I have these two tins for the rear, why are they different? (holes and notch)
Are the differences year related or something else?  |

I think there are at least 3 different versions of this tin piece.
Can you post a good complete photo of each of yours to compare them? I have one I will add if its different than yours. |

What did Porsche decide to add or change to things poking through the rear tin? That's what I am wondering... The dirty tin pictured was in the car I bought "Ruby" ('73 2.0) from @fiacra The other with less holes from my rusted yellow '72 2.0 (profile pic) |

QUOTE(cassmcentee @ Nov 2 2024, 05:31 AM) The other with less holes from my rusted yellow '72 2.0 (profile pic) Confusing note, there were no 2.0s in 1972. So is it a 1972 car with a transplanted 2.0 or the original 1.7 modified to a 2.0? After looking into this more, I am inclined to think it is the latter. given the rear tin configuration in your photo. Can you confirm? |
