Friend of mine is restoring a '76 911 targa. We stripped if for a complete repaint, interior refresh amd a new engine. NONE of the exterior electrical parts have plugs. All off the marker and signal lights, side mirrors, etc have to be cut or remove the whole wiring harness from the switches and fusebox. We chose to cut and solder them on reassembly.
The huge rounded back window is held in with a molded gasket. The wires for the rear defrost are ran through and inside of the rear gasket. And then have to be connected to the spade terminals on the edge of the glass. Extreme caution is needed to not break the terminals, unplug them, cut the gasket, or bust the glass.
He also bought a Porsche 944 turbo. Pain in the *** to work on. We had to replace a power steering line that was extremely tight to access. One of the bolts holding a hose bracket on went into a water jacket on the block/timing cover. That was a nice surprise and a quick scramble to reinstall the bolt and get a drain pan.
