911 3.2

Post by Drmark »

Bit young for this site but thought you might like to see what Darren65, Nick Fulljames and I are doing to Nick's old 3.2 which I have now bought. After Darren has done a respray (excluding the roof), dealt with usual corrosion areas (pics to follow) and rustproofed the car, we have removed whale tail for a more subtle look.

And after repaint - badged but no grill

Car is now at Nick's awaiting top end rebuild (and while we are there new big end bearings, rod bolts and nuts, plus hoses as required) new tin ware, engine and transmission mounts, clutch and fork update, and heater boxes.

Very excited

I like the wheels as they are.
Is the ride height standard - looks a little high (something else to play around with later in the year!)?

Are you also going to remove the front lower lip spoiler? They are designed to work in conjuction with each other.

Looking good

Not yet Alan - I know that running front spoiler only reduces lift at the front but can worsen it at rear, but then we early flat lidders know all about that! And I don't intend to set any new land speed records in it

Car was surprisingly solid - though normal aperture rust, albeit superficial

Looking better

And after some wax

Interior in good nick but seats need a clean and some love - unusual colour for 3.2
