What Did You Do to Your 911 Today?

The short story. I purchased this 1970 Conga green 911T twenty years ago as a reward for my eldest son then seven years old for graduating college. The car had limited options of heated rear screen and sports seats. I payed $3200 with the original engine and trans which I stupidly sold on before I understood their value. The car sat for years while the boss and I raised four children. In 2009 I discovered this site, whereupon the project morphed into a monster. It has a dual plug 3.2L bored and stroked to 3.8L on modified factory MFI, 915 trans with limited slip, 930 brakes, full elephant suspension bushings on SC trailing arms and front suspension, factory RS flares, factory steel framed duck tail and tank, RS Fuchs. Needless to mention the eldest is NOT getting the car. He will have to buy his own. A short advertisement, John Truman built the engine, transmission and suspension which function perfectly.

Today I picked up my '69 911S from my mechanic, Gene Kirschner at Autohaus (Peapack, NJ). Gene installed an Elephant Racing radiator-type front fender oil cooler as well as a correct NOS oil filter console, thermostat and hardlines. Gathering these rare parts took many months and c-notes, as you might imagine.

Curious, since the S came with all of that, what happened to the originals?

Are those rivets all plastic?

My guy put on a rear fog light and K&N filters

Is it foggy in Berwyn ?

Finished welding in the front suspension pan from Restoration Design. I used a Quick Spot II spot welder from HTP America for the spot welding, I was very impressed with the spot welder.
