"I went to go take pics, and the camera was NOWHERE to be found...o-well. Here's what I did tonight...."

Doug, you'd loose your dog if she weren't fenced in, or something like that...Any thoughts on your side lights?
Thanks for the tips on sanders and seat ejection, retraction. Whatever

I knew where it was. Angie had it...Found my wallet too! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I don't like the side-lights. I'm half-thinking that I'll try Saab side-markers behind the front wheels. I donno though...

Seats are easy once you have done it once....I can yank mine in about 10min now.

Ok..NOW were cooking with gas! Angie sent me to the garage to work on the car tonight...I'd been bitching that I felt like I had no modivation. So she did dishes while I went out to work...great wife!

Anywho...got the whole shebang in primer. THAT feels a lot better!

Here's how she sat about 2hrs ago...

I re-built most of this fender, and I think it looks great now...still needs a little work though.

In my tests, this primer sticks REAL well to the Herculiner. so we're at least going to prime it. One more layer of protection.

So now I'm modivated again...I'll come home early tomorrow and start sanding everything down real nice and working out the waves. I'll prima again and again till I get it right. I MAY be able to paint her before I leave for WCC next Friday!

Doug - Making great progress. Looking good! Enjoyed following the progress. Give me a call next week when you are digging in - would love to come by and get an education on what to look for! Thanks again for the PPI on the 914 in Lorain. Are you still debating on picking it up? Has some good things about it, but the structural rust scares me.

Let me know if I can help you out on anything?

Yeah, if I buy that car, it'll be for the interior. That's about all that's good on it. The front-trunk floor was real nice too, but that's about it. He'll never sell that car to anyone BUT a 914 guy, and we'll never pay mare than $500 for it. For your first 914, that is NOT a good car.

Come on over any time. I'll be working on it all weekend. LOTS of body work to finish up.

Ok...We have the tub 100% primed!

Here's the ammo I used for the job. PPG K36 High-Fill primer.

I've been using a turkey baster to measure everything. I just fill up to the ticks on the side of the mixing cup. The mix for this primer is 2-Catalist : 2-Reducer : 4-Primer

Got the trunks and the interior vaccuumed out and wiped down with de-greaser.

The primer went over the back (covered with Herculiner) real well, so I decided to do the rest of the interior...at least in primer.

Front trunk...all covered up and cozy. The floor had been POR-15'd by the PO...I just roughed it up a bit so it'll stick well.

The primer covered the Herculiner REAL well...Filled it in a bit too so it's not as rough.

I also got the inside of the doors done. I'm planning on doing the doors and lids seperate from the rest of the tub. I just don't have the room. I'll get it back on the ground, and then have the garage free to paint it...
