Default Its Official, I'm back in the p-car game.
Made a deal for a (mostly) stripped out 1971E Targa (what you don't see is the glass and doors that are included). Thats a total of 8 days without a 911. I'm never doing that again!

I do have to point out that the car will not be running but I plan on making a very happy car with a bigger than stock motor. First step is to replace out the suspension pan. After which any remaining rust spots will be replaced. I've already ordered the welder and will look at picking up a compressor Thursday night.


One photo for yous guys......

I'm thinking that it might look good in Vesuvio Gray Metallic.

MORE PIX!!!!!!! I had a 73. I dont know what you have ever done. But you will be shocked how easy that car is going to go back together. Simple simple simple design.. Simple smart.

Damn I wish you lived closer so i could work on it with you.

Looks like a good start. I'm nearly finished with my 914 Limited Edition, took me 2 years from getting the car to where I'm now and I think in another month the car is on the road. What engine do you plan?
