Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Spent the whole afternoon tidying the garage and washed both cars for the first time in several months......can't remember the last time I had two clean cars in the garage and could walk around without tripping over things.......I felt quite chuffed and the glorious weather certainly added to the glow ......
.......still wrong on a Wednesday though! .....
Cheers,

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Lovely.
Best thing I did a few years ago with my 2 door double width garage was to remove the centre column and fit a roller door.
Damaged the 911 on the pillar and that did it!
Nothing better than a tidy garage.

Garage tidy is on my list too - however Katharine also has lists, many lists. Some of which include big projects and decorating

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
Deck lid grille removing bars for polishing.
911T year 1969;
Grille mesh sheet remains black.
What about the five flat bars, are these polished or should by black?

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
I’m no expert, but I have a few copies of the excellent 000 magazine, which in issue 011 has an article on early 911 grilles. It seems to suggest that the red car grille here is a 69E and has silver support bars.chrismarine wrote:Deck lid grille removing bars for polishing.

Whereas the green car below is a 73T, which has black anodised. The text says it changed to black in 1972.
Difficult to tell from the pics I know - but that’s what it says!

2.4 engines cars I believe were black(72 and 73 ) ... as far I’m aware 69 should be polished style

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
I have not seen the article in person so don't know what information accompanied those photos but the red/pink 911E rear end does not depict the correct engine lid grille for a '69 model.jeremyg wrote:

The '69 models had a 3-bar grille & the corresponding engine lid had only 2 'tabs' (1 at the centre top & 1 at the centre bottom) of the opening in the lid ...

Re: What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?
So Chrismarine, it looks like the answer from the experts is it should be silver if your car is 69, but it shouldn’t have 5 uprights, just 3. So either you have the wrong grille or your car’s not a 69!
