Here's one of my distractions that's been taking up time that I should be using to finish my engine build. I picked up a set of front struts and brakes from a 1972 911T for a 5-lug conversion. Here's my progress up to this point..
Struts: Bead blasted, just primed one tonight... Will be painted satin black. Attached thumbnail(s)

Hey thats cool ! Are they boge shocks? I have a 1971 T front end on my car too and am looking for new shocks as well. I want to get some Koni's for it. Looking good and those calipers are really well done too. Hope to see some pictures later on. Cheers

I've got Bilstein inserts in my car now, and since these 911 struts are the later style, I believe my current inserts will fit these, which is nice, as it will save me about $300. |
