Thanks to the forum for getting me motivated. I look forward to getting this going and I am sure I will need some help, advice, and other stuff along the way. I will try and put in as many pics as possible.

oh man...I remember when mine looked like that! lol. Looks like a good project. For me, major fun while I was rebuilding the thing. Almost as much fun as driving it!

Keep the progress pics coming!

Thanks...my Dad purchased this car back in 1988 and we me Wilco up at Laguna Seca that year and picked up one of his soft top conversions, before the Boxter was ever around. This was my dad's project car that I helped his with when I was in high school. My dad was a fireman in Culver City and put this together at his house in Laguna Niguel. When he was tired of it he gave it to me when I finished college. I have used this as a daily driver in Seattle and have driven it X-country to Key West. I had it in New Mexico for some time and now we are together in the Mid South…Memphis. I thought it was time for a new paint job and one thing led to another and this is where I am at.

I was just getting my garage in order for this project and I think I have all the tools for the job. The CFO of the house gave me the green light and said this need to be back together…and running if I wanted to another 911.

Undercoating is no fun...BTW: If I am going to resurface the undercoating with Wurth do I need to take it down to metal or can it just be degreased sanded and sprayed???

Also started on the tar mat and do not like the looks of rust...whats your take??? Surface rust...or do I just have to start ginding down until its gone and if there is not enough metal then I know I will be doing more welding??? Or after grinding and prep would POR-15 take care of this?

Other rust...how about around the trunk seal area??? The corners are no good. I have looked at http://www.restoration-design.com/ and have not seen anything I could use for this area...will I be doing some fabrication along with the welding??? Any ideas would be great...

Working by yourself, you can't work in one place to long before you go crazy...started sanding the underside.
