History and Information |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
As found in 2004 and before restoration |
 |
|
Suspension is DKW with inboard drum
brakes with axles to the front hubs
|
Last engine in was an original 68
911S block # 4081533
|
|
Restoration begins Fall of 2005 |
We began by disassembling the car
|
Removal of the old roll bar was
necessary because the hoop had been cut so many
times.
|
the frame had been shortened and then
lengthened a few time throughout its life so it was
necessary to repair the frame and bring it back to
it original wheelbase.
|
After we had the 5 layers of paint
media blasted we were able to begin repairing and
strengthening the frame.
|
|
|
the rear suspension had to be brought
back to its original configuration. When we began
the car was set up with a 914 gearbox and an
interesting rear leading arm IRS suspension.
|
It is now set up with a 741 Porsche
transmission
|
The new single hoop roll bar,
steering hoop, and side bars are completed
|
It was necessary to replace the seat
cross rails.
|
|
|
When the car was original done it
used Porsche 356 A drums inboard and when we began
it had been changed over to VW Steel drums. We were
able to recreate the original front brake set up
from the photographs
|
As you can see it has a unique set up
with inboard drilled Porsche drums with axles out to
the hubs
|
Another view of the front suspension.
We had all of the front suspension components Crack
checked and it was all strengthened and rebuilt
|
The Drums are drilled to lighten them
up as well as allow them to cool better.
