QUOTE(autopro @ May 3 2022, 09:21 AM) So no paint on Saturday, no paint on Sunday but Monday was my day. I left work early to go paint the car, this time without any problems. I'll leave the car in here for the rest of the week and on Saturday I will paint the doors and trunks. Beautiful! |

@autopro - Pedro, Terrific work and color; is that Adriatic Blue? Regardless, nothing prettier than a freshly painted chassis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Love this thread, excellent work.
I have some of my refurbished GT Modified front & rear trunk hinges at plating. Should be back by next Wednesday. So if you are interested I'll have plated (Yellow Zinc), raw bead blasted, or primered available. PM me if interested These would look great on your 914 Oscar    |

Thanks, Glenn and Robert!
Cairo, thanks for the compliments. The color is from Porsche and it's called Shark Blue paint code D5C. I agree a bare painted chassis no matter the car is a thing of beauty. It does look a bit like candy Dion, I'm not a flashy color for a car kind of person but my wife and kids helped pick the color. Wife says she will be driving this one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |

Got a little bit impatient and started putting some parts on the car. Brake lines and rebuilt brake pressure regulator from PMB.
 Master cylinder and a few brake lines also from PMB  |

Rebel Racing front bushing set installed. I used JB Weld to apply the races provided in the kit to the A-arms. I love how silky smooth they feel. New ball joints installed.
  Installed onto the cross-member (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)  |

Assembly of the front end continues, my goal is to get it off the stand I built before it gets too heavy.
A-Arms and Sway Bar from GR German Parts Restoration installed.     |
