Congrats. I have also been ghosting a while and just joined yesterday - and I have a 77 911S too. A targa that was stored since 1989 that I am restoring. Body and interior are in fantastic shape and unmodified. Engine needs a rebuild. Paperwork going back to 1981.

Best of luck with it. Get that 5 bladed fan out of your car asap.

Antny930

Very cool! Looks real clean too. Interesting body kit on it. Are those rear fender nostrils air ducts?

Good luck with your restoration
Why get rid of the 5 blade fan?

Yes there air ducts, how functional they really will be not sure when the previous owner had the car stripped and painted he threw on the kit.

Well I am surely no expert and I am sure more knowledgeable folks will chime in to correct me but as I understand it the situation with the 77 engines that caused so much trouble years down the road was that in order to meet emissions regulations Porsche decided to just make the engines run hotter as the hotter they ran the more exhaust gasses were burned. This exacerbated uneven heating problems between the magnesium block and the aluminum heads and contributed to the pulled studs problem. One of the ways they made the car run hotter was to remove the 11 bladed fan used on all the other years and use a 5 bladed one.

Interesting will definitely look more into it.
Thanks
