Progress on your tractors

Post by Ian Gunney »

Guys - how are you all doing with the tractor rebuilds etc?

Mine is progressing slowly - sidelined mainly as a result of non Porsche things to do around the house but looking forward to getting back into it soon. Mine is pretty much all stripped, the motor is on the floor waiting to be taken apart, wheels and seat all painted.

Not giving any deadlines....
1966 912 Karmann Coupe - polo red.
1972 914/6 GT replica - 2.7 - signal orange.
1961 Standard 217 Tractor.
2003 Boxster S.
1967 Alfa Giulia Sprint GT Veloce.

Well...

Mine is progressing much more slowly than I could have envisaged, but I also have my 3.2 Carrera ongoing restoration in parallel.

Many thanks to DDK's crisc204 + cris senior at 911 Triple R in Wembley for the fantastic restoration, panel work and superb painting that has been carried out to the major components of the tractor sheet metalwork. I am on holiday shortly but will post some before and after photos asap - It is a stunning transformation ! I can only hope that my own efforts are up to the same standards.

And that paint finish is from the gun before flatting or polishing!!

All the best
