I always look online for what they are selling on pelican prior to buying. The pedal assemble is pretty sweet.....
Photos of the pedal assembly, bumper (that need some sheet metal work) looks ugly but it's not bad, and the new suspension pan.
I do have to give a shout out to AIR Automotive Innovations and Restorations. They worked on BB2 Jack Olsens car. Real nice guys. George the guy who sold me the roller has been helping me source new metal and dolling out advice on a as needed basis....which is often. Nice group of guys.
It's kinda crazy how going back old school Porsche really brings out the Porsche Nuts..... not the modders, or tuners. But out right Porsche nuts who's heads still have marks in the their crowns from birthing from an intake manifold.
Not much work is going to happen this weekend, Soccer/Referee training Saturday including uniform pick up. OMG I'm the coach for the kids soccer team. Talk about REAL pressure!

I've squeezed a couple ducks ***. I didn't want to grill him. He wasn't really selling it (wife pressure). And he's got a crap load of stuff I want that he's selling. I just dont need it now. But yes, I squeeze hard....ducks don't like me.

Hahahahah! First stupid mistake! So I finally had time to look at the box that the welder came in.............. Wrong welder. [DS]Face palm[/DS] Already in the return process.
Well it's the weekend and I have a lot of grinding to do..... Also, so what's the best primer? Are their grades of primer? I don't want to leave the metal bare for too long.
Saturday is Soccer stuff for the kids, Sunday is car day....

You might go through a few welding tips. Wear a good full face helmet, buy some welder's eye drops. If you can get a 220 to work, then great. But a lot of people feel safer w 110. I would reccomend a night course in welding at the local adult vocational college. Very fun, usually about 2weeks and worth it.

Don't give up, check out what my friend's doing to a 73 Targa. Great story and will be a unreal car. One of those "money is no object" projects http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...ars-later.html
The pictures of the red car is what it looked like about eight months ago. It will soon look the day it left the factory

In all honesty there's not much rust. Just enough to justify a welder!

This weekend, after the fog cleared from the Saturday party (partial reason why on Sunday when I asked Clayton who rang the door and he said, "A salesman", I replied, "Oh whatever don't bother"....Little did I know it was Ed Hughes. Which makes me feel like an ***.)
Well I removed the right trailing arm. Both rear calipers and ground the front bumper to look for rust. Not a lot done but it was some. Almost had all the rotors off but I needed an impact screw driver (yay more tools!) and two M8 bolts to push the rotors off. Which I did today after work and the oil change on the Audi.
I also need to get a tierod puller, I'll buy one when I order some of that Wurth self etching primer from Pelican.
One question. In the first photo I have those anchor points in the vent windows, what are those for fog lights? I'm thinking of cutting them out for ducting for an oil cooler.
