(IMG:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tdsmoonchild/porsche001sm.jpg)Inspired by all of you, and especially the "turtle girl build," I rented a shop and I'm starting my resto! I have a 1972 1.7L. I bought it about 5 years ago, also bought a '71 parts car. Drove the '72 home, barely.
Pulled the parts car home with a trailer. Parted out all the good parts on the '71. Dropped the engine and tranny, then lost my garage, along with my house, children, furniture, and half my money to my ex-wife. I moved the car and parts, but they have sat undisturbed ever since.

I found this club and it has really rekindled my interest in my car. So I rented a shop, moved the car and parts, and now I'm ready to get started! The "turtle-girl build" thread really got me going. Thanks alot! I am going to try and document my build along the way also. I hope you will all follow along as I will be needing plenty of advice.

And this is just the rust you can see on the outside. The PO did a "resto" before I got it. I think he must of just painted over rust. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Take pictures of what it looks like now.

6 months from now, as it is on Jackstands and you are fighting for motiviation to drive to the shop and work on it (assuming that the place you rented is not at your home) those pictures _will_ motivate you.

They motivate me, when I am finding excuses not to go out to the garage.

It is a fun hobby, and an excellent way to take your mind off all the other stuff going around you.

Best of luck, and (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welcome.png)

Just boggles me to see that someone spent all that time taking the interior out (seats, carpet, dash, everything) only to leave all that rust under the tar, and to fiberglass and paint over the rust that he could see.(IMG:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tdsmoonchild/porsche013.jpg)

Has anyone seen a repair like this?

(IMG:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tdsmoonchild/porsche037.jpg)

(IMG:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tdsmoonchild/porsche034.jpg)

Should I take it out and try and fix it the right way?

Those are later winder mechanisms transplanted into early doors. Interesting method. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

It seems to be strong and to work well. The windows rolled up and down real easy. Think I should change it or leave it. It's so ugly that it's hard to turn a blind eye to!
