correct paint finishes on my 71 T advice needed please

Post by tangerineT »

Hello all

I've stripped my 71 911T to a bare shell ready for repaint,

I've removed a lot of the paint and underseal as it was damaged and scruffy everywhere

It's seen various coats of paint etc but I'd like to get the underseal and paint details correct

I've seen various rebuild photos but they all contradict ,,where there really that many ways porsche finished their cars in 71?

The engine compartment was stone chipped then painted body colour then satin black over the top , I'm assuming this could be correct

Does anyone know where I can find out how it was originally finished ie black underneath or painted , and how would other areas of the car be finished

I will probably paint the inside floor areas so I can lift carpets to check it's still good

Any advice greatly appreciated ,,thanks
