Sadly little progress this week as Mrs. Foxman decided that the house needed a spring refresh. Instead of painting the 964, I painted the girl’s bathroom.
Track season starts this weekend with a PCA event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. So the 964 won’t be getting much attention this weekend.
Hopefully next week I can begin paintkmg in earnest.
Oh man! Look at it as practice Gotta keep the Mrs happy! Sadly for me keeping Mrs dingo happy means saving money haha
Oh Sweet, are you taking the 993?

Yes Sir, the 993 is finally back in the road and ready for track duty after a suspension overhaul. The project went way over budget, however, and that’s slowing things down for the 964.
I did did pick up a set of Schroth Profi II GT3 harnesses for the 964 today. That should help motivate the seat selection process.
i also ordered a set of LED running/brake lights from Bergvill FX. Looking forward to getting the 964 back on the road. She was my daily drive last summer.

Sweet! Hopefully we will see some track day pics.
Nice one, looking forard to seeing what kind of seats you go with. I think that will be next on my list once I've got mine going again.
Man couldn' think of anything better than driving a 964 everyday! My daily drive is a fiat scudo haha!

Fiat Scudo, nice. Twice the weight, and half the horse power, LOL.
I saw saw a pair of the Cobra Suzuka Pro Fit Seats in an older 911. The seats were very wide for the car, and rather uninspiring. The Kirkey seats look pretty good, but not enough headroom and I want something more driver friendly for daily use.

Add in 1000kg of plumbing gear and you get the slowest fiat van in the southern hemisphere
I'm really confused about seats at the moment... Can't be bothered saving for pole positions, thinking a pair of nz made lightweights for quarter of the price!

Great pics, that green car looks pretty wild!
The green car has a blue cousin. Two big guys that race each other. Great stuff. Just watching them climb in and out of the car is entertaining.
Back on task, I spent much of the day doing the final sanding by hand with some 150 grit sandpaper. Next I turned my attention to the wire looms. They were a a mess after being exposed to glue, and the dust and debris from the wire brush, including hot rubber.
So I removed the gooey friction tape. Next I gave the wires a quick wipe down with a paper towel moistened with some alcohol to remove most of the residue. Then I went to work re-wrapping the looms with electrical tape and friction tape. The last step is wrapping the looms in foil making ready for the paint. Still a bit more hand sanding to do, and then a final clean and wipe down. Then tape and masking, then plastic wrap for a paint booth, and then ...
Coming down to the wire
New friction tape for looms, then foil wrap for the paint
You unwrapped the entire interior harness, then wiped down each individual wire? Madness! I commend your commitment Foxman.
For what it's worth, 4k to paint the interior seems insanely expensive. Id consider getting a couple more quotes. Less than half that should get it done properly now that you've done the hard part, the prep work.

Complete madness, indeed. But I don't want to lay an oily mess of wires down on top of a freshly painted interior. I didn't get a a quote. That was the cost with tow for a Cayman S I saw painted in white. It was pure perfection. I agree the job can, and should be done for less.

Thanks, greatly appreciated. But I'm fully committed as I have already purchased the 2K paint and can't turn back now. The custom paint and primer alone cost close to $400, but I purchased extra for a roll bar. For what it's worth, Mike's Auto Body of Malden would be the first place I'd go for a quote. They did a 3/4 respray on my 993, and I'm very pleased with the final result.
