Big day for my GT project.
Getting a combination soda blast and garnet blast on my bare chassis and all the removable panels. The baking soda is used to remove paint and is suitable for the body panels. The garnet is much more course and removes surface rust on the undersides. I hope I did enough to keep it out of the longs and all the other cavities. Fingers crossed. Attached image(s) |

Some update pics and a question.
The white color offered in 1970 for a 914 was L80E, (or 11 for a 914 6 ) On our site color chart the name is Elfinbein. Is that right ? As I recall the early cars are a real white but Elfinbein is a very light ivory color. I'm looking for info from original early white color cars. Any help is appreciated. PS my doors are not fully adjusted yet. Attached image(s) |

PS my doors are not fully adjusted yet. Great work so far, very impressive. If you want to see what your car would look like in light Ivory check out the 916-6 GT conversion currently on Bring A trailer. It will provide inspiration. Keep it up! |

The day the paint was done that car showed up ! they're both '75s too. It made me feel very good about my choice of color . I hope to have results almost as good. |
