I'm starting with the brakes, knowing that once its drivable, I'll be too temped to take it out for a spin. So, what I've found so far: I did a full brake job 39k miles ago in the '70's and since then, the aluminum cups in the slave cylinders were completely corroded and frozen in place, so I'm doing all new cylinders. The front king pins and link pin bushings were rebuilt back then also. I just found that the shop that did them did a nice job on the king pins but used the old link pins in new bushings, which are now sloppy, so new link pins and bushings.
What I've learned:
A few missing spec's: I had to beat the bushes to find the torque for the old style front wheel bearing jam nuts, it's 51 ft-lb. Please don't flame me, in the mechanical engineering world, foot-pounds is for nuts and bolts, pound-feet is for power transmission, and for structural design torsion and bending moment.
According to Samba, the tie-rod castellated nut is 22 ft-lb plus a skosh more to line up the cotter pin
As I previously posted, Porsche does not give a runout tolerance for brake drums. What I later found is .010" is generally accepted for other makes with similar diameter drums.
Beyond that, I'm grateful there are more supporting vendors which provide way more parts than ever existed a few decades ago, and for all the talented members of this forum who willing share their tremendous depth of knowledge and expertise -- too many to mention.
Cheers, and KTF! Hopefully I'll get her drivable before the wife and kids stick me in a rest home
