Pero mi mala memoria no me hace acordarme de quien...
The car had been parked in a garaje for years. She was too dirty, including rat nest were found in the engine!!
[/url]
This is Salvador, the Porsche specialist.
A Fuch rim after a sweet polished to check how they could look:
Incredible to see this!!!!!!!!
‘Black’ had the factory original oil filter installed yet!
In Soloporsche, this thread has lot of followers, and Josep tried to share their decisions with everybody. Here’s a picture asking for advice about exterior paint:
Josep purchased a butterfly center horn for the original steering wheel:
The rear muffler cover trim (similar to Steve McQueen’s 911)
He was thinking about to install it… not sure… perhaps He would place it at the end of restoration to check the result…
In Steve’s car looks like this:
the original 1971 911 Autoradio Blaupunkt original:
More images in the important process of obtaining the final color:
Lots of test: solid, metallic, different Slates…. Silvers…
He did a complete combination task including interior natural leather tones combined to exterior slates and silver
At the end of June, Josep ‘decided’ to go for Slate combined to natural tan leather:
Another pic found of an early 911 in a beauty grey:
Josep ready to start up!!
The car was almost totally dismantled, ready to go to the body repair shop to be sand blasted:
During the process of dissambling, they noticed 4 different paint color sleves! Yvory, black, red, blue,… silver…
The original paint was silver
So….. when Josep could see the original Silver after dissambling the interior carpet, he had a smile and thought, that ‘Black’ really deserved to become a Silver 911 again!!!! With the original Silver Glasurit code to match those metallic early tones…
The classic Targa bar comparing the original Silver interior:
The dash was sent to the upholstery shop to be restored
Here you can see the final combination chose by Josep. A Silver exterior paint, and the black/tan leather interior:
There is another problem: the engine cylinder heads needs to be replaced!!!
Bad luck…
The definitive color could be:
SILVER METALLIC GLASURIT 90-E ‘two compounds’.
Some pics from a ’71 911 in this color:
The same car in the cabin:
But finally Josep decided to change…… and here is the chosen: An old Silver used in the first Gmund 356 owned by Dr. Ing. Ferdinand Porsche:
(He renamed the car as ‘Silver Black? Ha ha)
Some more pics:
The cylinder head ready
emember that this car is ‘Matching Numbers’!
And here, trying to place the Blaupunkt to check It was perfect to match into its space.
The car going to receive a sandblasted process:
Come on Black!!!
3 pics of sandblasting:
Josep shared these pics of nude ‘Black’:
After dissambling, dismantling, cleaning, sandblasting, etc, the car was ready to go back to the repair bodyshop.
There is only a small rust focus, that will be repaired with a new panel welded.
Look at the driver’s door how it looks after an old bad repairing job.
More pics (gearbox and engine):
Josep is enjoying every detail and is living the whole process as a part of his life!
Here’s ‘Black’ in the repair shop: (It was ready to receive the first prime)
e engine looks very very pretty!!
Original decals and cloth!
A 55 year-experienced bodyrepair worker!! He came to solve some minor problems reservated to very skill experts.
In the mechanic specialist, the 2.2 flat 6 is going on!!!
The shell and the rest of body panels were totally repaired:
The rear engine lid in perfect condition:
Look at the body throttles restoration. Awesome pictures!!!!!:
Josep found an original engine lid interior decals set (he found an OEM tool kit too):
(The rear grill was too damaged to be restored, so Josep decided to go for a new one)
The next days the schedule will be:
- underbody gravel protection, bonet interior, and floor
- interior area paint
- engine lid, and front hood adjustment
- front and rear windshield installation
Look at the bodyshell: if you could touch it you’d see It was so soft…
In this special image you can appreciate all the different color layers since bare metal to the last ‘Black’ one, … you could imagine how this shell suffered among its life…
Josep is a very exigent guy. He likes to check and have the total control of every little detail and minimun aspect of what he is doing. It’s the only way to have success. He is trying to have direct contact to every specialist involved in the restoration. To organize them and don’t past the deadlines is a delicate task.
Here you can see some pictures about the meetings with the specialist.
And below is the upholsterer:
The core, closer to be finished
Black begins to appear as a new car:
This is Erik
He was doing an excellent restoration job, artistic, recovering early aspects, cleaning the parts up, detailing, etc
We left a throttle bodies part left to be restored. Look at the pictures before and after:
Historic details were sandblasted
As he told in former messages, a new Fuchs set was coming. He purchased them to a spanish Porsche rallye champion legend: Antonio Zanini
They had an interesting appointment and Josep was very pleased to receive several advices from this fantastic Porsche expert.
