    1968 911s Rebuild

    Have started rebuild of 1968 911s, UK car, wet and salty roads, lots of rust. Restoration is to deliver a regular driving car rather than show car, focusing budget on getting as much rust off the car as possible. Will be respraying back to original slate grey, with red interior.


    May have some questions along the way...

    ..one current question is with regards to the washer bottle hole in the front panel. Consensus is building that the 1968 model had the hole. My car is an early 68 model built in December 1967.

    Thoughts?
