They're always worth doing! Just subscribed. I'll be doing my 77 911 later this year.

Nice filming! Like your workshop!

Good work but I believe you might regret reusing the seal. I'd also advise using a brass drift when knocking out the bearing race, as it's unlikely to do any damage to the bearing housing if you hit it.

The seal it self looked good. Someone else gave me a tip to take that spring that’s in the seal and cut a piece of it off and reconnect it. Giving it a tight fit for the seal. Time will tell if I’m wrong

@@ilias8010 Hi, I hope you're lucky, as it looks a lot of work to replace a seal costing a few bucks. If the seal is too tight it can eventually ruin the sealing surface, which then requires a sleeve or spray metalling & re machining. Porsche use good quality materials in general, so you probably won't have that problem, as long as the seal remains intact, but once it starts to wear, fine grit can get stuck and quite rapidly wear the surface, where the lip meets.
Anyway keep up the good work, it looks like you have a lot of bodywork to do. I thought MGB's rusted badly but there are a lot of early 911/912's on UA-cam with serious rust problems. At least with an MGB, mini, TR6 if it gets too bad you can reshell the car.

Thank you for the advice I appreciate it. Yeah the body work it’s self is a whole other level of the build. For now I just want to get it on the road and driving before I can think about body and paint.

Nice build and good work keep it up!

Could you share what you are using for black paint? Is it por or enamel spray?

[@ilias8010]

So I used a mix, for the control arms I used black gloss rustoleum and then I finish with POR15 top coat.
