Man, it's been a long time since I've done a project.
This one started with the simple removal of the silly "Gee I really want to be a 911" rear reflector. And of course the filling in of the 6 huge scars that thing leaves behind. And the simple patching up and painting of the glass GT rockers, along with removing a hideous trunk rack put on by the PO. That was IT. Do those things, and then just have fun with the car. I already have a Porsche that's too nice to drive, I don't need another one that I'm afraid to take out! Of course, now the car is completely disassembled - every bit of trim removed, lights removed, windshield out, etc. for a complete redo of the paint. And, of course, the glass dude broke the windshield, so now it's a new windshield. And new windshield chrome and clips. And that little seal between the windshield and the dash is a bit cracked, so a new one of those ($80). What started as a "few hundred dollar" freshening has now spiraled out of control! It'll be nice when it's done. Hopefully next week! '74 with 5.7 V8, steel GT flares, Vellios 915, 911 suspension/brakes, chassis reinforcement kit, boxed trailing arm, other tube reinforcements and rollbar, etc. |
