Finally decided to get my daily driver 912 stripped & repainted for the summer. Needs rear window repairs to make it water tight for next winter but decided a good time for a colour change.

need some new front wings...

bumpers shot blasted and prep started

Front all sound..

Moving on quite fast...

doors & engine lid all sound and prepped..

Whoa, hold back a bit - at this rate you'll be finished by your 3rd post

Your car looks great and love the colour as it is

Good luck with the project.

Rear wing repaired where previous arch was not seam sealed many years back.

This rear window is going to slow progress though

Front windscreen corner repaired

no rot on nearside wing

Front scuttle repair needed however the white scuttle that was going to be used seems to have a different design airbox. The original is elongated with a bulge at the top. The white one underneath is just oblong. Any ideas what year this changed?

keep it the original colour; looks

great work, can i ask why the two wings are different colour? did you strip the e-coat off or was it bare metal when you got it?

Coming on well! Keep the original colour, looks good on an early car.

Yes the wings came like that... but the one without the coating is a better fit so assume there are a couple of suppliers for these Porsche wings?

Still un-decided on the colour...

Love SB but also like the lines when they are black....

Go for black much better than yucky brown
