Bridget: Das Porsche 911

[Rebounder]

i think they're too played out... but you could buy and rebuild these to your specs... rebuilding them would be more then i'd want to spend on wheels though

I appreciate it. Yeah, I would definitely like to look for a different set of wheels once she gets up and running. The wheels right now aren't doing the car justice. I would love to go bigger. I'm not sure on wheels though. I really like the CCW's much like yours. And I have been thinking about going to carb, but i'm just not sure if it is woth it. the Jettronic mfi on it seemed to be working fine, the vehicle had just been neglected to get it in this state. But Carbuerated sounds a lot nice.No worries, It's fine, I have heard that about the bumpers before, but like i said, I'd like to get her running, then tackle wheels, and then move onto aesthetics. I really love your rear setup with the decklid and big wing. Thanks for the helpful insight.



I have made a few mistakes in my writing so far and you have been there to correct me. "Rear engine, midship." "Duck tail, turbo tail." Cool. Internet high five for you. But seeing as how you also have a Porsche build on this site, constructive criticism from your part would be much more helpful than your sarcastic remarks. By all means, you have every right to troll my thread, and there is nothing i can do to stop you, but you are one of the people on this site who could actually be helping me. Thanks anyways.

Getting it running right is the smart way to do it. Sounds like you have good intentions and it seems like you guys are doing a good job with the rebuild. These cars a joy and a curse at the same time. Also don't take my criticisms as trying to bring you down. It's quite the opposite if you have any questions during your build feel free to ask.

And thanks for the kind words about my car. If you like CCWs you should be able to easily find a set on Rennlist or Pelican pretty easily when you're ready. Fortunately they're abundant in the 911 community. I think there's a set for sale right now on Pelican.

tell me this car is still alive? and that you are going to continue this thread!!!

[ScubaSteve]

Whatever you do, be careful. If you crash this car, you will regret it for a long time. Resist the urge to do dumb stuff. You WILL get in an accident, you are not the driver you think you are.

Thanks for the advice

you'd need adapters... but i do have a set of 17x9.5/11s i could give you for cheap. i'm only an ass when people seem to get ahead of themselves.

I love the CCW's and RS's. thanks, i might take you up on that offer later on if you're still willing.

Yes, Pelican has been incredibly helpful. I bought all of the new rings, gaskets, and boot off of there.

I appreciate criticism, and advice. No hard feelings taken. Thanks for your supports, I'll be needing help in the future.

Thanks for the comments and everything. It’s been a while since the last update, School, college apps, community service, and sports have me busy.

Getting everything all cleaned up.
Found some problems
• Bad valve seat
• Tons of carbon build up was interrupting valves
• Rocker shaft seal has this mechanism I cant really explain, and I don’t have a picture, but basically it was damn near about to fall off which could have been catastrophic
• Broken headbolt
• Cracked headbolt
Other than that, it is in relatively great condition, just a few thorns in the paw of the beast caused it to stop running so well.
Here are pictures.















This was one of the problems. The carbon build up was causing it not to seat properly.




I Don’t take auto shop, but I’m good friends with the teacher, so he let me get the keys and I’ve put in about 14 hours after school this week in the shop



Got everything all cleaned up























Cylinders still looking good








Getting closer





Gaskets and rings, and a new rubber boot for one of the cv joints.



About ready to start putting her back together



Went wakeboarding and am earning flight hours so I can eventually fly planes

Please do, RWB, do it, DO. IT.

man... i couldnt believe the guy in the next town from me selling a mostly rust free 81 sc for $3500 with no motor... XD
but this...
2500..

Holy shit. I wish. Haha i looked into it, and i think it was like $18,000 to do it. I might be wrong, but i think you pay for the guy to fly to where you live and then he does the kit for you. I watched a video or something. But hell, at that price, thats how it should be.

Thats insane. You should have got it and put in some crazy engine like what some of the other guys are doing on here. I know one guy is doing a VR6 swap and another gent is doing an LSx swap. It's so sick. i love all the ideas people have on this site
