Well, I said good-bye to her this morning. Keep us in your prayers. The sixer left for the full monte. Many thanks to this list. I was able to get all the parts I needed (and I may need more... stay tuned).
She get's stripped tonight and tomorrow and then the metal work begins. I purchased this one from the original owner. It was delivered to Dave Strong Porsche Audi here in Salt Lake City. The owner was a retired police officer and his wife drove the car back and forth to work mostly. Everything is dead original and will stay that way. Here's some pics as she left this morning: Attached image(s) |

Stripe goes bye-bye as it was not original equipment (sorry Z).

Found a few of those braised patch jobs. All coming out... a couple are visable here. One at the front of the sail panel and one at the rear.

Currently looking at sourcing a complete rear quarter for the passengers side. Looking for new but may have to go with a donor. Brad's on it.
It will need a door jam. That rear quarter. The entire longitudinal to the front. A partial of the inner wheel well. Front passengers fender and all those patches fixed. Most of the metal is in-house with the exception of the rear quarter/door jam piece. TTFN |

Wow... you DA'd the panels down?
That takes a graceful touch. I have a good DA, but I'm always worried that I'm going to warp the panel with too much heat... therefore, I chemical strip. Looks like the project is coming along nicely. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

I don't think all of that paint wasn't removed with a DA. That would have taken forever. There are far better alternatives these days that work great. Se my rusto thread. I posted a pic of the 3M stripping wheels I used. Fantastic product. Especially if you can get the 7" equivalents.

Gint - Yes! Thank you. How mooch? Actually, I need to see if I can get it with the entire quarter first. I'll get you a real answer today. Shoot me a price in the mean time.
Rusty - It was all done with a DA. That's Troy's preferred method. It only took him a few hours. 36 grit at very slow RPM (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

QUOTE Gint - Yes! Thank you. How mooch? Actually, I need to see if I can get it with the entire quarter first. I'll get you a real answer today. Shoot me a price in the mean time. Hey, you know how my pricing works. Shoot me a fair offer and I'll more than likely accept it. No idea what it's worth, never looked. Still need the engine bulkhead patch piece for an inspection cover? I could probably get out there this weekend and cut it. QUOTE Rusty - It was all done with a DA. That's Troy's preferred method. It only took him a few hours. 36 grit at very slow RPM No shit. Ask him what he thinks about the 3M stripping pads. IMHO, they are much more efficient at removing paint, generate less heat, and don't have to used quite as slowly as 36 grit paper. |

Thanks Gint,
Let me find out where I stand with the other metal and I'll get back with you. And, yes. I'll still need that piece for the GT engine access. Thanks again, |
