My two cents worth: screw the seam sealer, it is nasty stuff and traps water to form new rust. See pictures of the seam sealer I removed that looked good on the outside and was rusting at the seam on my "Restoration Part Trois" thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

What color and brand of paint? base / clear or single stage? How are you going to restore the seam sealer, did you take or have before shots of factory original?


I'm assuming the paint will end up being some kind of PPG product since the primer is PPG DP40 (according to PPG's web site: D834 DP40 , a chromate-free epoxy primer which provides a high degree of adhesion both to bare metal and a wide range of plastics.) But I need to get the painter (dlpenserini, aka Brandon) to have a look at this thread. In fact I need to talk to him directly. He and MarkD are doing the rust/body/paint work. The color will be the factory color for the car, tangerine. As for the seam sealer, not sure yet what will happen there.

As for before pictures, go backwards in this thread. It's loaded with 'em.

Mike,

This is 914-porn at its best. The progress is wonderful! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) The pics are excellent and I'm sure will be motivating to more than just me!

Best,

kim.

Drool drool DROOL. God it's amazing to think of that tube as being a totally complete rust free 914/6 considering it's beginnings as such a rust bucket with body damage. It's gona be beautiful and deffinatly worth the wait! This project has always kept my intrestet, it's great to see it nearing body completion! Congrats Gint!. By the way, what color? Are you gona go stock with the orange, or something totally different?

Heh -- I'm sure I"m not alone on this -- I look forward to the coming out party (or at least really great pics of it) whenever it is!

But in the mean time, you've clearly made some solid progress!

Hi everyone. New to the board. I have been following the progress and am really impressed.

"I wish I could find the cowl corner replacement pics."

I am going to need to replace mine also. Did you ever find those pics? I would really like to see them if you can find them.

It's amazing how two cars can have similar "challenges".

Mine is almost a copy, but unfortunately I haven't worked on it for one complete year.
Built my own house (larger garage), got married, and expecting a kid.

I must congratulate you on the great work you've done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

You're an inspiration for those days when I almost want to sell the project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Thanks !!!

restore2seater

Troy (the body man) has them custom made. He replaced both on my car. I can check to see if he has any extra stock

gint

Fender is on... looks great. I tried to take pics with a "real" camera but mine kept giving me a system error. I think it's just a low battery issue. Floor is out and the new one is going in today. Everything looks really clean.

I helped Troy upload that zip file so, the pics are from the same bad camera (just not great in low light) but they're 800 by 640 or something like that.

I'll try to get some shots nmaybe later today once the floor is in.
