Strut housings and suspension finishing
Refreshed front strut housings and insert fitting, plus the completed rear suspension and brake work. The calipers are retained.
Read along.
0:00We're back on the 1973 metallic green. This is a 911 S from Europe. This thing is more
0:10and more and more amazing to us. I mean it's it's a quote-unquote high mileage car
0:16in that it has about a hundred and five thousand miles but you can see we've
0:23refreshed these strut housings.
0:27We're redoing the inserts, bushings, drop links.
0:32We've already done the rears, a brand new braking system,
0:37except for the calipers.
0:39And we're very close to putting this thing back together
0:43and beginning to test.
0:45She's just beautiful.
0:47We sort of fall in love every day with this color.
Photographs from this film.
At the front corner
Work at the open wheel well brings the steering and suspension within easy reach.
Parts within reach
The exposed front suspension sits above a small collection of parts laid out on the lift arm.
Front brake and strut
The wheel is off, revealing the front brake disc and red strut against the green wheel arch.
Room to work
Behind the rear seats, the empty compartment awaits the flat-six. The open lid frames a view normally filled by the engine and its air cleaner.
