P-Kay Posted 25August, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 25August, 2020 Left side all buttoned up and I can't see the roof going anywhere soon......I would call that good penetration The funky cross welded is where it was 'relieved' to fit the 959 goodness Once the hole up top is filled in, then it will be real close to being removed from the bench.

luzzo Posted 7September, 2020 Report Share Posted 7September, 2020 Hey @P-Kay, does a non-sunroof car have any different roof support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 7September, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 7September, 2020 Howdy @luzzo Not that I am aware. My research shows an open skin with the skeleton around the perimiter only. Katalog also only shows left and right #6 along woth the windscreen brace #7 luzzo and firstone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 9September, 2020 Report Share Posted 9September, 2020 Do you know if the car was originally no-sunroof ? Or is that lost to the mists of time and porsche records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 9September, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 9September, 2020 I know the complete story of how this car came from the factory. Even down to the engine number Oh and yes, it is a no sunroof car - Once complete, it will be 'the same' as when it left the factory with the obvious exception of which door you open to steer it...and I am adding a passenger mirror for asthetics and ....no just for the looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they using the same mollecularly correct metal for the roof fill? No? Well its not the same then is it? 😉 P-Kay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What years should have the filler cap release there? Is it in a different position for other years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 10September, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 10September, 2020 It's a one year only thing being 72. The American's used it to fill petrol, hence Porsche discontinued the idea luzzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 10September, 2020 Report Share Posted 10September, 2020 This means every post 72 car has the dimple, the 72 cars have the release, and 71 and earlier are flat. Because once they put the dimple in for 72 they left it there unused , except for the 959 which got the 72 door again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
