Color combo...

That seems like a good match. Are you sure the grey matches your car? I noticed your renderings seemed a bit more brown than a typical slate grey ... which is more blue. If you have a correct color chip, then go outside on a sunny day and make sure they complement one another. Indoor lighting tends to play tricks on various colors.

With a slate grey car, my preference would be black script and wheels.

The rendering colors were quite off and only used for general exploration purposes. The swatches are the actual colors under artificial light. The base color is (L22D Slate Grey Metallic). Im still debating the accent color and the form of application (wrapping the trim and bumper skins is an easy inexpensive way to test color combinations, color might not be exact thou.

Below is a better illustration of the colors. Ill make another rendering on actual car soon. In the meantime I'm sharing vector file I created so everyone who wants can experiment with color combinations. File is clean and easy to use. Please do not sell it took a while to trace of off actual car

PS: All ceramic paint (heat insulation) components ordered. Will test on small area and measure the hear transfer to see if it even works.

Cool. Sounds like you're all over it.

Good luck!

This showed up today:



Also bought bunch of 1/4inch marine grade plywood for floorboards. Hardware for it is on the way too.
Need to connect heat to the garage as painting in sub zero "C" temperatures is not recommended.

Quick update: Been experimenting with different paints on the inside. Moisture activated urethane stuff only due to temperatures.

Also, finally got my lift bars in and found that I'm missing right front jack point. Getting ready to drop the engine and would prefer to weld the jack point back on and use the liftbars for safety.

Does anyone know where to order these? Alternatively, I can sell the lift bars and get flat head jack stands to place it where the jack point used to be.

Any help much appreciated.

Car looks like it's coming along well!

Did you ever reach an agreement with the shipping company about the acid damage to your car?

I would imagine the jack point is a salvage yard part since it's actually part of the car's structure.

Nope the jacking points are still available from porsche. I ordered one a few months back as my rear left had rotted through and colapsed.

Have you thought about removing the anti drone plates (don't know if this is the right description) from the floor?

Because I found this underneath one of mine and would be a shame if you sprayed over it.

I have launched a insurance investigation in to the case and a 3rd party was called upon concluding interviews and such. The result of the investigation should be announced soon. Maybe another week or so and I should have some news.

964Andrew

Good to know, Ill stop by my dealer and order one. What process did you use to weld it in place?

964Andrew

Good advice, Ill take mine off too. I will have to re-spray that area, but it is just an undercoating for bed-liner, so no big deal.

Thanks!
Andrew

Wow, talk about difficult. The drone plates are on there very good. I think I will try dry ice next.

I found a spot of surface rust under the LHS 'drone plate' too.

I'm not a fan of inverted welding so I've found somebody more brave that I am
