My '72 911T

[Gary71]

Amazing job, well done ! Look forward to seeing on our local roads …..

Elgan is that you? Time for a new readers car thread, or two…

[Minshull]

Working on it !

[Nine One One]

The job for today was to adjust a very slight wobble on the LH front wheel bearing.

That was easy enough. So I thought I’d touch up the underseal whilst it was up...

However it appears to be a little late for that!


This is (was!) the front lower corner of the inner sill/bottom of A post.

That’s the next two years of my life and wallet gone then.

I’ve been putting it off for many years but the time has finally come to take it back to a shell properly and not do half a job. Not just yet though as it still needs to take me to Classic Le Mans!

I went all the way back again to when you started this thread, did the rear torsion tube repairs, had some fun in it, then decided to fix a wheel bearing, and declared two years and wallet swallow was about to start.

It has been summed up before, but what a brilliant thread of 911 ownership over 18+ years, and how far the car has come in your ownership - brilliant thread and workmanship by all involved and thanks for sharing everything with all of us - a real credit to you!

[Gary71]

Thanks, I appreciate it

Now the car is (almost) finished I get to put up a fence and do DIY jobs

It’s a glorious car Gary. Amazing the amount of work you’ve put into it and the level of build/finish quality.

I choose car parking spaces carefully these days

[Bootsy]

Glorious.

So Gary, a question...........

Does it still feel like your car - to drive, that feeling when you get in etc. or does it feel like a new experience?

[Gary71]

Very much the same

Steering is a bit different, probably a combination of the lower efforts from the larger wheel and the ball jointed Turbo tie rods.

Engine and box feel the same, clutch and shift are slick, still drives like a pig for a few miles in the morning then sings happily to the red line.

Very few squeaks and rattles which is reassuring, and the new clock vent is great!

Once I get the carpet in and the rest of the trim it will feel a bit more finished as seeing shiny sound deadening when you are driving isn’t ideal!

[Gary71]

Just been for a drive to see a friend and then to get my carpets from the trimmer, first time I’ve really wound it up.

My god it sounds glorious

I’ve changed nothing, but maybe the memories had just faded a bit, as it’s just spine tingling.

That rasp above 4K…

[Gary71]

This stuff has a kick I’ll tell you

[Gary71]

Rear compartment done.
Think an hour of this glue is quite enough

[AndrewSlater]

Only just catching up with your thread Gary.
All I can say is excellent work, the car looks fabulous - congrats on getting to the finish line.
All the best

Proper job and a great looking car.

Looks like EVOstick of old, proppa stuff, second only to painting a car in cellulose.

Why did Porsche vent the trans coupling cover?
