I'm now a 348 Owner

Hey everyone my name is Trevor and I just picked up a 348 last weekend. Or should I say I took delivery of my 348 last weekend. I had a 911SC project for about 6 years and was collecting parts for it. Worked on it one time and decided there was other avenues I could take. Sold off the car, the engine, a couple transmissions I had and was able to turn it into a running driving 1990 348 TS. Its a bit of a project, more so than was lead to believe but I am still very excited and pleased with my transition non the less. Looking forward to cleaning it, greasing it, lubing it, loving it, and getting it back up to the state it deserves to be at. Will hopefully be leaning on the community here to find a few parts and gain knowledge and advice.
Cheers

Thanks everyone. First thing I will be tackling is the brakes. They are currently not being assisted by power. Plan is to check all the fuses and relays, make sure the pump is working, replace all the fluid and hopefully not have to change out a pump. Next up will be removing the shifter cables and giving them a good cleaning/lubing. In the next few weeks I'll order some new belts, plugs, filters etc and over the winter drop the motor and give it a good once over. I'm in Michigan so we have lots of time without driving fun cars to do work. Everything in the interior will slowly be removed, cleaned and freshened up.

 

Unfortunately no, its powered by the ABS pump. Teves mark II unit. Engine vacuum would be much more simple.

 

Yes exactly, not difficult but can get very expensive. Almost identical units can be found in the jag xj6 and xj12 and can buy them for $200 used. Used Ferrari about $1,200

 

Thanks guys, I am very happy to have acquired this car and be its caretaker. It will be enjoyed.

 

Exactly how I am feeling. Saw a 911sc sunday, the same car I just sold and very happy with going this route. I cant imagine spending the time and extra money to build that car how I wanted to now knowing I have this car for the money I made in just the roller and parts.

 

I have finally gotten to start working on the 348. I have another car that I wanted to get a fab project wrapped up on and driveable before I started working on this. First thing I did was start to look into the brake issue and lack of a brake pump operation. This car had a stereo install from who knows how long ago. I'm guessing the 90's based on the tape deck head unit. Removed the amp, CD changer, and all wiring out of the trunk area.

While checking the fuses and relays (that were not attached to their pegs) I noticed this plug that seemed to have no home. Does anyone know what this plug goes to?

While checking all the wiring for the brake system, I have found there is power going to the pump, but the pump is not turning on. I've done a bunch of research on these pumps but cant figure out how to test the pressure switch and the pump individually, but certain its one of the 2 that is the issue.

 

This guy just did not take car of this car, It's dirty, everywhere, and needs some serious paint TLC. Along with that, the previous owner must have hit his driveway approach too fast or a big pot hole while turning and caught the lip of the front fender pulling it out. With a fender roller and some specialty hammers for what it was I got that thing back in shape and looking real good. Minor face deflection left but only a really trained eye would notice and I will work it a bit more when I go to paint it. I was trying to save as much paint as possible.
