Porskee's Progress Thread, It's going to be cool... Options

[thomasotten]

I decided to start this thread, as a way of keeping organized, and for those who enjoy seeing projects from start to finish. Also, since I am taking photos of the process, every step of the way, I am sure I can benefit from the advice of those who have gone before. I have a few other prequel-threads, but I think since I am now starting the major body work towards the goal of repainting, I will stick with this thread from here on out.

Before I start posting recent photos, let us cast our minds back to the summer of 1991. This is a photo of the car as it looked then. It was taken shortly after I met my wife, then girlfriend. She calls the car "Porskee", her pet name for it. Notice the "whale tail" on the back. Funny, I used to like that silly whaletail! I have become much more of a purist, lately, but not extremely so. I sold that whale tail to somebody, and he has tried over and over to sell it, but he can't give it away! Also, notice the IMSA air dam on the front - something I liked, yet disliked at the same time. It also has these crappy aftermarket mirrors that would never stay in position. The wheels, were one of the first things I added to the car, a few years earlier. I really wanted Fuchs (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) , but being in High School at the time, I could not afford them. By the time this photo was taken, I had already converted the brown interior to black, and had the engine rebuilt once.
