Any help would be appreciated will update pictures on here as I go. am new to restoration. cheers G Attached Image(s) Quote Reply #1 7 Replies

I can also let you have a contact for you to get the KARDEX (original build spec) for your car. I'm also restoring a 1969 911T and have an SC Targa! Regards Barry Quote Reply #3

Good luck with your project ( I'm currently restoring a 911 2.0 litre E ) Nick Quote Reply #4

But since it won't be the original engine, you might as well put something fun in there. Probably the best, most readily available driver's engine for this car is a circa 1988 3.2 Carrera engine. You can get one (untested) for £10k - £15k. That will give you 230 horsepower and great performance and reliability. Mated with the Getrag gearbox it's a very nice combination. 2001 Lapis Blue 996 Turbo 1970 Signal Orange 911T (currently in silver with whale tail) 1988 Black 3.2 restomod Quote Reply #5

We visited him at Westcott, North of Aylesbury some time ago when they had imported a large number of air cooled engines and other associated parts. You might find something suitable there.

The car is LH drive and is a European car imported to the UK in 1977 so is on a 77 "R" plate. I have the VIN number which is a 1969 and the engine number which is a 1970 2.2 so I am guessing she is a very late 69 or early 70 crossover. I have no other information on the car so any advice/help would be gratefully received. Richard Quote Reply #7
