Well new tires and wheels. Gone from 16 inch 8s and 9 911part # to 7 and 8s 15in 911 #

Seat has gone from perfect good-looking upholstery to the workshop for widening for my fat ass and then the specialty leather

The studs in the hubs where changed from longer ones that worked with the 7 in BBS that it came to me with, down to a shorter stock length. E says we have a lose stud hole that needs work or change to one new (used) hub.

Each step along the way even with NOS stock parts need a bit of love (money to clean up and rework). NOS Fuel pump had assembly lube that had become funky and needed to be cleaned up along with the contacts. It is each and every part in this car that is getting love to make it like a brand new car. Well almost the wiring is old but in great shape but still needed some love from PMB.

Covered and in a covered environment from 86 on. Made this car a great one to restore.

In the last 12 years we have seen the price of 6s go ape shit. Glade I got #41 then.

Not sure. I told E to get the right tires for me. I see they are Go, Go, Goodrich TA radials. The back wheel does not look much different that the fronts. They looked very different on the floor of my shop. One 6, 2- 7s and 2- 8s

Eric,

Can you post the Facebook posting here on the rear left hub story? It would be fitting for this build thread.

Thanks,

Bob

I’m liking the bigger tires these days. Great retro look.

So, Eric and I decided to go with refinished 7 and 8 16s in RS finish. Going to sell the fresh polished ones on there now. I am going to a 16’ x 6 RS finish for the spare and it is being done now to match. I have a primo Space Saver in 16 inch to go on it.

Eric says things are going to move forward on 41 in a couple of weeks.

It takes a long time to get a car like this done like it is brand new.

Back at it at PMB. E is looking for bushings for the headlights that are new. There was a member that had them several years ago when there were guys doing the hand flip up headlight kits. We cannot seem to find him or them. Any help would make us happy.

To say that I am itchy to get my car is an understatement.

My 6 x 16 with RS finish that just got in from Rick @Fuchs Restoration. I bought a super clean 16 in space saver. I could not find any more off of a rim. I guess these are not made anymore.

All the wheels off to PMB for more magic.

Well moving along with #41. Headlights are LED. E will find some sticky tires for my fresh RS finished 7in and 8in 16inch and we are looking for a buyer for 15” 7 and 8 fresh polished finish plus the 15 x 6 spare with same polished finish.

Bumpers are ready to go on and I am hearing talk of starting the Eng. Up. Interior up next. Getting cork leather weave for centers of seats and center of dash. Leather all over.
(Singer like) More pictures coming!!

Your car is a beauty, what a great look !
Please tell about mounting the space saver.
My efforts to mount a beautiful 14" resulted in a scratched wheel and a ruined tire.
Like you I've switched to 16" wheels and would like to do the same with a 16"
space saver.
TIA
Rory
