A good afternoon of driveline stripping has left us with this little lot to sort

[neilbardsley]

You have your work cut out for you there! What did Max think was rare about the engine? He knows these cars quite well! Has the case been measured? Is it OK?

Wow, some serious fabrication required here. Don't panic though, it's all do able. Just a good plan and some time. Can recommend the Restoration Design metal, though the OE Prsche panels are the best, so long as you are willing to pay double the price. Avoid the Dansk stuff....

Personally, I'd stop there and get the shell stripped, either by Envirostrip or a good media blasters. That's the only way you're going to see what you're really up against. Good luck with the project, though!

Agreed and have gone for a mixture of both

Out of interest the full rear quarter OEM was £810 and Restoration design £785

Front hubs are in poor shape with a lot of oxidisation and thanks to Robert Barrie for sorting out replacements, meanwhile other parts have had first clean prior to next stages

That should be better?

[Robind]

thank you

[Robind]

spent the afternoon playing with the Eastwood soda blasting kit from Frost and very happy with the results

we started with this


and ended up with this

[Robind]

and I think this speaks for itself, I think i might just have it on the mantel piece inside

[neilbardsley]

That is good. I tried to clean mine by hand it was nowhere as good

Well last night decided to have a ghoster and go for it with the painting, really happy with the end results and will start on the engine tinware later after getting some sleep.... hopefully then get a few hours before heading off to The Castle
