A few years ago, PCA used to send out a coupon for $100 to use at any Porsche dealer. I think that you had to spend at least $300 or $500 to redeem it. I called up Brumos, thinking that they would probably have the best hoard of parts in the country. I picked up one of these, some wheel bearings, and a few other trinkets. I remember ordering about 4 ballcaps to go over the minimum. As I recall, I paid about $200 for the dash, and it hasn't been out of the box to this day. Of course, I have a few stories where I was on the oposite side of the ledger, but those aren't as fun to remember.

Nice scores.

Mr postman delivers another find biggrin.gif so I have all the NOS sail and window trim for her!!

Nice stuff! Finding - and affording - these kinds of parts for a complete & correct restoration gets tougher with each passing year. I've almost convinced myself that I won't undertake another early car build or resto largely for this reason.

OK Now I am really envious. Where did you find the twin bulb euro turn signals in NOS???

Is that a NOS dash pad too, or just a recover?

Peter
Socalandy
I found them here on World wub.gif and the dash is NOS not recovered from Evilbay

Now who was it that sold the sail trim peices to me??? av-943.gif

I recieved my Certificate of Authenticity today and now know my engine case number!!! biggrin.gif

Now for the needle in the hay stack hunt for it. Please keep your eyes peeled!!! Thanks

Wow! Those are some sweet parts. I particularly like the turn signals and the dash top. Of course I would love to have the windshield and sail panel trim pieces too. I forgot how nice the fog light grills look when new. Hell ... I love it all. Best wishes with the restoration.
carr914
If that is indeed the correct number. COA's for our cars are notorious for being incorrect.

My car # is 673, The COA said my engine # was supposed to be 6404418, but it is actually 6404444

Socalandy
Thats not what I want to hear. + or - 20

Where did you get the sail panel trim? I may need a nicer set...

That's why I said the COA's are often incorrect. I ordered a COA (against my own advice) for #1724. It came in wrong on a bunch of things. I called and asked them to correct it. They said they could change a couple of things ( ie; the completion date, based on the Compliance sticker in the door jam), but couldn't change others. So I made a copy of the COA, then sent the original back for a full refund.

On the Carrera RS I had, the COA didn't even state it was a Carrera.

It is a nice piece of paper though, and I think you get a couple extra points in PCA Concours for having it.

I was asked to post pictures of what I have to work with. More when it gets moved into the garage. Time to get dirty welder.gif sawzall-smiley.gif
veltror
Do you want to swap , mine looks to be very similar to yours, right down to the missing rear wings....
carr914
Can I be the 1st to say " That'll Buff Out" biggrin.gif

and Veltror, that looks a lot nicer than what you and I started with.

If anyone has the patience to do it right, it will be Andy! It might take a super buffer, but it will be pristine when it is done!

Are you shooting for as many NOS parts as possible?

Car doesn't look like it has a rusty hell hole, what happened to the rear fenders
and trunk? Do you know the history of the car?

Good luck with it, I'd love a real six needing a resto.

John
Socalandy
Andy.... If the car looks familar then maybe you know more details about it? like where is the original engine case lol-2.gif

Yes, I plan on getting nothing but the best in the way of parts for this resto, Lots of pics and progress after the route 66 run aktion035.gif This is the way the car was when the seller bought it. Glad I have inventory from part cars!!!

finding parts is a fun part of the journey. the hunt continues, tell me what you got that I might need!!!!!

This is the hard part, Not knowing if the info is correct and it being hard to find mad.gif
McMark
Are you adding these parts to the Parts Vault? cool.gif
Socalandy
I can and will, I have alot of NOS parts with the P/N's on them. Maybe add some not aready listed!!! Thanks for telling me since I had'nt thunk of it
McMark
boldblue.gif THANK YOU!!! Lots of pictures would be best (back, underside, etc). The idea is that if someday we need to reproduce or repair something, we have a nice reference to get all the details as correct as possible.
