Great progress Rique, I truly wish I had the time to take on what you have. Keep up the good work man...


Thanks! I just want to get it on the road now so I can meet more people with 914s.

Some pictures of the result of wet sanding. These dont do any justice, as they where just taken from my iPhone.

I'll take more tomorrow with the Canon.

I know how you feel Billy. How are you doing? I think we are at about the same area on our builds.

Finally got in some time to work on the car today, about a good 4 hours. Joe worked on the front hood, laying down the last layer of Polyester.

Also, did something different with thte back hood, think it looks really cool. Pictures to come.

Alsio disassembled the Euro Tail lights, and cleaned and resprayed the housings.

Pics on the way...

As promised, pictures.


Got the new tail lights and cleaned them out. Lots of overspray of many different colors. Painted the inside silver, and it's pretty reflective!

Pic of the backside too. Roughed up the outside with some Scotchbrite, and touched up the black...

We wanted to work on the rear hood, but had to do some touch up on the undercoating we sprayed, so instead, we finished off the front with another layer of the alumi-lead and polyester.


What do you think of the two colors under the rear hood?

Today, Joe finished up the two hoods, they are to be sprayed tomorrow, after we pick up the sheet metal off another 1.8 we have laying around attached to my (future) Side-Shifter! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Only problem is, it's attached to an exhaust that is rusted through..... nothing a Sawzall can't fix, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Found all the (heater?) parts, and sandblasted them. man, did that suck, because they where powdercoated OVER a layer of high temp paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

These next few shots are from my own little caliper clinic! After reading that how-to by Eric Shea, I leaned and actually completed a little check through, and these turned out to be rather nice

You know, it's pretty cool when you come into work, and the first thing you see is your hood, trunk, and engine lid all painted beautifully. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

The painter actually made a make shift paint booth, so I had to move them outside while being careful, as they are still tacky.
