Any suggestions on how to save it or am I just screwed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) ?
  Well it looks like crap but better than painted over. |

Definitely would want to score around the plate all the way down through the primer, otherwise it's going to pull all the new paint and probably the old paint off the door jamb when the plate is taken off.

Remove the speaker grill and they can be tapped out from the backside. Andy just went through this. You can reuse the pins. Click Here  |

QUOTE(gms @ Mar 9 2013, 11:31 AM) Karmann Numbers were not stamped into the -6 I'm glad you said it Glenn. Never saw one stamped. Would have been a nice touch. I guess Karmann wasn't too proud of them. BMW CSs are Karmann bodys too and whey rust equally well. Almost as mysterious as no records of transmission numbers. I must say it does look good when the blank space is filled. |
