Bought a 71 1.7 liter today.
 Car is in relatively good shape as far as I can tell. Likely some hell hole and rear portion of the back trunk rust repair needed, but appears to be minor. Time will tell. My current plans are to get the fuel system and FI sorted out (me). It cranks over, but doesn't start. Then go through the brakes from stem to stern (PMB). After that....drive it. The original color is light ivory, but has had a repaint in pearl white years ago. Will get the body work done and do a proper respray. I've already got a set of 15x6.5" Minilites to install. The suspension will get a good going over....likely Elephant Racing setup. Re-do the interior with a more supportive driver's seat. Refreshed gauges (Hollywood Speedo) in 356 fashion. Double wrapped RS steering wheel. GT lightwt door panels. Eventually, a bigger four will power the car. Would like to keep it all 4 cylinder for the time being. I've already got a 911 sitting in the garage that tics all the 911 boxes off. I'll keep a log of the progress here with pics. This is a big, big project.....no doubt. |

Man you are moving right along. Terrific work.
I may have to look up the hockey puck guy....really want one of those on my car. OK - I sent him a PM on the Bird and told him I want one and sent him my info. A moment of weakness.... OH BTW, really love the yellow foglight lenses. |

On a white car, they might be really nice. Depends on how much I will really use them...or not. The clear ones ought to work as driving/fog lamps where the yellow will be fog only. How much fog will I really be driving in? Like I said, it might be an annual change out for a different look each year. |
