Installed the tank. Tomorrow I will connect hoses, install fuel pump, fuel sending unit, etc.



Got the tires installed on the stock wheels. Will use this setup until the car is painted...then I will get tires for the 17" wheels.



Also received today the fuel injectors and o-rings:









and the shift ****...

A few more photos. Took a few hours to sort the parts and group them according to task... One box full of rubber seals, one full of the lights and covers, one with the heavy parts (bumper shocks, clamps, harness), one with interior bits (new steering wheel, shift ****, etc.), one with spare maintenance parts (oil filters, fuel filters, new set of original sparkplug wires, etc.), one with the RS carpet set, etc.

Old used parts (old engine mounts, tie-rods,etc.), or old/used maintenance items went in the trash...

Also, since it looks like I will go with the RS bumpers front/rear, stock bumpers, front valance, and other bits will go into storage until I have time to put them up for sale.







Air filter, cover and straps installed... still need to install all the CIS stuff... just wanted to get the air filter and cover out of the box and installed where it belongs.



A few engines shots (a few parts were powdercoated by the previous owner):





Painted rims on the H4 were hard to break apart... those will need to be repainted and the rest of the light housing cleaned.



Also, I did not remember seeing this on any 911... but sure enough, it is a factory part (911.512.019.02)... and it weights a ton! I will give it a good clean, some back-to-black treatment, fix a missing bolt insert and later decide if I want to install it back or what... I have a spare engine lid that Jimq gave me... I am thinking of getting all three lids painted to be able to later change the look as desired. No wing, Rubber wing, or RS wing.

I still have a 911 SC badge for the back from my 81 SC if you want it

racerbvd

Yep, that is the correct wing for an SC, but heavy as crap & a rust sponge..

Wachuko

The engine lid of you '81 will live on! Installing it on this car

Wachuko

Some elements that I want in this project:

1. Chrome mirrors

2. Center filled gas tank

3. Spartan interior. RS carpets (which came with the car)

4. Some old style Recaros or seats from vintageseats.com or from GTS Classics, or... The sport seats that came with the '81 car I will be using in the RSR

5. Silly stuff, but I want a clock with the Tag Heuer logo in it...

6. Some black leather combined with caramel/tan leather, and some stainless steel or aluminum pieces with holes in it...

7. I have a couple of rear engine lids, so thinking of having them painted all the same color so I can select from Duck Tail (this one I need to order), No tail, RS Tail...

8. Not sure if I will polish the trim pieces or paint them black...

9. Love the Jade Green Metallic, but not sure if it will look good with the lines of the 911...

10. Would love to do a long nose (backdate it to a '73 RS)... but the car came with the two RS bumpers... less expensive if I go with what I have.

I need to decide as I want to take the car asap to Alejandro for the body work and paint... I don't want this project to sit for 5 years like the '83 RSR transformation...

I love guys like you! Always at least 10 things going on at one time. Lots of fun to be around!

Wachuko

Thank you! But the problem is finishing all these projects!! I want this one to be done as quickly as possible... not after 5 years like the RSR...

That Jade Green 356 you posted is gorgeous but I love hot rods in the non metallics. I've always thought of Leaf green as having sort of a 'grayish' element to it. See below;

I'm glad you got it instead of me..

Wachuko

Anything you want to share???

Wachuko

Nate, I have been going back and forth on the color... not sure if the Jade Green Metallic would be the right color for this project... still looking for options on that end...

Maybe a non-metallic lead blue... or the non-metallic Slate-gray from the current GT3-RS.... hummm

Aquamarine Blue (non metallic) 356 era

Wachuko

I kind of organized the garage... to have a little more space to work on the new project. Need to do a few things before taking it to Alejandro to do the body work and paint.



Then got the car on the lift... car has new oil and fuel lines, new suspension bits, new engine and transmission mounts... once the car comes from the shop I will take out all the parts from the suspension and drive train for soda blasting and either paint or powder coat away...

Looks like I am now set on the color:
