Since my last post about a year ago.. wow, I have done alot of side projects and can post some pics later.
I have as of this evening rebuilt the front end from the crash damage of January this year and stripped all of the filler off the body.
The cool things I have done that I wish I had pics of are-
New seats, corduray door panels and dash face, built a console from the plans on the french site, added a stereo and koni suspension.
So, spelled out like that it looks like I have done way more than I feel like I have accomplished in those six months.

Before I get the TTIWLWOP streamers flowing in I will take pics tomorrow when I get to the shop.

As I get the body finished this weekend I found that I am missing my driver side headlight cover. If anyone in the DC area has one that I could buy off ya this weekend that would be awesome. 2068504602 is my telly #.

The scheme that I am spraying is the Silver/Phoenix Red creamsicle that I have been tossing around forever and have posted as a photoshop in the past.

This is the scheme I am doing though the silver is of course off a bit, as is the red. I have also bought the Getty bumper set w/ GT valence so those will be going on as well.

Right now my wheels have polished lips and paddles but on a black background.. I really dont want to go to the effort of stripping and repainting if that would be too much red. What do you all think about the trim color matched wheel backgrounds? Is it too much or does it flow well with the scheme?

Go with the color match. I have a silver 914 and have been thinking of painting the centers of my Mahles to add some color to the car.

Fresh outta paint, by myself. The colors are Silverstone Metallic (by Honda) and Phoenix red. I think that the phoenix red didn't come quite right as the mixer did not have the one of the correct lead substitute colors, just something that was stated to be a replacement just not THE replacement.. I still need to clean all the dust out of the inside and engine but I am pretty happy with my work being my first time and all. Recall the accident from December when I was parked and you can see what took a little bit of time.

_Still left is to fit the rear fiberglass bumper and the wheel centers in trim color.. and some side stripes.

I am anxious to hear your thoughts as the orange is a bit louder than I had intended.

Glad to see this paint scheme in a photo! I plan on doing something fairly similar to this. I am going to use the original metallic silver paint color and the phoenix red for the bumpers/rockers/and 5-lug fuchs.

I think for my fuchs I will combine the color background with RSR-look pedals. We will see...

Looks awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Does anyone have advice on painting the centers? I would think that there would be a mask available for the petals.

You can probably make a pattern of one petal and go to a vinyl graphics shop and they can make 20 exactly alike for masking. Or just do it the hard way like most everyone else with masking tape. To keep them all the same you can make a paper pattern to tape around.

OK, I will try doin the wheels this week.
Today I am cleaning up all the trim and the interior before I show shots of it.
Do you suppose polished trim or blacked out trim would look best with this car?

I have been fitting cleaning time into my evenings since I brought her home. When I get all the paint dust boogies out I will post some shot of the corduroy interior and radio stuff that I squeezed in. I have played hell today fitting new window squeegees(sp) in. There is still 6 inches of seal sticking out on the pass door while I let my fingers heal/regain strength. I have had some requests to post some shots of my work on the rear quarters which I will put up as well. The phoenix is quite bright in the daylight, the two above were at like 6 am before work that day.
