Well, I am very pleased that after months of waiting the media blasting has finally been finished and the car is now in paint for the primer coat.

The blasting did reveal more serious body damage than was immediately apparant and rather shoddy prior repairs.

As you can see from the prior picture, the driver's side rear quarter had a very poorly repaired section. Several close ups will follow. Here's the rear, again an area hit and poorly repaired. This will all be fixed in the metal.

There is something sooo exciting about seeing a 914 bare to the metal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Interior view. This really cleaned up nicely. Look at that sound deadening material. Looks like tar paper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here are the lids, doors and miscellaneous pieces. Everything has been blasted and now is being shot into primer.

Hey, can you post some close-ups of your door braces?

Check out the passenger side door. Love those holes drilled to remove a dent. These will be welded up and ground down - maybe it will be cheaper to just purchase a "new door." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Here's the close up of the driver's side rear quarter. Man, somebody beat the crap out of this panel. Hammer and dolly work may be able to fix this. We will see.

These are Chris Foley's (tangerineracing.com) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) door braces which he graciously loaned me. They are a work of art (like everything he does). I will post more pictures from home later. Don't have any more on the computer here at work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Why didn't you remove the soundproofing before the car was blasted?

The sound proofing was impossible to remove earlier. Now it is all gone. Easy to remove after the media blasting. Hot damn! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That looks really nice.

What did you do to get all of the media out of the holes and crevasses?

Drilling holes was the "way" to pull out dents yrs ago. Now they spotweld studs to the panel and pull on them. Easier to clean up afterwards and no holes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looks great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Re media removal: the media used is baking soda. That's right, baking soda under very high pressure. So, when they are done, first they take the car outside and blast it with high pressure air lines. Then they wash the car off with a hose, dissolve the remaining baking soda and it basically flush it out of the interior panels. I couldn't find any residue the next day. And I gave it a real good inspection (white glove variety). We will make really damn sure before the paint is shot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

What is the cost if the car is already gutted?
