The work has continued over the last 2 nights.
First the prepping was finished and then primed.
Then last night the car was painted in Porsche GT3 Meteor Grey Metallic (I know it will not be approved by some but the car is never going to go back to the standard specification or have the burgundy plaid interior re fitted)

I think that's a lovely colour for it. Stuff originality, it wasn't going to survive at all otherwise! [

The owner Steve flatted back the paint then machine polished it up.
I will ask him what he used to flat it back

It will have Black Leather sports interior fitted with the black dash etc.
Not ment to be rude, but changing Silver Rose color to something else and also switching Super Groovy '80's color interior to dull black is like cutting Stuttgart Stallion's balls and change it to be a gelding []
Somehow all these funky Porsche interiors looks good to my eyes. I like all Silver Rose, Special Edition '88 and Pasha fabrics a lot.
How about interior paint? For example some of the trunk area's parts are not behind the carpets. Also some parts of C-pillar are not covered by the side trim.

Olli, personally I agree with you as I have a Silver Rose and have just retrimmed my seats with new cloth.
But this car had all the correct parts removed and it wouldn't have been viable to save it if you were trying to take it back to original spec.
This way another 944 Turbo S is saved from being broken up into parts

The interior parts that will be visible are all going to be painted as is the boot floor and engine bay
OK, Martin explanation accepted []
At least it was not painted red... Sometimes i have played with an idea changing my Satin Black (too many of them around here) to Nile Green, which was available also in 1988. Like this :
Back then this color was not so popular. Don't know why, but now it's one of my favourite colors.
