No spannering this weekend but got some pics lined up of the 911T shell. There has been some pretty ugly hacking and welding perpetrated on it.

Have you seen this in the Porsche pics thread?

Wondered how long it would be before someone picked that up.
I am sure spillers would like a copy if he doesn't already have

Thanks squirejo,

Yes I have a copy of this Autocar roadtest which is fascinating.

Thanks to Derrik Insley I now have the original log book and have been doing some searching. The first private owner was Fron Purslow from Shrewsbury

It seems he owned a motorcycle shop and raced motorcycles.

Waiting for the shell welding fun next year my mind has turned to researching history and I have now talked to a couple of previous owners but more of that later.

I also want to stert lining up the parts for assembly. Starting with the worst I have this sad remains of the pedal cluster:

Looking at what is available it is nearly all LHD except this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-911-R ... 3ce0ea4c16

"Second hand pedal box from a 1976 911"

Not sure if there was much if any change from 1966 to 1976? The pedal structure looks the same but my springs etc are so poor it is hard to tell by looking.

Any ideas/options gratefully received.

I think your pedal box needs a bit of refurbishment ...

That needs keeping safe as a reminder/trophy for future years.
It underlines the task to savor.
Your silence was a worry, but seems you are on the case!

Are you sure that isn't a artifact from the Titanic?

Pedal rubbers look good though

Careful ….. John needs a RHD pedal cluster I think. Those two are LHD.

I have seen a couple of RHD ones for sale, but none recently. Will keep an eye out.

Wine not fogged your brain then Mick.

This is mine from a 72, and I know Garry has one from his 67S so we can compare. I think they were the same, but will get Garry to post a photo (if he can find it after his recent move!)

There seems to be a clutch return spring arrangement on the LHS of the one in the e bay ad you linked to John, that is absent on mine
