Porsche 911 2.2 T, Part 4: Coming Back Together

This is Part 4 of our Porsche 911 2.2 T restoration series. Missed Part 3? Read about the engine.

With the paint done and the engine built, the green shell came back to the workshop to be put back together.

Suspension and brakes

Every suspension part was refinished before going back on, the shock absorbers in matching green, and the brakes were rebuilt with new discs.

Wiring and fuel

Inside, the wiring went back in behind the dashboard. Up front, the fuel tank, filler neck and cap went back in place.

Engine in, exhaust on

The rebuilt engine went in, the rear bumpers went on, and a new stainless exhaust with heat exchangers finished the job underneath.

On its wheels

Then the wheels went on, and for the first time in a long time, the car stood on its own.

The seats have been retrimmed in black and are waiting to go in.

Where we are now

The interior is the next big job. We'll add the next part as soon as it's done, so check back for updates.
