My ultimate goal is to make my Carrera "new" again, a paint job is part of this goal.

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.

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.

Yes, refinish same color.

I am changing a lot of parts for this vehicle, Amber fog lamps and European rear fog lamp, all available from Porsche.

I am going to have a surplus of clear fog lamp lens, complete brake discs,pads,shoes and hoses plus all engine oil hoses, all are in good condition.

More pictures tomorrow.
