Side tracked this weekend.. Had to finish painting my son's 944. Turned out pretty nice.. 1 spot had a little run but should be able to wet sand it out or I will spot it in..


Looks great Ben.

Can I ask what paint and spray equipment?

We used Ppg shopline for base and clear.. I use a 60 gallon sanborn air compressor and then a Sata jet for primer gun and ironically I bought the devilbiss starting line paint guns.. Use them for my base and clear guns.. They work very good.

For my car I will use the same base but a high end clear..

No pictures to add as we have really focused on the 944 and finishing the head gasket on the civic.. I changed the oil on the civic yesterday and took it for a test run.. It's now ready to sell. The 944 rear brake hoses were next. I changed the soft lines then had to splice a repair steel line in.. Now gotta fix the wires that run back to the hubs.. There is about 6 wires per side.. No idea why..


Then back to the 914.. I have been working on prepping the engine bay for paint. This is a monumental task as there are so many little hard to reach areas.. I have spent about 5 hours in the last 3 days with air and power tools removing paint and any surface rust.. I probably have another 3 or 4 till it's ready..


Next built some oil tanks and also my bumpers have been keeping me busy. I bought 3 cores to do the GT conversion to.. This will help with clients looking to not cut up an orginal..

Can't wait to see your modifications to make this work in the 914 chassis.

Oh THAT's what that is. I didn't want to ask and look stupid so I opted for just looking stupid. So what's the advantage of this one?

@bbrock it allows me to have a left hand ignition like a real 914-6 or 911.

Today we are -45/-65 windchill.. I spent a little time masking /priming, raptor liner seam sealing. I got a little crazy with the last part.. Wanted to get raptor liner on the areas that water could sit.. Still like the Monstaliner better for underneath but the raptorliner is a great seam sealer..
