So in the meantime, while I let the interior paint harden up and air out, I decided to restore these seatbelts with this sticker kit I bought long ago.

So one thing leads to another right? This subproject was only to be an interior restoration.... but.... since I removed the pedal cluster, I decided to go ahead and remove my master cylinder to install a 19mm unit that I have had in storage for two years...but...while I was down there in the wheel wells I just did not like the look of this. For some reason, my 914 came from the factory with green fender wells. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
So, seeking the advice of the 914world http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=109883&hl= I decided to paint these bad boys body color. I came very close to painting them black, but I still have plenty of blue paint remaining. So here we go on a tangent.... Attached image(s)

Cleaning a wheel well is a lot of work.
I had 1. Overspray 2. Undercoating or Road tar 3. Dirt Each took me a couple of evenings to clean and sand properly. Attached image(s)

I used a wire wheel on a cordless drill to get most of it clean.

Painting cars is fun. Taping them up is not. It takes forever.
Oh, and with masking tape I now have a race car also. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s)

So here is my product prior to paint. As can be seen, I used primer/surfacer to fill in the scratches left from road debri.

Thomas, your craft is stupendous!
I love that color, the way you painted in the Marque, and all your rustoration. It is a thing of beauty. Now, I do have to ask, what year and engine is that Oly Blue? I had a 73 2.0L on the East Coast and it got away. 30 years ago this month. Just wondered. John |

John Hi John, The Oly Blau is a 73 2.0. It spent time in Germany, then California, then I bought it in Texas. I have all the paperwork on it from the beginning. |
