Aerosol Paint ?

You can protect the bare alloy using a product called Polytrol.

The Steel fittings are thinly Plated, the Aluminium Filter will corrode in time and would benefit from painting or an application

of ACF-50

On new metal ACF-50 forms a self-healing barrier that prevents corrosion from starting. ACF-50 remains physically and chemically effective for up to two years.

Is the Polytrol product you refer the "Colour restorer" Penetrating Oil?

I used corrosion X on all the ALI parts that were not painted ,,,also used on all the zinc plated bits so they keep the colour

nice work[]

I also completed the conversion of the front struts to Bilstein inserts

This makes me ever so slightly tumescent...

Out standing Paul but then again anyone who knows you wouldn't expect any different

 

[sweetcorne]

A few of my previous restorations, there's been quite a few, I'm not new to the spanner's .....

I'll be aiming to equal these if not better with the current 944

1983 RS1600i

1978 RS2000

3.9 V8 TR7 built from a bare NOS shell

My last 944S2, a nice genuine car that just had a deep deep clean

I've just read this from start to finish and it's amazing the results you are getting are brilliant I picked up my first 944 last year as a project with my dad and we are in the process of stripping parts and having them refinished before they go back onto the car with new fixings and clips

 

[Frenchy]

Rudds, just realised you got a red thing going on with your cars past and present.

 

[Mike_Pollock]

Hi Danny,

Would love to see some pictures of progress of your car.

Please feel free to start a thread for it

Cheers

Mike
