Hello there, new to this forum, but not new to 911's. This will be my third, but my first 911 project. God knows how long it will take, probably about ten year or so and £30k! But i thought i would show some fellow enthusiasts what i am up to.
Here it is to start, 1980 SC with Carrera tail
Here after the body shop had sorted out the rust in all the usual places. Sun roof delete and prime.
This is where i bought into the project. The last owner had run out of time and his partner was expecting a baby soon, so either the car or her had to go. I'm going for a backdated look, as close to a Singer 911 as possible really.
Here are some of the panels just being mocked up. Dansk front wings, MShaw carbon long hood, boot and rear bumper. Original SC doors. Its a bit daunting knowing where to start, but seeing as im lacking a donnor car at the moment i thought i would get the panels i have to fit right. First job was to cut out the reflector strip at the back so that a 70's bumper could be accepted. Quite easy just drilled out the spot welds.
The next much bigger job is to cut back some of the metal work to allow the bumper supports to attach to the rear chassis legs. Not for the faint hearted. Am waiting on a right angle drill to get the rest of the spot welds out. Will keep you posted. If anyone knows of a proper scrapper tatty as possible old 911 sc, 3.2, 964 etc at half sensible money please let me know.
