Great thread and work.
I lost my Dad to dementia last year so he'll not get to see my 914 when the time comes. I have just finished the re-painting of his last car, a 2002 Toyota Corolla that had a lot of scrapes and damage to panels. I unveiled it yesterday, it was fathers day over here so it seemed a good day to put it back on the road. Keep up the great work |

A little photo shoot in the sun for the first time in over 2 years. Finally get to see the depth of the paint.

Thanks @bbrock
He's doing well, thanks for asking. He doesn't understand the lock down stuff and thankfully he doesn't remember how long it's been since I saw him. It's been 2 months now but we talk regularly and he always asks about "the car". He doesn't remember it's a Porsche and when he asks he always has the same response, A PORSCHE? Must doing well for yourself! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

It's a horrible disease but I love that he is still asking about the car and gets the surprise of learning how successful his Porsche-driving son is over and over. Here's looking forward to the first ride with him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I'm very happy to say that I made it! Today is my Dads 85th birthday and he still remembered that I was building the car. And he was so proud to be going for a ride in something I built.
With COVID we haven't seen each other much since he is living in an assisted living facility and we are not allowed to visit. Today we got my mom and dad to come to our house for his birthday and he got to go for his first ride. I'm so happy I was able to get this car built before he forgot. (if you didn't read the full thread, he has dementia) Here he is going for a ride! My son edited the video.
