1973 911 Targa Restoration Underway
One of the key questions to be answered when restoring a classic car is “Just how far do I go?” Do I want an immaculate concourse garage queen, or am I really looking for a classic weekend tourer. The team at NINEAUTO are working through these decisions together with customer and friend Clive Hammond as they restore his 73 911 Targa S.
Looking like it had seen better days, the white 73 Targa arrived at the NINEAUTO premises in Highett on the back of a
flatbed truck. The pre-galvanised body had succumbed to time and weather. Rust ate away at the door hinge panels, B pillars, kidney bowls and around the fuel filler flap. The original 2.4lt motor was long gone, and was replaced with a more powerful and torquey 3lt SC engine. Despite the replacement, the engine didn’t run and was worn out. Likewise the brakes, gearbox, shocks and suspension were also in desperate need of an overhaul.

NINEAUTO Website Relaunch
As with any new business finding the time to get everything in place the way you’d like can be a real challenge. But after a few late nights, and some help from a technically savvy friend we’re excited to relaunch our website.
We’ve now been operating from our new workshop for over 6 months, and thought the time was right to add some new ‘bells and whistles’ that make our site easier to find, and a bit more user friendly. You can now keep updated with all the latest NINEAUTO news by reading our regular posts and following us on Facebook.
Just a tip….. NINEAUTO uses the word ‘NINE’, unfortunately the search engines don’t seem to recognise the numeric version 9AUTO nearly as well!
