beautiful color,... but I gotta say... that paint needs some hydrophobic help (it's all in the surface prep prior to ceramic too,... so my comment is off the cuff. Apologies for any offense)

I followed the exact same route 10 years ago. Grey cars really need this level of correction or they look really dull.Took about 40-50 hours but well worth it.
Love Amethyst paint. Great color for a 964 and especially on a Turbo.

OK. Yeah it took some hours to complete but as you say the finish product got really good.

The interior is grey. The interior need a good bit of refresh too, where the seats and panels been taken out and some was broken, as the back panel against rear windows was cracked and trying to repair now.
They had try taken out the rear wiper and didnt botter to take loose the bolts, only just try to rip it of the panel.

Thanks for posting. Killer Car. I'm also bringing life back to a Amethyst 964. Can't handle the Faded Grey Pink interior. She's being transformed.

Holy crap!! ...

The engine builder probably left for the night after putting the pistons on the rods, and then forgot to check the wrist pin circlips the next day.
Were ALL of them missing?

Help me out on the picture above, ... it looks like there is a rusty wrist pin circlip installed

Good thing you took your engine apart to check everything. That would have been some serious scoring on your cyl jugs
