mrdunlop944 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi Loc! This is going to be one amazing CARRERA. The Chemical stripping process is a thing of art, look at how it crawls along blistering the paint.... Easy clean up haha Thanks for calling me and sharing your excitement yesterday, I really look forward to seeing this complete.

cosmos Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Body after initial paint stripping, most of the original galvanized till intact, happy and lucky ! Look like some body filler at front of the Hood but I saw no body work there. The Left Fender till has original paint. Quote 2018 991.2 GTS 2018 Cayenne 1989 Carrera 3.2 Link to comment
