Show your ride...

Thank you Tom. My last 911 was an SC and I find this car a bit more of a challenge to work on, plus here is the NLA issue for many parts. Tempted to try my first engine drop to save some money off the tranny work.

these are the first pics I am posting on the Web.

I spent 3 years on this one. Stripped to bare metal, and a rotisserie restore. This began its life as a 71E. I struggled to restore it to its orginal state, or RS clone it. I fell in love with the RS styling.

Hopefully it was a good thing....

After browsing the "show your seats" thread over and over for the last 6 months or so, I decided to find something vintage to replace the sparcos. I would've liked to had found a set of sport seats but there were no deals to be had during my search. Actually there was one sport seat in the local craigslist a few months ago, when I called the seller told me it sold the same day within hours - care to guess how much? $150! I was a day late... Someone definitely scored.

I found this pair of scheels that had been in storage for many years and the owner didn't want to sell, but after a couple of weeks of persistency, he let me have them for a fair price. They needed complete tear down and upholstery but were in good shape structurely. One is a fixed frame and the other has a tilting mechanism driven by gears and a knob on the side.

They're very comfortable and I'm pleased on how they turned out. Below are some pictures.

This is how I found them.

Here is my 71 t targa. Purchased from the original owner in April 05. It has 2.2, 5 speed, deep 6's including the spare, S trim. I have been doing maintenance on it including brake master cylinder, clutch cable, rebuild pedal cluster, SSI's, tune-ups, valve adjust, oil/filter, rebuild/recover the targa top and lots of cleaning. The car has rock chips on the nose, some dings and scratchs and the picture makes it look good, but it's mine, I love driving it and I have wanted an early 911 for a long time, since high school. So there it is, a work in progress, enjoy!

GREAT look'n car Neal....... hope you'll post more pics

Cheers

At your disposal My '72T not an "s" VIN: 9112102748. Looking for another source for information... more pics to follow unless I'm immediately dismissed. This is a "bastard".. 901 tranny with 71T engine, fresh Webers, new pedal bushings, master cylinder, all new fuel lines and fuel pump. I've owned her since 1994, found out in the country in Terrell, Texas purchased for a measly 2.5K... currently residing in Dallas. Flame away..
