I have got replacement wing mounts (in front of the A pillar) for both sides because they're rotten. Am a bit concerned about making sure I get them replaced perfectly true given how that'll affect the fitment of the outer wings but I saw a pic where someone had welded in place a kind of temporary j...

Front right inner wing mostly sorted apart from the rotten nose section that awaits the repair panel being welded in: front right inner wing.jpg The primered bit has been taken back to bare metal and as much of the surface rust removed as possible (only in fairly small, isolated patches, most of the...

Was relieved to find replacement hood strut brackets on Design911 even if they were over £40 each. I was never going to be able to fabricate anything close to those and would have had to make do with a crude approximation that was functional. In hindsight I maybe drilled too many, too small holes (a...

Hello everyone, I'm still here and the project is still going, if rather slowly. Looking back at my last post, no, I haven't been on holiday for the last 7 months (more's the pity). Didn't make all that much progress last year for a variety of reasons (including apathy) and was dismayed when I total...

Thanks very much for the replies...confirming my feeling that these are not exactly standard part #901 341 043 03 therefore I shall request a refund from the seller on that basis. Update: The seller is not giving up my refund without a fight but I believe I have identified the source of the extra 20...

When starting to clean up the front suspension removed from my 912 restomod project ('My 912 Restomod' over in the Resto threads area) I discovered the wishbones are scrap having rotted through in a few areas. Going by the parts catalogue I believe the part # is 901 341 043 03. The wishbones for lat...

Cheers all for the tips and encouragement. I think I will bite the bullet and get the loom out; seems like the prudent thing to do really. Hello James At the Thirlestane castle show last Sunday I spoke to a young man who has 15 years experience of resto work and set up his own business in 2018 at Ro...

I need to get the shell onto a jig before too long. A friendly body shop contact I have near me (nr Edinburgh) has drawn a blank from his network of pro colleagues. Of course, it's not just the (Celette) jig but the kit that would be needed for a SWB 912 (e.g., the engine mounts are half-way up the ...

OK so here we go with where I'm at with the project...down to the shell and up on my homemade dolly. 912 shell.jpg The laborious process of getting it back to bare metal is ongoing. There's a lot of tarry underseal-type material to remove. I'm OK with doing this by hand because I get to inspect ever...

Alright so here we go with my DIY restomod project based on a RHD, UK-registered MY66 912. It might have started life as a 912 but I bought it as an unfinished project which I believe was going to be a '73 RSR tribute so it came with 11" and 9" wide wheels and full widebody kit. Oh and it ...

Thanks for the warm welcomes and encouragement. I'll try and crack on and get the Resto thread started asap

I wanted a RHD and cut a long story short managed to buy an unfinished project which at its heart is a MY66 UK-registered RHD 912, registered Nov '65. I suspect the project was aiming for a '73 RSR tribute based on the very widebody kit and wide wheels it came with. It was only a rolling shell so no...

Hi, I'm James, located nr Edinburgh and I'm going to need all the help and wisdom I can get from this forum for my restomod project based on a MY66 RHD 912. More on that in the next post but first off how I ended up here (sorry if its a bit long winded)... I first fell in love with the 911 in the mi...
