    Reviving a '75 911s

    A little while ago I bought my first 911- a '75 911s- and tucked it away until i had time/money to actually start on it. Kind of a dream to get it, although it certainly needs some love as it's been sitting for a good while.


    Im going to try to keep a build thread going in here of progress as i chip away at it, its probably the biggest build i've done to date on a car, at least all at once.

    The only photo i have of it on hand of when i got it, kind of crusty.



    So i starting bring the paint back to see if there is any life left and it's decent. Moved it to the new place:



    Success!



    Starting the dissasembly. First order of business, dropping the front suspension and replacing the front pan:



    Paint is coming back nicely, but on hold till more gets done on the car. Dont want to be working around perfect paint. ;)

    More teardown:




    And the battery tray & front pancancer:


    New sheetmetal from Restoration Designs is on it's way, and will be the first big step for this car.

    Front suspension assembly out:



    Getting the hang of cutting spot welds and removing panels:

    Finally, the pan is out. Got to clean up and prep the area before the new pan goes in. Also pulled the rocker panels, and to my relief doesn't appear to be much rust.

                            Porsches are catching my eye a lot more recently.

                            Finish one project before the next...
