QUOTE Keep the pictures coming, please. I want to see how some of that deep rust is taken care of. It will be taken care of with a complete quarter panel. Including the trunk wall, the entire rear long and inner fender and engine shelf up through the firewall and into the cockpit with a portion of the floor pan. |

QUOTE(brant @ Apr 16 2003, 06:49 PM) Douglas, now I feel bad... sorry about the rust.. [QUOTE] Just to clarify, no one should feel bad. There is no structural rust I am aware of. Brad, can you confirm? In any case, I appreciate your help in the purchase, Brant. There's no way I could have made it out to Colorado and, as I've said, I'm happy with the car. Brad, So the rear brakes lock up, right? So my brakes suck, but you can make them rule. Thanks for looking into it. And, Ginter, Interesting photos. Can't wait to see the progress. Douglas |

So, Mike, what are we seeing here with the paint? It looks like an orange re-spray over red paint or just a weird camera side effect.

It's just wierd light. The car did receive a paint job sometime in it's life in the original color (although it appears to be laquer). They only painted the outside of the car. Jambs and trunks are all still factory paint.
Near as I can tell anyway.... |

Damn I love tools. The right tool makes all the difference. I was chipping away at undercoating, paint and rust with a putty knife. I went to the unmolested donor car and realized that I was hacking away at seam sealer. I remembered a Pelican post where the guy used a large wire cup brush. Quick trip to Ace. Worked like a champ.

This is the plug on the driver's side front floor pan I showed in a previous pic from the inside of the car.

The pan isn't all bad though. Here's the center section where it meets the firewall.

Dude,
You are taking names. I managed to get a little done on the boxes in my yard. Mr. Yellow runs again -- now we move back to the silver one. I'm doing puppy stuff in this context tho. Keep it up! (we all need motivation :-) kim. |

Thanks Kim. I'm not getting as much done as fast as I'd like to though. I really need to get movin. My wife's family is coming over tomorrow. And I'm heading over to the track for a couple of hours for the first PCA track event. Lots of rain today. I really ought to get my in-laws to help me push the car up the driveway and back into the garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Got the engine on the stand today. 2 liters (2.2? Nobody knows for sure) and 6 cylinders of screamin Porsche power. I'm addicted to the sound. Can't wait to hear it again.
