Re: Project Blue Book

It looks fantastic. Just a quick question , The yellow zinc plating on your parts from earlier posts, Did you do these or did you send them out to a company? If you sent them out, could you let me know who they were please as I need to get some done. Keep up the brilliant work. Karl Redditch Electr...

Re: Project Blue Book

Thank you rhd Racer I appreciate your comment :P Garry71 This is the Chrome spry I used. I have found that cleaning the surface after sanding is key. Even after etch priming I found that I had to clean with pre-prep silicon remover to avoid strange inclusion. I keep the paint on the radiator for an ...

Re: Project Blue Book

Epic build thread; thank you for sharing. Read the entire thread here and on 911UK today. At the risk of going off-topic - what all did you use to fabricate the various bits of sheet metal that you welded in place? I might just about have been clever enough to come up with a small subset of them bu...

Re: Project Blue Book

Just spotted this build. Such a shame it was not in the Projects section as so many more would have seen this effort and been inspired! Superb work making a modified and near new car of a 914, really good. Looking forward to the next stages now I know! :) Clearly not good enough for the restoration...

Re: Project Blue Book

Thank you all so much for your kind words. I’m glad you’re all ‘Feeling the garage’ in truth it’s almost killed me, but I’m so pleased with the outcome https://i.postimg.cc/gjwkgQL0/4837-AF57-9-ADC-4-AA6-AD30-9-E778-DC540-B0.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/D0tfH61P/8-EFF0-E38-13-FE-4-D1-D-91-DA-1-AF9-D43-F...

Re: Project Blue Book

Thank you so much Wayne. It’s so nice to have all three in the same postcode now! I think I might have to take a bit of the back of the wheels to cover me for tyre flex. Good spot on the 964 and I’m right proud of my sliding doors in matching green to my ramp. Always wanted to make a set. Still some...

Re: Project Blue Book

Thank you both. I haven’t been around much of late as I’ve been building a new/ massively modified garage so I can complete the restoration of the 914. I’m hoping that I will be able to get the shell into it in the next week or two. Please stay tuned and your kind comments will inspire me to get ove...
