Porsche 912 1971

This ealy 912 body arrives depainted and coated at our workshop. Also almost all defekt parts have been removed. So we can start the rebuild right away.

Almost ervery single body panel is available, so there is no need to rebuild panel. The quality is an issue. Many hours have to be spent on spare panels to get to a proper fit and finish.

Underbody

This 912 gets a komplete new underbody panel. All conecting flanges and parts need preparation in terms of repair or adjustment to ensure a proper fit and finish. After all that detail work the huge panel is tacked to the body. Final welding needs to wait for adaption on the Celette bench and a fit and finish check of all conneting panels and flanges.

Frond End Structure

On the front End almost all panes will be replaced by a new one: Floor panel, beams, reinforcements, front end of side panels, front end closing panel. Battery trays re replaced by simple closing panels, as this car will get a racing battery.

Engine Compartment

Both Cross Member and Rear End Beam will be replaced. The Cross Member is a version that allows the adaption of a rather modern suspension. Both parts are precicely positioned with the support of the Celette modules.

Replacing Pillars and Rockers

To position the A Pillar, a lot of panels and parts have to be assembled. Door window frame needs to be checked for matching the roof line and the body side outer. Also rocker reinforcement and rocker outer panel need to show a proper fit, to ensure perfect gaps after final welding. Turbo B Pillar reinforcements are used to increase the stiffness in that area. Resistant spot welding is used wherever possible.

Body Side Outer

The brand new body side outer panels will be cut back to fit the steel Turbo wings later on. A very precice position is achieved by assembly of the complete rear end including rear lamps and bumber for example. The wide wings are welded by WIG as a flat seam, which is the perfect preparation for a proper surface.
