it sure is getting closer that I am finding it hard to concentrate on anything other than Porsche. Guess I am not much different to everyone else on this forum...there's alot to love about the marque and the cars Skins, 81SC, Stepo and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
