How much should I take off? There are two layers of paint. On top is a crappy colour change to red, underneath the original orange, and in between there are bits of bondo filling in the odd hole. Once I am done with the chassis repairs (and replacing bondo with metal)I am going to POR what I can and then get her painted.
Whatever method I use, should I take it down to bare metal or just to the original primer and let the paint shop take it from there? What kind of surface should I put on the panels for the easiest paint job? This car will never be concours, I just want to fix it right and get the best finish job that I can. |

I would say strip to bare metal. It is hard to prove that they used primer. Only when you can see the bare metal can you tell what repair is required.
I used to have a tangerine '71, and thought it was the only one in Canada. The 914 was not officially imported until the '72 model. That made '71s very rare. |
