Got an hour in.

Bunch of time sanding out what was in there. Took it down to metal on most places and then to the existing bondo everywhere else just because this fender has been worked on so much. The existing bondo looked really good in most area's.

Threw some bondo on it as well. About 1/8 of a gal. This will probably take another 1/4 gal of bondo before its done. This filler is pretty thin so I can only really put it on 1/4" at a time which I really dont mind all that much.


Spent the rest of the night on my car, trying to swap carbs, but the other carb leaked like crazy... So swapped it back... yay, non progress....

Yes I used 1/2 a gallon of filler. That fender needed some love...

There is currently 1/8 to 1/4" over the whole pannel, I am now sanding it down to get the fender the way that I like it. Do have some low spots.



All the rockers and valences have been sanded down, the windshield washer nozzles have been removed and it has been decided to weld them up!


Also I JUST remembered how to take the vent window off and the seal off as I was telling Peter how I had no clue I then said "wait a second" and removed it in 30 seconds... I wish I remembered that for MY car... Arg.

Made up for my non working this week with 3 hours last night!

Got to 75% done on the rear fender. Really dont have much time left on it and its looking really good. I have to go over it with 180 grit but it almost completely roughed in.

I also welded the holes for the window washers. I welded the rocker pannel crack and the rear valence crack. I straightened the rear valance (It will need some bondo...), and put a skim coat on the rear bumper.

Progress was great! Very excited about how much was done. I will be doing all the final work today so that primer can be done tomorrow.

Had a lot of erands to run yesterday but I still got most of the progress I wanted to accomplish before today.

Got 2 hours in.

Pulled the vynal off the targa bar, used acetone to clean the glue off, filled a little dent, and sanded it down with 180 grit.

Sanded the cowl area down, Filled the dents where the washers were and sanded it down with 180.

Finished the fender area as well as most of the molding of the fender lip. I still have the front of the fender to go and that might be a little bit difficult.. But that will be finished today.


I still need to put some glazing puddy down to fill some pinholes and sand the fender down to 180 and then the whole car is ready for primer filler.

it was very cool to see some 'color' go on the car. It will still need a little bit of work, but it looks great!

Andrew thinks there will be roughly another 15-20 hours of sanding/prepping before we are ready for primer epoxy and color. so close!

Spent a little over 2 hours block sanding yesterday. No pics, but the rear trunk is ready for another coat, there is only a small spot where it needed more primer. The front dr fender is 90% and doesn't look to need any more primer. The dr door has one low spot that needs. Bit of primer, I think I'm just going to throw 4 strong coats on this spot due to it being do low. The dr rear fender needs just a tiny bit more primer and it'll be perfect.

Damn this car is getting done quick!

My black car had slightly rolled fenders in the rear and I was able to get away with 205's tucked up under them. The strange thing was that one side almost rubbed and the other side had 1 1/2 fingers of clearance.

I'm going to talk to the local paint shop and see if they will match the price. Also we have the signal green color now so they should be able to look up the color in a single stage stage layout

Andrew, sounds good. let me know what they say and if they can match it.

Porsche_dreamer - I think the orginal color was alaska blue metallic. but I (or andrew) will have to look at the code to be certain.

the new color will be porsche signal green. (pretty much the gt3rs green of the 2007 model).

although, ive been doing some research, and that viper green looks good too. hmmmmm

its hard to tell the difference, but it looks to be a tad bit darker than the signal green. anyone have first hand experience with the two colors?
