Nice 911 project.


I got this last month in a package of 2 911s

Looks like the motor on the other one is shot so Im unloading this one to free up funds for a rebuild

It is a very solid 911. NO RUST. Looks to be an arizona and texas car

No signs of rust even in the battery box area.

Nice interior except for the dash

Rear floor mats are missing but fronts are there and in decent shape

Fuchs are clean and all straight with no major rash


Everything is there. 


WHAT I HAVE DONE
dump the old oil and replace oil and filter with a Fram and Rotella 15w-40
Replaced the fuel pump
Started the engine




WHAT IT NEEDS

Paint
Interior pieces back together
Rear tires, current are dry rotted
Air filter rubber straps
Rear tailight lense
Windshield
Dash Cap Cover
New seals-weatherstripping
Turn signal covers

My plan was to get this one painted and running well, however I thought I'd pass it along as is and let someone else pick this up as a project since these are getting more difficult to find. 


I PLAN TO PUT A LINK OF THE ENGINE RUNNING SO YOU CAN HEAR IT RUN SMOOTHLY. YOU WILL NOTICE THE ALT BELT IS REMOVED, IT WAS THAT WAY WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR.






I HAVE A NEW BELT BUT WHEN I INSTALLED IT AND FIRED THE CAR UP THERE WAS A RATTLE FROM THE ALTERNATOR? (FROM WHAT I CAN TELL)

SO I REMOVED IT AGAIN SINCE THE CAR IS ONLY STARTED FOR 30 SECONDS AT A TIME 


WHEN STARTED IT SMOKES A BIT LIKE ALL OLD 911s WHEN THEY SIT FOR A WHILE

Porsche's high-tech 'mirror' turns every car into a Macan

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Porsche calls it the "Magic Mirror," but it's less a reflective device and more 12 high-def screens that track drivers pulling into the valet area at a mall in Los Angeles. As they pass the screens in their cars, they get to see what they'd look like pulling up in a Macan, Porsche's newest and smallest crossover. It could be considered the experiential evolution of a prior campaign that let people imagine how a Porsche would look in their driveways, an idea that was taken even further by a dealer in Toronto a few years later. Check out the video to see how it was done and how it was received.

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
