1967 912 Restoration. Light ivory
So i thought it was about time i started a build thread, mainly to document the work I'm doing on the car.
I picked it up January this year, delivered from holland after i sold my old oval window beetle.
Its a Matching Numbers, Light ivory 912, 07/07/1966 build/ 67 model.
I bought it as running driving car, but with the intention of doing a full restoration, with a few suspension/engine upgrades.
Heres a few pictures from the day i collected it....
Then got a bit of use out of it before the strip down started....

Re: 1967 912 Restoration
So decided if I'm going to do it, i might as well do it properly, so i made the decision to have the shell Acid Dipped, so i started stripping the car down to a bare shell to see what i had to play with.
Engine/gearbox out
Turns out its pretty solid
Mocked up one of my fuchs to give me an idea
As it stands now, fully stripped ready to be dipped
Engine ready for a good check over, full detail, and possibly some period performance upgrades
Also, for anyone that is interested i tend to post updates on my Instagram page, @samjmcmahon so feel free to follow

Re: 1967 912 Restoration
Cheers guys.
Yeah luckily it's really solid, just a few minor bits on the floors, rear parcel shelf, and an old repair that needs doing properly on the rear quarter.

Re: 1967 912 Restoration
Got the car all loaded up ready to go yesterday.
And dropped off today....
Been given a 3 week turn around which is quicker than I expected, so well pleased with that.
Can't wait to get it back and start on the metal work.

Re: 1967 912 Restoration
I'm a complete amateur (with the scars and the bills to prove it)
BUT I am halfway through doing an average resto on a RHD 1967 912.
Look forward to seeing how you progress.
Hopefully I'll learn something.
Good luck!

I've built a few VWs but this Porsche is a bit of a learning curve, although I guess they are just nuts bolts and metal at the end of the day.
