    Restoring Dad's Old 911

    I don't post here much, but that's because not much has changed with my '73 S Targa. At least until last September when I started on a restoration project!

    My dad bought the car new in '73 and I bought it from him about 15 years ago. It has 45k miles, no accidents, and is largely unmolested. It was resprayed in the 90s and had some bits replaced over the years, but a lot of typical wear items are original including the interior.

    Anyway, we're doing a full resto: engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, bushings, weather stripping, etc. Patina will be preserved wherever possible and originality is critical. At the same time, I want a no excuses car that I can enjoy any time and drives like new.

    Pictures to come.

    EDIT: In case anyone asks, I'm not doing this to hype it for sale or anything. This car will never be for sale.
