Re: The Manhattan Project

Great to catch up on this thread.

I finished my 72 T and need to add some photographs.

I also have a 77 Targa sat in the US and I would like to use it as a base to modify and have some fun.

Changing the interior to black was a great move BTW. Looks great.

Re: My '72 911T

I hope you have great health and lots of parts to fit at this time. I wish I had access to a garage and a half completed restoration right now!

Any recommendations Jonny? (restored by Jonas @ JZM btw)

1972 911 Alternator refurbishment

I have a 72 911 T that has a slightly low output on the alternator at idle (light comes on and its quite noisy). Its the french branded one. Any advice on where to send it for a rebuild?

Thanks

Re: 1972 911 T LHD Restoration (Pics Fixed!)

Thanks Its Signal Yellow. The Glasurit code is 7210. Ironically, its probably a bit more orange than yellow to my eyes but it really does look lovely in the flesh. The dash paint is superb too. The painter was explaining that its a super tough finish and again nice to work with from his point of vie...

The effect is that the colour pigment is not seen though a laquer and the depth of reflection etc is simply amazing. The painters loved using it The painter is super talented. Virtu...
