The Front and rear bars will be done this week! Given the amount of paint we removed they should look a lot better, with no cracking!

Russ,

Wet sand is yet to be done! this is straight off the gun!

Using 2 pak aviation primers and paints! 3 coats.

Clear added into the last coat so the clear is through the colour! Im not a painter by any means but what i see i like very much!

Russ, I'm very happy with how its all going! Some may suggest I have over capitalized by doing what I have up until now, but I'm enjoying the build and that's all that really matters to me and at the end ill have a lovely car to drive and enjoy!

It'll be brilliant when it's finished, great to see a 944 restored to its former gloy. Over capitalised ??? Who cares, what price do you put on the satisfaction it will give you? Even if our cars will never reach the financial heights of the 911, they are still Porsches, beautifully engineered, great looking and a hoot to drive.  Enjoy it and drive it as often as you can :)

Especially so on an old one, I try not to think too much on the dough I have spent on mine, but mine sat around a lot and didn't get driven much since'99 and I think it is a victim of this.So far it looks great Foyley, New paint always looks awesome, can't wait till she's finished.

Lookin' good Daryl!  Hopefully the hatch didn't give you too much trouble...

Ok Rob now see what you where on about rear hatch is a bit of a bugger to line up and get everything working as it should! But we got there in the end!
