Re: 912 '67 Spring Project

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

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?

Re: 912 '67 Spring Project
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?

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?smallspeed wrote:keep it the original colour; looks

Still un-decided on the colour... Love SB but also like the lines when they are black....
