Re: Long Distance Restoration 1970, 911T
Another suspension update from across the pond. The entire suspension has been sent back to the paint and body shop. Troy likes to work the final phase of body prep and paint with the car in it's most natural stance, four on the floor. This way all of the lines can be made perfect and the body panel...

Re: Long Distance Restoration 1970, 911T
Windows out will be final paint as we're (for the most part) leaving the interior intact. The process involved with the body work is extremely messy. So, right before final prep they'll come out and those edges will be prepped.

Re: Long Distance Restoration 1970, 911T
Hi Jos and DDK crew. That fateful day has arrived where you got a little color on your tub! First, a few pictures of the Wurth undercoating. Spot on with your summary Jos, no more beige here in the US. We toiled for months trying to get it shipped in from Canada. We tried the 3M beige based upon a r...

Re: Long Distance Restoration 1970, 911T
Hey Jos, I used to spin cast gold and silver when living in Key West. Cutting trees got old. I much enjoy building vintage cars! I know you've been waiting to see some caliper porn.

Re: Long Distance Restoration 1970, 911T
More progress last week. The handbrake assemblies and the hubs were pulled in. They're getting rotors and calipers as I type. https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1010411_10151925016223193_158544211_n.jpg Everything plated and painted: https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos...

Re: Long Distance Restoration 1970, 911T
Here's today's update from across the pond: Rear suspension bushing and bearing time. The entire suspension on this car was media blasted to bare metal and repainted. Various bits were replated using clear and yellow zinc as it has superior corrosion protection vs. cad. Any under body bits we like t...

Re: Long Distance Restoration 1970, 911T
Brake caliper shots will come with some suspension shots this week. They're done and came out great. We'll get some detailed shots of the rubber going on and the bearings going in. Once the rotors are on we'll cap everything off with the calipers. Kinda like setting the stone Jos! :D
