Re: My '72 911T
Carpet work in progress…
Never quite sure where the time goes!
Going to stick the other sill on and call it a day for now. All the other bits need edge binding so some careful pattern work needed, especially on the rear seat.

I can pop round with a packet of woodbines, a sawsall and a tube of polyfilla and do my sladey-san magic on your arches if you wantGary71 wrote:Might have to pop rivet some arch extensions on, but sure it will be fine…

Sounds like a plan. What could possibly go wrong?

Re: My '72 911T
Decided to repaint the seat brackets as I forgot just how visible they are and my rushed brush painting wasn’t going to cut it.
I’ve also ordered a box of fixings the right length so I don’t damage the fuel lines this time!

I have the answer to your engine mount woes Gary, but it might get a tad wearing on a long journey

Re: My '72 911T
Calling that done for the day.
Stripped the box, pinion shaft fully dismantled and dried. New seals all round, back together and on the engine.
Not too bad for a day with a 5am start…
