I put new ball joints on my steering members yesterday I did the string and tape measure method with the front end up in the air and found center on the steering box first I Have eibach springs with bilstein sports its is adjusted to 1/8 inch tow out and it still pulls right I would like to learn how to do this myself, but don't know where to go from here thanks, chet
  2. I have a 71' 2002 my dad has a 70' 911T we stripped the paint ourselves and I seem to remember it having galvanization. either way I guess try to look out for the head light buckets in addition to the battery trays and spare tire well. and everyone is correct on parts there are map holders that bolt into the door panels that sell for well over $1000 a pair and recaro seats are going to be at least 2500 if you are lucky we have seen them for as much as $10,000 a blast to drive beautiful to listen to good luck finding one you like the car pictured is the current state of our 911, it looks darker in person I had a 914 as well, it was a blast but is missing that oomph when you punch it, and it doesn't have the sound of a 911

  5. if its the intake, the bolts on the bottom of the intakes on the head are difficult to get to cut an open ended wrench in half (12 mm I think) and shave down the outside of the crescent section of the wrench to fit around the nut takes some time have fun!

  9. that does help for decreasing weight and increasing strength on the frame rails what I am looking for is like a gusset plate, or a piece of box tubing that would go inside the engine compartment and would join the firewall, the frame rail, and the rear section of the engine compartment wall. if anyone has done this and has pics I would love to see them. thanks, chet p.s. if anyone has any other body strengthening mod pictures I would love to see them, thanks again
  10. Draco and I are thinking of reinforcing our front frame rails. we were thinking of using some stout rectangular tubing welded between the firewall, frame rail, and wall in the engine compartment. does anyone have any pictures of cars with this mod. thanks, chet
