Thanks to Tom_T, was able to get an updated COA that specifically states "Marathon Blue Metallic" although they will not list the paint code of L96M

As per PCNA, "The COA will only list the Porsche Exterior Color code. It is similar to an option number/code for the exterior color that was chosen therefore the COA will list 89. We do not list paint codes on the COA"

Not sure that it matters so long as the proper color is listed as per the L96M punched into the chassis plate.

Picked up the Fan Shroud earlier today from the tumble blast procedure. The process and type of media used was not disclosed when asked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

The results far exceeded my expectation as the Magnesium case looks as new. The process actually closes the pores so it will not absorb any coatings and I am leaving it as is so as not to impede any heat dissipation once reinstalled. It looks so good that I will use the process on my transmission case as well as the decision was recently made to rebuild it now that it is out of the car.

Here are some before and after pics.

Had some Weld repairs done to the Heat Exchangers compliments of Tim at Morse Muffler & Performance Exhaust in Burbank...great shop!

Spent some time cleaning them up with a baking soda/water mixture and a soft/medium brush.

Might get into it a little more with some oxalic acid tomorrow.

Update:

Cleaned up a bit better with some Barkeeper's Friend containing Oxalic Acid. Looks like this is as good as they're going to get.

After treating the fuel tank to an acid bath and blasting prior to powder-coat, it seems the little rust demons were a little farther along than originally anticipated. Better to find out now than later.

Will now start the process over with a different tank.

Jefferey-

I like the detail you're sharing with us. Very motivating to say the least!!!

I'm starting to tear down my ORANGE 914 now.

I have a hunch you'll complete your resto before I complete my 914 Hauler.

See ya this weekend my friend....

Calvin & Tucker Jumped right into this morning's Fed EX delivery thinking it was their dog food delivery from Chewy.com

But even better, turned out to be two boxes full of 914 Resto parts from 914Rubber.com. A big thank you to Mark and Scott for getting me sorted out with all this. This stuff looks really good and I'll spend some time on Saturday going through it.

DO NOT re-use 40 year old sodium filled exhaust valves disaster waiting to happen !
This is what happened as I was dis-assembling my 2L head, just tapped valve stem with mallet to insure stems not frozen in guides when spring popped loose.

Picked Up a second fuel tank over the weekend and had the inside treated. Upon pic- up noticed that it is also rusted in the exact same spot as the original tank and will open up upon prep for powder coat.

Unbelieveable, I still need to source a fuel tank without rust! This is a real PITA!!!
