Okay.
My car is going to arrive back from paint on Wednesday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Doors and trunk lids on and basically nothing else (no seals) (roller). Assuming that I will replace all of the calipers and shocks/struts, can someone tell me what to put on first, second etc. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Yes, I'm going to beg for help eventually and provide seared mammal flesh and beverages to all those willing to help, but I'm sure there's little stuff I can do so we have maximum effective wrench time and more relaxed flesh consumption time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Thanks! Sean |

I have not taken mine that far, but I wonder if it is advisable to install doors, trunks, etc... WITHOUT seals. Seems like you run the risk of chipping the pretty paint.

You can look at my thread. I basically posted as each step was complete. Although if you get to the part where you're installing the engine, you will have passed me.
Do fuel lines, suspension and brake system first. |

Do you need to have a blue car to post to this thread? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Blue car. It seems amazing that we completely disassemble and reassemble these cars. Not that I have done it, but I've taken a lot of stuff out and put it back in. I'll keep an eye on your reassembly progress and be, as usual regarding these restoration threads, just a bit envious.

Sean, what color are did you go with? Did you stick with the Olympic Blue??? No, I went with an available version of 1973 Porsche 911 Lime green. I'll take a photo of the painted roller when I get it home tonight. It's not a "perfect" paint job; it is a 3K driver job which means there are probably a few minor ripples. .BUT they properly fixed much and eliminated the warts!!! |

Doesn't matter. Just do wire before fuel tank and hvac Right on. So here's the list in order? Wiring Fuel lines Brake lines and calipers shocks/struts body seals Lights etc HVAC (missing parts here, so I may be asking lots of questions at that point) Fuel tank Drivetrain dash/interior Windshield Sooo. . when does the back window go in? What am I not covering here? |

In the real world you might be installing the parts you have in hand because you're waiting for the parts you want to arrive/come back from the plater

Here's the body back from paint. Not a show paint, but decent for the price. . I'm pretty happy.

It's amazing how a fresh coat of paint can change your whole attitude about a car.
Looking good man. Have fun with the rebuild. |

Nice. It's going to look great once it's trimmed out! What colour is your interior?
