I am a half-year 914 guy, the car spends a lot of time in winter storage here in Northern Michigan. I bought my 1974 1.8 in 2007, helped along by the generous advice of 914world members.
Now the Parade is only 40 miles from my house, I am thinking of entering the concours. Immediate questions involve the completely unoriginal radio, wheels that have been repainted, and front and rear sways that I had installed when Brad Mayeur did the original work on it. Otherwise it is a very clean car. I am wondering if I am ineligible for a "survivor" judging because of these mods? My original thread with pics: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=69564&hl= Thanks for your help. Paul |

So I brought my car into the local guru of paint to have my car professionally buffed and waxed. I bought a PorterCable orbital about four years ago and did it myself but still had some tiny starburst looking random scratchy spidery lines in the paint.
I would like to say that my car is beautiful and does not in any way need a new paint job, at least in my eyes. And unless you are looking closely at 6" or less, you really do not see flawed paint. BUT I was hoping some of the swirly marks would disappear. Anyway, my guy is upset because he buffed the back trunk and was not able to improve the appearance. He was afraid he'd go through the paint! 1. I'm not gonna get out the orbital but I am interested in the latest and greatest product for our cars with original paint. Is there some special nanotechnology shine substance I can use before the Parade? 2. He said the paint back in the day was "thin." Is this true? I remember in 1974 I hand buffed through the paint on my 1971 Signal Orange car... 3. He also said the car did not have enamel paint. I always thought it was enamel? Thanks, Paul PS I will get rid of all the wax, Pat!!! |
