I am starting this thread "in medias res" with the car as it is today.
Then I will post a confusing mix of past and present, showing the project updates and process. Promise to nerd out on the details. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) . |

I bought the project in 2012 (I think..) and most of the time from then to 2016, when I really started working on it again, has been used to ponder about color. The car is originally signal orange, a really cool color. However.. living in the worlds most sparsely populated country , there are not many 914 gt's around, and one of them is signal orange. I can guarantee this car and my car will meet on some cars and coffee in the future. So what else.
The car has been repainted ridiculosly many times and not much of the original paint is saveable, so I consider it a blank canvas. I have never managed to figure out how many layers of paint there are. I fell in love with the Sunoco/Duval livery, so I am quite sure it is going to be like this. Even the cat seems to agree I guess I am fully committed as it has been granted a spot in the living room as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |
