I think the side mirror is the only item that is not correct which is an easy fix Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hi Rod - this is my car for sale. It's 229 and was C23 (Aus DR) configured for delivery to PCGB, shipped in June 75 and delivered in late June that year to my father. It has the early style manual driver flag mirror which is original. According to Ryan's Turbo 3.0 there was three versions of the mirror for PCGB cars (excluding the Japan and chrome orders)- the durant mirror until the factory ran out of them Q2-3 '75, the manual flag mirror for rest of '75 and other region cars and the electric mirror from '76 onwards. However I have noticed something interesting - This car sat in the middle of that change - M423 maybe therefore meant a durant until they ran out of stock and then a manual flag for the rest of '75 PCGB cars - however a C23 car (even being delivered via PCGB) superseded the durant and received the manual flag mirror while they might have had some durant mirrors remaining. So this might have been an unusual situation where the 228 car (normal UK RHD Blue Tartan) might have received a Durant and the 229 car (tourist delivery via PCGB was C23 and received the manual flag even though they were being built next to each other. Still trying to figure this out and it is not explicit in Ryan's book but I am interpolating his information.
I'm two years into my restoration and appreciate the wealth of information that I've found in this thread! I've put together a website of the process so far...still have a long way to go! Feedback on the restoration or the site is always welcome - www.chassis106.com
Mostly original 1977 in PTS "Park Avenue Gray". It has a few mods including a period correct aftermarket Porsche MOMO steering wheel, Euro rear bumpers, and Euro short headlamp rings. I'm slowly getting it back to original again having just completed refurbishing the original steering wheel but have not yet installed it.

Hi folks. I'm at an exciting milestone in my restoration of a 75 930, chassis 106. Getting ready to bring it back to Ice Green Metallic. If anyone has tips, links or guides on the restoration paint process, I would appreciate your expertise. I don't want to over-paint the car and would like to follow the original process as much as possible. I have Ryan's book but I'm looking for anything else to watch out for. Thanks.
Nice! Is that steering wheel a smaller diameter than the original? I find with the stock wheel, there isn't enough clearance for me to put it into reverse, and probably not even enough for first. I have a smaller Momo wheel which works pretty well, although it is not as cool looking as that one.
You stumped me on the size difference. The MOMO is a Ferry Porsche period correct aftermarket but I'm not sure what size it is compared to the original. It doesn't interfere at all with the shifter. I haven't had the original on since I bought the car. The car is at the shop for awhile but after I get it back, I'll take some measurements. I just got the original recovered and it is going back on . I do like the Momo but I plan on showing the car at the Concours in the original non-restored class.
My problem with clearance is related to me being 6'4"... I showed mine at Forest Grove this summer, with the Momo wheel mounted and the original wheel sitting in the passenger seat.
Haha. Yes, that would make you have to scrunch. I live near Astoria and will also be showing in Forest Grove. Dad had a 47 Cadillac and a 48 Lincoln Continental we showed there back in the 90's. I haven't been back since.
Hello all, Quick question in relation to the rear brake protective plates on the early 930 (Part number 930 353 801 02). They are no longer available for the car and I was wondering if anyone might know where a set would be available or has had any success modifying 911 or the later 3.3 930 plates to fit? I am restoring my car - 1976 930 and currently refurbing the front/rear suspensions. Thanks! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi CFD, it looks like Sierra Madre has aftermarket available. I also see them available on Ebay. https://sierramadrecollection.com/products/rear-brake-protective-plate-911-930-69-89 https://www.ebay.com/itm/204949728073
That's definitely not the right one. They write 69 to 89, but even on the 911, the part changed for MY74. 930 from 75 to 77 has another one, and the 3.3 Turbo yet aonther one. Only known way to get one for me was to weld laser-cut pieces to the 911 part (74-89 MY). I can make pics, if someone is interested.
You might want to chat with the people at Sierra or Pelican. I have found both to be extremely helpful when this comes up for multiple models.
Yes, unfortunately not. Its a different part number quoted as well. I did try 911 ones on it previously when changing a rear wheel bearing and I had it all apart. Now that I am undergoing the complete restoration I am back on the hunt for the plates. If you could make some images that would be super. The trailing arms have just been vapour blasted, ready to assemble everything now, and I can see where the mounting locations are shared with the handbrake shoes support plate, and some images to see what you did would be very helpful.
Yes, will do. Have sourced some parts on Pelican for the gearbox rebuild previously, and they were very helpful certainly.
This is a picture of the car back in 1976. It was originally a Porsche Cars Great Britain supplied car, used for testing by the car magazines at the time and is featured in a number of books over the years. The car came up for sale in 2010 in Germany, and that's where I purchased it. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here are some images. On the first You can see a normal shield from a 911 74-89, still available from Porsche and aftermarket. On the right one original and one modified for 930 '75-'77. On the third pic are the laser-cut pieces we used for the modification. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
