QUOTE(mepstein @ Oct 21 2025, 09:32 PM)  I saw the car post dip and e-coat. It’s amazing how much corrosion was hiding under the red paint. Reviewing all the great restoration projects on this site, I’ve come to the conclusion that the rust level on my 914, although surprising, was not unusual. I think the dipping and E-coating process ensures that no hidden rust goes undetected, and that the hidden areas in the chassis are well protected before rust repair begins. It really wasn’t all that expensive including the logistics of shipping the car back-and-forth to Michigan. |

It’s just there’s always a visual disconnect from a painted car and what’s really hiding underneath. My car had a lot of creative bondo work to duplicate the shape of metal. Your car looks fantastic. Enjoy! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) That’s the plan. I want to develop punch list to keep me busy over the winter. So little time until the snow starts and the roads become undrivable here in New England. |
