1970S Resto Help

The original ad contained this info:

The car was built on 1 March 1970. It was originally sold and delivered in Germany as a LHD. Its original colour was silver metallic (925) with a black interior, with the following options: 425 Rear wiper, 427: Stainless steel muffler skirt, 430 fog lights, 452 radio, 470, comfort pack, 471 heated rear window. Sometime before 1989 it was imported to Australia. Presumably at the time it was imported it was also converted from LHD to RHD. The engine is not original. It is a 2.7L from a mid 1970s 911, however, I think some original parts remain on the engine. Eg. The red fan housing. All other running gear is original "s" spec, including gearbox and brakes. It has fiberglass front fenders and rear flares. The car needs quite a lot of work. It has rust in a few places. The paint is not great. The wiring is a bit of a mess and it runs pretty rough. I understand the engine was rebuilt in 2006.

It appears the bulk of your work centers on putting the chassis back to original (assuming you wish to, including the LHD configuration) and finding a good original engine. The body pieces are pretty standard. The engine will require a search. Some of the optional equipment will take some time as well to find. Great project!

You have to figure out whats the end product going to be..but at these point stock is going to be a monumental task..if there is 2.7 liter...a rsr race/street car..??? It has the flares already..maybe if you had a direction..we can suggest something?

Thanks and some great points already.

My intentions are to remove the flares and rerun the care to stock body. Carry out the rust repairs first.

Convert back to lhd. The conversion is a cut and weld, in that the instrument binicle was cut out and welded to the rhs and so the smugglers box remains as do the original sheet metal under the hood.

I only have photos on my iPhone, but will post some of this detail tonight.

The flares are all fiberglass.

Should this car have an aluminium engine lid and rear bumper?

Thanks
