And here it waits...... Placed the Webers on.


If anyone needs some Zeniths from a 911T ,I’ll be posting them soon on
here as well as Pelican.


Hi mate,love the engine tucked away in the corner crying 'bolt me in' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) I found having a built engine inspired to get on with the job,hope it works that way for you.
Wow that's a nice engine I notice an early cast iron dizzy too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) ,these work really well with carbs I have read.
Best of luck and keep knocking away @ that bloody rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Thanks Dean. Yes the clean motor does inspire, as
well as Dave’s completed beauty! I purchased the engine in 2015. I guess before all the 911 speculation took off.
Cheers mate!

Happy Easter from the guy working on this project.
I worked on the front lower left fender today. What a treat this was.
Made some cardboard templates and then cut my shapes.
Bending the one piece was tricky as I don’t have the proper tools for this so
some pipe of different diameters and a vice helped me shape the curve.

Inside door jamb welded piece. None of my tools for grinding or sanding would fit in this area. So had to rely on primer and sealer to button up. Not the best but weather proofed.

Here’s 914Daves:

No, aluminum cases have been pricey for awhile. You just bought well. I sold one for $12K last year and that was a core short block. It would be hard to find a good running engine for less than $20K these days.

nice work Dion. Keep at it.
Take it from my mistake and make sure your door gaps are still good before you get all that painted. I had to backtrack after having my whole car painted and cut out some extra metal in that spot as it squeezed my door gap down.

I should be installing your old 2056 by end of summer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

That’s good news Joseph! Sorry to hear of the mishap with the doors. Especially after
the paint! Thanks for the reminder.

Send some pics would love to see it.

Ok gentlemen need advice. So my flares were welded on, not in the ideal way.
They used an overlap weld instead of butt welds. Removing and starting over is not on the table. Although that’s the ultimate answer. I’d like to prevent further rust. I have some surface rust below the thinly applied undercoating. I wire wheeled off the undercoating. I was thinking of using an acid etch and spraying it in all the seams then
use a rust “encapsulate” type spray and then prime/paint then undercoat.
Any other “ chemical suggestions for getting in those overlapping seams?
Thanks guys.

So had a suggestion to use the Eastwood Internal Frame coating.
I had that on hand. This stuff creeps into crevices so it made sense.
After washing it down with the “ Fast Etch” and cleanup with pre paint prep,
I hit it with the “frame coating” then coated with rubberized undercoating.
Didn’t get to the welding today. Drying time of the chemicals ate into weld time.
That’s for another weekend. Thanks for looking in!
