New 535is rust parts

Post by stubble88 »

Yay! Found a CA 535is. Got it for $2250. Runs amazing. Top end was rebuilt. Shifts great.
But at that price and live in Lompoc since 1994 you can imagine what I’m finding. Rust!! I knew it. But at that price I had to.
So where can I find sheet metal for replacement? I had a 68 porsche and there were multiple sites. I know the 911 is a lot more common and popular. But I can’t find a good place that makes sheet metal for our cars.

The only place I know of that makes parts is Valcas Garage in Lithuania. I recently ordered full front floor pans and they they arrived in the states quickly and are very nice.

Yeah. Thanks. I saw them. Can’t find the windshield lower corners though. And rear windshield lower corners. Maybe I missed it.

He doesn’t make those items. You’re going to have to find a donor car.
