904-067
August 29, 2003
Still
turning chicken shit into chicken salad.
Everything
has to be rebuilt and redone, even places you don't ever see.
These
pictures are of the front cavity that contains the steering
rack, master cylinder, and fuel pumps.
This area
is normally overlooked. In most of the 904s that have been
in any kind of an accident, these areas are delaminated and
have to be removed and reattached.
While
the car is upside down, it's a lot easier to restore these
areas.
The picture
on the left is black paint over silver. The picture on the
right is stripped to raw fiberglass.
These
are the PVC brake air inlets in nearly perfect shape (very
rare).
The bottom
of the car is now painted with the second coat of duratech.
The frontal
area is primed and the front cavity is repaired and primed.
The fender
wells are completely repaired and sanded for the first coat
of black primer.
Primer
applied.
The duratech
has been block sanded for the second time and two layers of
gray urethane primer have been applied.
Urethane on the frontal area also.
