Stone guard?

I appreciate a good "welding" job, without rust on the seams and at a level, as soon as I have public video. I have pending to finish the frame, I need radial
//They tell me user forum Spain that this putty is not original. What putty was it? Is there any index or post where you can see the putty used?

As I said, I was able to talk to the second owner of the car, and he told me a story I had already heard ...
The same day he sold the car to the next owner, this one had an accident on a well-known curve here. What he told me was that the car suffered a blow and the owner ended up in the hospital for a few days. From that conversation it was clear to me that the car had an accident so I started to "unite points" ... What is strange is that no one has joined them even as someone with experience would realize it easily?
My theory.From that area, I have photos, and at no time (in the area repaired hood) You get to see the pink putty. Therefore I interpret that that and the hole that I found there is also part of a repair. Therefore I think that there vierion that the material that was used was that gold and was decided to use to join the flares to the body (A "fudge") that I could observe the other day to see the flares with time. The driver's side is touched and is seen or interpreted to be soldered to the body to keep the shape. The golden welding also we saw in one of the rear bumpers, to fill an area that would be "deteriorated"? ---- I do not think that the capo has been cast at the same time since the capo has a tin work very lead delicate, apart from the yellow layer on it. I have just seen, that "one of the former owners" does not want to be recognized as having that accident because he was called, and he told us we can rest assured that he did not have any accidents with the car. I believe the previous owner,who sold it to this, and also in the tests ?. Did the car stretch? Did you get to deform the roof? We used the same welding material that was observed in the capo to "disguise" that accident? The old owner told me that the car had more headlights before the blow, but if they were anti fog ... would there be a button on the dashboard? Could someone tell me on your vehicle? When repaired, it is assumed (said by the former owner) They were sent to ask for parts to Germany .... I estimate by the blow and the curve that is,I'll fill in this as I go looking at the pictures and remembering details .... But now I'm at a point and with that owner on the list. Is it clouding the history of the car? I have proof that the car was damaged ... How can a person so old be "lying" so blatantly? If you were interested in buying the car, should not you have said otherwise? What if he collided with him? Or, Maybe, he does not want to be remembered for having an accident the first day he has a porsche, and, not just any ...

Talking to and meeting with previous owners is interesting. I have contacts with those who owned the car and PPI/maintained it years ago -- it is one of the pleasures of ownership the connections and friendships can be made. Even with comprehensive documentation they give a narrative -- always nice when they volunteer a tidbit that is supported by papers. Sometimes memory is faulty. One PO quoted the price he sold it for but I have the letters and the copy of the cheque and the amount was different. Suspect he recalls a different sale as he owned a number of cars.


Regarding fog / driving light switch . My car is a model 73 it has a switch that matches the style of the others . One of the three above radio. It is a British so called rest of world car so no rubber gubbins or identifiers. There is a telltale light in centre.

The car did not come with factory fitted auxiliary lights ( I have various papers that give spec) but it was equipped early in its life. I have pictures of the car sent by a previous owner with ttg lights fitted in 70s. In it they used the appropriate ttg chrome grill (used at first on earlier model 73 cars even after grille was black; at keast until stocks ran out and black cut ones were fittted). He was a rally driver who competed in RAC rally and had class success in an Escort -- rally boys are keen on extra lights even on their roadcars as helps to see where going. Lamps are in storage no longer on car but switch remains.

As you say, it's very interesting to talk to former owners! One offered an effusive talk and we talked about 40 minutes ... Good stories that I would like to share someday, however another ... 1 minute. I think it always comes out of one wanting to tell stories. To me, if an owner of my old van called me, I would be happy to tell him the stories of the car. But I also understand that each one has his own way of being. I also understand that the gentleman with whom I speak for a short time is older than the one who speaks the most and as you say, memory often fails! The documents are important to check things, as are the "scars" on the sheet. What do you have to believe about your matter? What do you put in the documents? Sorry for my English as always and answer so shortly! Could you tell me on my dashboard if there is a "switch" that matches what you say about that car? My father does not remember if all the switches worked correctly. What he does remember is that the bonnet lights were activated by the handle of the steering wheel.

somebody could helps me to identify this car ? Lights in the hood?
the photo comes from the post ultimate R

​Could someone tell me if the part used to activate the rear window heater would be the same as to activate fog lights? I have a switch with the part number and it matches the rear window heater switch but in other searches it also appears as the fog lights switch?

There were no fog lights lit by switch at least not that I have seen. Maybe they were lights that were activated with those of the capo? The old owner said that he had two headlights more "in front of the capo" and two inserted in the body

​I have been observing the wrong switch. The switch that made me believe that the car did not have "fog lights" was the radio becker (I do not know how it works) Looking at the car for a while, I looked at the switch on the right side of the steering wheel, where the key of a car would go normal. I have seen in the part number and corresponds with the one of antifog lights. Same sticker as that of the rear window heater (yellow sticker with part identification number). The glass heater if I'm named in the communications with the porsche but the fog lights, until now ... They have not appeared in any communication. But is there the original switch? I understand that the fog lights were not shown in the COA? How can someone investigate if the installation is a factory? I understand that if they have the "yellow" stickers and the identifying numbers 901xxxx, are they original? It would correspond with the version of the second owner. The car had two headlights more in front of the hood. That I have checked now and everything he told me I can only check what he says "plastic body" something that I distrust since the front wings are deformed as if they had been present in a strong blow ... Rear flippers and other pieces also have layers of yellow. So?
