There has been some prior discussion about the name written on the dash frame. The color in German IIRC...

Looking fantastic Andy!

Well I found an amazing set of heat exchangers after buying a few plus the set that came with the car. First pics is what came with the car and will be selling off. Repairable but rough with prior patch work

... Do they have to split the clam shells to blast prior to ceramic coat?

Might check with Marty at MSDS about who he uses for coating.
Good score on the exchangers, wish I knew of a good set, so I just went with headers

Took a break from the harness repair and worked on the light buckets. I'm going to try and wrap up the harness tomorrow and start feeding it in.

Your project looks great! Love the color!

When I found some used heat exchangers that looked about like yours, I did have Jet-Hot coat them, and it has head up quite well. They did sandblast them, and found another few little spots where the outer envelopes were getting thin, but were able to get them patched before coating them. Didn't have to split the outer envelopes to get the coating done.

However, given their age, even though they look great, I do carry a CO detector in the storage bin under the dash just in case.

Got a few more things done today. Disassembled rear turn signal buckets, cleaned and on, installed mirrors and shrink rapped all the wire harness support tabs.

In my parts hunting I came across a red engine lid from a factory -6 that still had the foil decals on it. I removed them as carefully as possible and cleaned off the old adhesive.

I installed them tonight, you can see some waves in the aluminum but that's as good as its gonna get I think. I prefer the originals over the re-pops, What do you guys think? Pass or fail (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

As long as you have the provenance trail of these decals and the same on your car, it would be similar to a repair done by a certified dealer or after sales service provider.

That's based on old Pontiac concours, not Porsches...

I'd rather see slightly wavy originals vs repops (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
