So I had the week off between Christmas and New Years, and I planned to get a lot of work done on the Porsche. So for the second time I’ve taken time out to work on this project, I got sick during the days I was going to work on it. What a drag. Well, I did go to the store and got an upgrade kit for my welder so that I can MIG weld with gas instead of just the flux core that I have been using for projects around the house. This will make for much better looking welds on the car. I also got a portable sand blaster and some sand to remove some of the rust I’ve found after removing some of the components from the car. I’ll wire wheel it first and then use the sand blaster to get into the corners, and then I also bought some Rust Doctor to neutralize the rust before applying the Rustolium Primer.
I also ordered a tow bar bracket to put on the car for when I need to take it to specialty shops for drive shafts and other items. I also ordered the motor and gearbox “cradle” that I will be modifying to use with my drive-train. The one I ordered is for a Subaru conversion, but it will work really well as a starting point for my conversion. It should save me a lot of time, as well as now I don’t have to build a temporary unit and have a shop custom build off my temp jig.
So even though not much happened on the car itself, I got a lot done in the way of ordering parts and such.
