27 hours of sanding and epoxy glaze puttying and I am ready to put on one more coat of epoxy primer then the first of three coats of high build primer for final finishing on just these four parts. (front hood, rear deck lid and both doors.

My wife says I should clear coat it as is and either sell it to the US military or take it duck hunting. (The camo Porsche)

The front hood was a little easier than the rear deck lid but still took a lot more finishing than I expected. I hope all is worth it in the end.

Ahhh that is what we are supposed you use old workout equipment for... !!

I see nothing special in your pics.. just typical 914 body work.

Cant wait to see some color on them.

The equipment has lots of dust on it...and it isn't all just from the sanding of late. I keep telling myself I will get back to using it........just as soon as I get my teener on the road.

I was reading one of your quotes on your site.

"Car was either in a hail storm or parked next to a ball park or driving range"


We call this "Midgets running past the cars with a ball peen hammer"

LOL
Must have been some of those Californian "midgets". The car was supposed to come from there years ago.

BTW is there any way to trace a VIN in the US to see where the car came from. I was told California, and judging from the amount of US coinage I found under the seats I believe it was from the US but was unsuccessful in searching various DMV's.

You are also going to need a serious security system to be
sure to vaporize any person or animal attempting to push
on the top of the rear lid again. Porsche might just as well have
used a window shade as the lid, just spring roll it forward.

I have a car that must have seen hazardous duty (in the midwest)
from kids with bb guns. Huge number of dings on the right side,
none on the left. Only rock chips on the front.
