So got round to popping the rear quarter windows out with not to much trouble all looking fine other than some very minor surface bubbling on the pass side which will rub up no problems . Also pulled an old tracking system that was hidden in the dash which I have no paperwork for more weight removed heavy little battery on that tracker :thumb: Bodywork/painter is coming to have a look at the car tomorow

Nearly finished then :oops: Is the car running on Bilsteins?
 
Did you plan to go this far when you started Gaz , as in actually stripping all the paint off , looks like fun but time taking . I look forward to seeing the finished job. :worship: k
 
Some of the smaller bits done today rear roof spoiler 993 door handles look lovely polished seems a shame to paint them, after some lovely sunshine yesterday back to the bloody snow today.

Yes they are Bilsteins, that was last years winter project, should be finished this year sometime !and yes Keith the intention was always for a back to metal respray because of the bits of bodywork really wanted to know if there was anything else hiding the car also had multi coloured panels,bumpers,mirrors etc and stripping it myself to keep the costs down.

I'm impressed with progress, have you wandered what you've got yourself into yet?
 
A couple more jobs of the tick list tonight got the hole drilled for the wiring for the rear roof spoiler , and removed the A/C engine bay much cleaner without it that blower is going to get pulled at some point . car heading to paint the next couple of weeks hopefully struggled to get the rear screen out so will leave it to the guys in the paintshop. crap pictures from the phone
