Very nice work! It's hard to tell what color it is. Tan? Yellow?

Wow, excellent work and an inspiration to get working harder on my project. I have rust almost identical to photo #2 above (driver side engine shelf). Question: did you form sheet metal to patch the shelf piece and leave out the small drain indendation (that looks like it doesn't work anyway)? Also, for the inner firewall fix; did you have to open up the fender for access, or were you able to repair this from the inside?

I believe its the original color L13 (Summer yellow). Hopefully we can get some better pictures once he gets the car back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah I believe I left the drain indent out of it. I can't remember if I drilled a drain hole or not. For the sidewall, I did not have to remove any part of the fender. I was able to do it all from the engine bay or passenger compartment. When doing the outer jackpost though I removed part of the door jamb to get a little more access. I didn't want to do anymore welding on exterior panels than I already had to.

Glad to see you got the bodywork done and some paint on it. Looking forward to seeing some better pictures. I sure learned a lot from this posting, thanks

SHE's BACK!!

So after three years and three months of owning what was supposed to be my little driver, Summer is back and ready for reassembly!

I need to get it back to the body shop for some flaws I found and want fixed. Should have it to roller stage very soon. I have all new suspension, bearing and brake parts (accept calipers), and am ready to go..........if I could only find the rear trailing arm bolts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I'll get better pics tomorrow. I've already got the bumpers on, as well as the front A-arms. If I can find the rear swing arm bolts, it'll be rolling in no time

Wow, that is beautiful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Too nice to put any greasy parts on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just leave it like that...

Dude...your car looks awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Great work!

I also picked up some of Eastwoods Internal Frame Coating that I plan to use in the center tunnel. What do you think of this product? Any application tips?

Congrats again, I look forward to seeing this thing get put back together.

What trailing arm bolts do you need? These?

Those would probably be them Bob. I found allen headed bolts that did the trick but I don't like not using the right bolts. figured I'd at least get started and could always go back and change them out.

Also have seemed to misplace a rear strut spring cap and a trailing arm shaft nut.......got lazy at the end of disassembly! Everything else is bagged and tagged.

John I'd love to leave it as is, but with two other cars, I need my lift (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And it is too nice to put old parts back on.......but its what I have so.....

Saigon, you'll have to ask Doug about what he thought of the coating, I had nothing to do with it.

Jersey, hadn't decided what I'm doing for a motor yet. I have two and considered building one up and saving the other. I'm not going crazy though, I have the 993 if I want to go fast. This just has to look good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My only tip is that it can be very messy! It dries pretty quick too. I can't really comment on how well it performs other than it gets everywhere and is a pain to clean up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Sure does! Got to thank Doug up there dlee6204, he did the body work on it. I couldn't have done what he did, that's for sure. I'm just proud to have a nicely restored ride. So many have been hacked or half ass fixed over the years, I think this car will really be something some day (hopefully soon).

I'll have some more teaser pics very soon!
