Orange 75 project, Clutch and Shifter setup Options

[my928s4]

So a couple months back I posted about getting a hold of the project candidate,
feel like I have moved on from that so thought it I would post some pics on progress and I will add to this thread as time (and progress) goes on.

I did not get around to stripping the car down till earlier in the month as I drove my 928 down to Sharktoberfest in LA and I was performing last minute tinkering before the drive.

Anyway back to 914 subject matter, the good news is I have not found too many issues which is a relief and I can start to order parts and make some investment in tools. It is a perfect time of year for indoor projects as it is below freezing all the time now and skiing does not start here till after xmas.

Surface rust and dirt in the front trunk but that is about it, will need to repiar a couple of areas around the hood seal.

How many cans did you use to coat the underside? Do you plan on using this in the engine bay (I have seen it done recently or with LineX)?
Cheers!

Hi Mike, it took about one can for the area you see in the photo and at that point there was more left but the can is useless as the top is pretty much gummed up. Aim is to paint the engine bay.

I'll be doing the same with my project shortly, but I won't be using the rubberized product, as it appears to come off to easily for what I want-

Yep there are many solutions to work with, if I had the car on a rotisserie I would have gone another route. Also the car will be fair weather so I believe what I am doing should be good enough. Only time will tell.

why not apply a PVC coat and paint the underside and wheelhouses in carcolor ? (orange) ...

I am not yet decided on the wheel wells but some of the old undercoating is very well adhered which will mean undercoating again. I was originally hoping to have body color on the underside and wheel wells but looking at other projects I thought the undercoat looked good.
