    72...it's time to start a thread

    I've only has the car for a couple of months so far, but I can't stop doing things to it. btw...this is my first early 911. As I get things done, I'll post some pics of the progress. So, feel free to stop me from doing something stupid. Again... haha!

    As you all know, I have a list of "to do" items. That list just keeps getting bigger and bigger, but I am making some progress on it. D'oh!

    The engine in it is a 1974 2.7. Yesterday, I put some new 906 rain hats (thanks Ramon) and Cohline fuel hoses (thanks Brad) on the carbs. As y'all can see, I've met several folks on this site! I also had the stock trumpets cleaned up at the metal polisher. Ahhhh, now to finish this one and on to the next project. I foresee that today, I'll be cutting down the new grille badge bolts! DA move there

    Gregbus,
    The rainhats look great and the overall appearance of your engine/compartment is clean, simple & tidy. Very nice.

    Very nice, my only suggestion is to use some Norma clamps the ones you have will tear up that nice fuel line.

    I would love to replace all my nasty cinch-clamps with Normas.

    Greg,

    If you want to be correct for a '72 you need to change the wing nuts to knurled screws on your engine compartment plastic cover.... wing nuts started about Jan. '73

    Nice look'n car bud........

    Rick, they are also used on many 3 series BMWs. You should be able to find them all day at most any salvage yard. That's where I've stocked up on them.
