I thought I would share a couple photos of a 911 I have been working on. It came to me with 10 very bad paint jobs, very poorly repaired crash damage and fist sized rust holes in the fenders, rockers and left door jamb. It's far from finished. But at least I now have paint on the doors and shell.

Quality work there rick. You're going to be a busy guy if and when you relocate.

Ratchet strap, floor anchors and lots of fear! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) There's about 100 psi on that strap. it's tight!  |

I'm not looking forward to this job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I had 3 pro glass installers chicken out and cancel when they saw the glass. I was really pissed as waiting for them to show slowed the progress on the car by a week and a half. Only way to get it done is to do it yourself. No one will touch a targa glass. The second trick is to use para cord and double rope it. The first pass may leave a place where the seal didn't climb the lip. |
