Interesting project!
Will you take it back to SC body/wheels spec?

I did my rough 1973 coupe in 1988/89 and it was worse than that then!
Be great when you get going. If DIY then it will be very rewarding, just will have to get a lot worse to get much better!
I still have my '73, now with a 3.2 engine in it and all the repairs done (DIY) are still sound about 70k / 35 years later.
Keep it and reap what you sow.
Keep the updates coming along.

So a good weekend stripping 
very productive and so many boxes of bits, as you can imagine I have an extensive list of parts required, so time to get researching and using my best contacts, i have restored numerous motorcycles right down to a Raleigh chopper but not a car.
looking forward to this journey and hopefully will end in good news.

Great to hear you also had the challenge, and gives me inspiration if yours was even worse, will keep the thread updated as long as the finance lets me.

Take a look at these 2 threads, both SC targas
www.impactbumpers.com
Targa time
Doing a Targa this time. Pretty bad state body work wise but nothing new really. Bumper and wings being removed Bumper mounts missing on one side and rotted out on the other so made new panels and added new mounts And the other side... Inner wing repairs... Side repeater harness holes removed... ...

Ref old parts you may need:
You might find the wheels and steering wheel on:
www.ddk-online.com and Impact bumpers.
DDK has a healthy Sale/Wanted section on the forum.
A set of 6" Cookies and 7" also were for sale recently on DDK, the 6" wheels were fully painted, ready for tyres.
Cookies are now quite an unusual wheel on an early 911, so nice to be different, and probably original to your car year?

I have a set of original cookie cutters (dated 1979 I think) that may not go back on mine as I‘m currently sporting Fuchs. If you are still looking when you are putting back together I should have made my mind up by then.
Which steering wheel is correct for an ‘81? There is a steering wheel in my frunk that was supposed to be the original for mine (I’m using a momo prototipo at the moment) but I think the ’78 and ‘79 had a different steering wheel to the ’80 onwards. Although from what I vaguely remember reading the one I have isn’t right for mine so it might be right for yours.
Any authenticity experts out there care to chime in?
