Since the decision is made to make the car a complete racecar It's time to start gutting it out.

Rust repair on front suspension and gas tank support.
The front lower suspension pan is a pretty common rust spot on older 911's. Reason is from the battery not being sealed nor being in its own container and the acidic fumes and leaks eventually get through the protective layers. Mine was BAD for a '77 car (which should have been galvanized). Of course, you could rust plastic in Louisiana by putting it out in a field (where I found the car).
Brake Rebuild / Engine Tune up
rebuilt the factory calipers and also got the hard lines and some Stainless flexible lines while I was at it. Master cylinder is still good and got the brakes good enough to drive down the street.
Started the blog today. History
Hello, My name is Patrick Harris and I'm a car-o-holic. Ok maybe worse than some but I really enjoy taking someone's junk car and making it spectacular. I've built more than a few "awesome" cars by most people's standards and I hope you will enjoy the build of this Porsche 911.
