PDR on aluminum takes some serious skills.

Excellent and thoughtful balance of restoration and preservation...looking forward to seeing this one again!

Car is coming along great! I remember when you and I took this thing down the road when it barely ran. It's nice to see so much forward progress.

Had a fun time wrapping up the hatch area this evening.
The period-correct tool pouch and tire inflator are stowed behind the very unique rear tool panel in fibreglass with 1/4-turn screws, more to follow on that panel.
The fibreglass spare tire cover is crazy cool too! Wish Porsche continued to use this throughout production.

A lot of interesting details, for sure.
Edit: And you're right, it would have been nice if they stayed with that spare cover set-up. Those darn metal hold down clips are a bugger, if you snag a finger going in or out. Learned one thing, pull or squeeze the spare in/out with your hands at one and seven locations...two, four and nine are a finger cutter.

Things are moving along nicely. Paint has awakened from a long slumber, thanks to #6assistant (he's killing it, I'm super impesssed!).
More to show really soon, just want to wrap things up before the glamour shots
In the meantime, anyone have a solution to remove calcium scale from glass? Best I found was flat-blade razors. Could use a better option.

Griots sells a glass cleaner, with special pads. I have the small orbital and pads, and that works pretty good. Sort of like the toothpaste solution above.
