1971 911 Parts

[XKRacer]

Hi all

I have to price a restoration project on a 71 911 any recommendations for sourcing panels this side of the pond, the interturd is living up to its name! and giving me a hard time any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

It's been 18 years since I restored a pre impact 911, so things may have changed. Firstly, Porsche used to produce production runs of pre impact panels and if you missed a run, you could have a long wait. I managed to buy two new rear wings through the factory - IIRC about £800 each even then!

Not all tub parts are available in repair panels - kidney bowls and sill-associated parts are.

Watson Autoparts supplied a lot of my stuff - watch out for Danske panels - they don't all fit that well. I also bought parts at the Husbourne Crawley Autojumble

Don't underestimate the rot that might be lurking in the tub either and the overheads in sorting that out...same goes for any rot around the sunroof.
