993 restoration

[Ferry Man]

Nice colour

I'm very pleased with the colour selection.
It's a difficult shade to portray correctly on screen but - in the flesh - it does look superb.

So now, everything I've cleaned/restored/repainted/purchased new can be bolted back onto the freshly painted shell.

Looking good Paul! Are we in real time yet or are you still catching up with previous work/picture posting?

[hot66]

Paul, did you blast all the shell back to bare metal or just specific areas?

Great thread Paul.

This stage reminds me that when I bought my remarkably cheap second hand 93MY 993 from a well known supplier, it was (surprise surprise) plagued with bizarre electrical gremlins (and a lot more besides). I tried in vain for the indie sector to cure it, but it defeated everyone. Complete lemon. In frustration I tried the local Porsche centre - who told me (oh joy) there was a recall for the whole loom to be replaced!

Porsche secrecy. At the time no one in the indie sector knew about it.

I presume you have a new loom!!

Loved my 993. When it was running properly it was a great car. Only sold it as it was a tip version. Then the market exploded.

Really looking forward to seeing your finished car.

I saw it in the flesh yesterday and it is indeed a great colour

You made the right choice between the different blues Paul

Thanks John.

Any corrosion was targeted and the whole exterior was taken back to bare metal.
