99,720 original miles so 00000 is right around the corner and it will indeed have new life.

Any more progress --- or photos (). . . to share?

[EARLY911ZOO]

ah yes there has been loads of work done and nearing the day we will hear the new motor run.
new suspension pan
oil systems flushed
oil tank and fender cooler renewed
fuel lines replaced
brake lines replaced
gas tank restored
new fuel sender
new axles installed
and I am sure I am forgetting some

and the piece de resistance...the engine...awaits its shinning moment

I know some of you would like to see some detail of the gravel shroud, this is a real nice one and the most complete one I have seen, all rivets and the rubber intact.

edit. I forgot to take a pic of the 2 big rubber O rings/bungs that cushion the space between the shroud and the cooler at the hose fittings, I see that it is important as to not create wear from vibrations/friction where the shroud would come in contact with the outlets at the top of the cooler.

found that I did take a photo when dis-assembling

Thank you for those, Richard

Love seeing cars like this come back. How's the Owner doing? I'm sure the work + costs are a bit daunting, but . . . . is he getting excited?

[EARLY911ZOO]

Any updates?

[EARLY911ZOO]

I am so pissed I'm having a hard time laying the words...pffft. *x^&%$
