Hi Carl,
Could not sleep and came onto the web site.
I have just completed reading all the post from start to now. I must say it has been better than sleeping or should I say trying to sleep.
I take my hat off to you for undertaking such an extensive project, well done.
Sorry about your wife, my lasted 45 years, but then again I was a "slow learner".
I will follow your undertaking with interest from now on and you don't need encouragement, as you are getting continuous infusions of "job satisfaction".

Thanks Tails!
It is gratifying and therapy at the same time. Thanks for the kind words, I guess it is better to be a slow learner than not learn at all
Get some sleep
Cheers!
Carl

Some more progress pictures from the paint shop taken today. Coming along nicely, panel alignment is almost done.
Looks like my rear S4 bumper cover MIGHT be available for sale, as the paint shop is fairly hesitant patching the bumperette holes. They are not confident it will hold up long term, so I may have to source a ROW rear bumper cover from somewhere. Anyone have one they want to sell/trade?
Cheers!

Instead of sourcing a ROW bumper cover, how about attaching a well-measured and trimmed full panel overlay on top of the bumperette holes? Re-drill for the license plate and tow hook holes, seamseal the joints, sand and paint! It would seem that would work wouldn't it?
Your 928 looks great BTW. Man, thats a lotta work.

Didn't Jerry Feather offer up one of his BD (bumperette-delete) rear covers the other day? Or at least remind me of its existence?

I just climbed out of a month-deep hole, but those Contur cabinets are beautiful- Wish I'd seen this before last week when I put in a big order with Saber. Ah well.
