The cockpit is in final primer.
|
Same thing, different end.
|
Now we are going to get to the bodywork. I keep telling everybody it wasn't on the car in the fire... Remember the car caught fire in a body shop.
|
Rumor was, the car has 1000 original K's on it and the paint you're looking at is original.
|
Clearly there was a little filler work done, but everything else is original paint.
|
Another view.
|
This is the only remaining bodywork. The doors, rear bumper, and deck lid were burnt up in the fire.
|
The fit isn't that bad between the bumper and fender. These parts are just hanging on.... We'll adjust them tmrw.
|
All of the holes and all of the detail are original Porsche Factory 911R fabrication.
|
After these parts were cleaned we found a bazillion little heat bubbles. Now it does appear that the parts were on the vehicle (maybe not the hood) during the fire.
|
We have also started working on the engine.
|
This is the 911R flywheel.
|
Got a little toasty on top of the engine.
|
Score: Fire-1, Alternater-0
|
The distributor did okay just toasted the cap.
|
Another view.
|
Grenade filter didn't do too bad, but the end of the suction hose did burn.
|
A little media blasting and some coating should be good enough.
|
This is actually the same breather cap as a Carrera 6 and is also in good condition.
|
Pistons are ready for new rings and the cylinders just need a fine hone and they'll be good to go.
|
Serial # of the original block-case.
|
Engine type: 901-22. Can you say "original engine to the car!".
|
Doesn't look bad, but we'll still have it tumbled at Ollie's.
|
Heads are in nearly perfect 1000km condition.
|
Not sure if I'm going to separate the Ti-rods from the crank. They look to be in perfect condition.
|
A box of goodies including the oil pump and the aluminum cylinder air deflectors.
