white car project, the survivor Options

[targa72e]

I have started working on a car a purchased last year. Its low mileage and is cleaning up very nicely. I thought I would take some pictures as I work thru this project.

I did not need another car but a 73 came up for sale last year and when I went and looked at it and it was rust free so purchased it on the spot. When went to picked it up and drive home the next day I got the full story. Two owner car, documented 83K miles (Porsche dealer stamps in maintenance book) it had only been driven about 1K miles in the last 20 years. It has a issue where it will not stay in 4th gear and that apparently limited driving. Because of many oil leaks and the engine is very well marinated with oil and will need a full reseal. Fuel injection works great and the car is very original. Its too nice to cut up and do a -6 conversion so I will fix the tranny and reseal the engine drive it a little and probably sell it to fund other projects.
Pics before cleaning.








This is after washing and buffing. You can see quite a color difference.




When I pulled the rockers off all the screws, washers and spacers looked like they were factory and had not been touched.

the car looks very good on BAT.
lots of photos.

can i ask a favour of you if you have time to spare?
noticed the car has full glovebox package of manual and emissions warranty booklet.
we have been tracking some data on those emissions warranties either side of nov 73 in the 74 model year and were trying to get info from 73 and 75 owners.

would it be too much trouble to ask you to post an image of the page inside that emissions booklet that shows the diagram layout of the evaporative emissions system.
and a shot of the back page, its got some numbers and letters etc down the bottom usually of the back page.

good luck with the sale.
it should go well.
