Second layer of play dough and i was able to get one caliper into the sandblasting cabinet last night as well.

 

Paint is on. Still need to wet sand then clear then wet sand then buff.

 

Looking good, are you going to do a metal trim ring around the exhaust opening?

 

I ordered a black ring. Waiting for it to get here.

so quick tip.. after you wet sand and wipe it off with wax/grease remover for clear… dont grab the bottle of parts cleaner instead




rims



after first clear.

 

Nice, that will look good

 

Excellent photographs, as there's nothing quite like watching a build unfold...

I've asked before, but not sure there is a teflon / light oil product available commercially outside of Japan?

Wakos Rusupene is a brilliant product that I've used many times in the past for just this.
Pre-application, either by itself or with heat has saved my bits many times.
Details here, as there must be an equivalent Western product?

Having built a few track cars, one item we were very aware of is FRP flammability.
I've seen a number of such installations spontaneously combust due to proximity to exhaust systems alone.
While 911s might be a bit more susceptible, the 914/6 and the Cayman these days would still, I suggest need decent clearances and / or heat shields - check out the inside of your old clip to start?

Enjoying the work!

 

Thanks for tips guys.

The opening for the exhaust is quite bigger now and i do plan on doing some sort of heat shielding just not sure what yet.

 

Little more done today

 

Im digging the darkened tail lights

 

just a quick update on the weekends bumper work.

so the part under the pass headlight that was missing some material(up in the beginning of the thread) I filled in. I didn't get any pics of the the finished spot but the front bumper is now painted as well. i'll get some pics asap.





Finally finished the front wiring harness for the fog lights to plug into the harness.

Sold one of my project cars this weekend as well so now that the audi is gone i moved my wifes vette over to the bench area so we can start tackling it. My cave is a work in progress but hopefully by end of summer i'll have all the trim up, floors epoxied, and dry bar area finished.

 

Wow!

Just wow!

 

wow as in wow neat or wow this old fart really messed up his car lol

 

Sometimes it's a vice to be able to see a word or phrase as having two possible meanings!

I meant "this old fart is knocking it out of the park!" :-)

 

Thanks, its been fun. It's going slower then I wish but its getting there.

 

Rat the stuff from the OEM clip?
