Took the engine bay back down to metal and got it primed today. Etching primer followed by sandable primer and sanded with 320 between coats. Drying until Tuesday then we will get seam sealer back on from a calling gun and then sprayer before laying down color and clear.

Learned that the "Engine Deck Lid Bumper" is actualy used in 2 places. The other is in the front trunk to keep water out in these 2 holes Actually, that is incorrect! The holes in the front trunk are supposed to have longer rubber tubes in them that allow water to flow out of the trunk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) My 1971 914-4 has the same engine deck lid bumpers in the those 2 holes....not the any kind of longer drain tubes. So Porsche must have been doing this on many of the cars. |

Haven't uploaded any progress for a while so here's a few more photos. We got the spray in seam sealer, wurth undercoat and paint in the engine bay.

Took seats to an awesome 3rd generation upholstery wizard. Brought Justice along with me from the shop so he can get trained by him to recover seats. Thanks to people like Jamie rust we have about 15 - 20 sets of seats that can be used as a core Exchange program so that will be able to do completed seats in the future. He's also working on improving our patterns for installation by the Layman so it should make it easier on everyone that wants to do it themselves.

Cleaned up the defroster vents and replaced the seals. The old ones had degraded in to a sticky mess.

I upgraded to the late style grill and seal for the air box. The key to this is superglue and patience. The factory seals were glued to the grills. I superglued the grill into the seal and let it set up for the night. Then I glued the sill to the Box halfway around and let it set. Then I came back and glued it to the other side so that it was completely glued to the Box. When I went to install I used the Sil Glide liberally all the way around so that the new rubber didn't stick to the new paint and make it come off the Box.
