very rusty sills

Interesting photos. Looks like you have got more than just the sills being done. I assume there was other rust up the side of the car? I guess they will take the rubbing strips off the car before spraying?
 
Hi Paul,

Having a full respray done and what you see are small "plukes" as the painter called them. Also fitting 17" cup 1's, turbo PU's front & rear and changing some seals.

Still need to re-do the seats but that can wait till next year ...

 
Hi,

As I mentioned earlier in the post, I am using the bodyshop we use at our garage and as they are doing it in their spare time, I am now paying £1000 all in including the refurb of the Cup 1's in proper Porsche Zermatt silver.

I have put up a breakdown of he restoration here: www.944s.co.uk

 
You don't want your wheels refurbed in Zermatt - it's got a gold tinge and it will look [:'(]
 
Any true silver would do IMO. If you want to go with a Porsche colour then you want crystal silver rather than Zermatt.
 
I've been to the paintshop today and had a look at the colours and you've got a point about the Zermatt silver. I've told them to paint the wheels in as bright a silver as they can.

I'm getting the car back on Friday the 30th. Unfortunately i'll only have it for a week then away on holiday for 2 weeks ... then the road tax is due the week after I get back ... typical!
 
Do you go to any of the local PCGB meetings? I haven't been to one for ages but wouldn't mind turning up one night and having a look at your paintjob: I've been mulling over getting my (tatty) 944 done. How did you get on with your turbo PU questions (something else I fancy getting done -- think the old PU is just about ok when you have the foglight delete option, but with foglights, as mine is, it just looks far too cluttered...)
 
Hi Paul,

I did go to one in February but not been back to one since. Might try to go
to next one at the Hawes.

The paintwork was done on Friday but I haven't been along to see the car
yet. I'll get along on Wedneday and the car should be well on its way to
being reassembled.

I've been told I should get it back on Friday and i'll post some pics then.


Derek

Hi DB, I'm thinking about gettting the body work on mine done again. That link you have posted above is dead, is the article anywhere else, thanks?
 
pity red doesn't show very well on a monitor . looks tasty all the same.Did you do any of the prep yourself? or did the garage do it all.?

I would love to spray mine in this colour but I have no idea what colour or even whoose car it is so apologies to the owner

Looks like Seal Grey to me (quite a popular colour for Boxsters/996 a couple of years ago). For shy sports car owners I suppose... (Glib remark made without much thought!! Not intended to start a war!!)
