It was originally Kelly/Viper Green. Biggest problem I can see is where will I ever get the formula for the paint? Oh I know! I bet my paint store will have it. I'll just give them a call.

I can't help but wonder how many more gallons of Viper Green have been sprayed than Porsche sprayed when building the cars...

Wait 2 years and pick it up for half of what went into it.
Wait, I don't see a sunroof, make that a third.

Thanks alot. Despite the naysaying, I think I'll do just fine on this car, thank you. It's a '72E with Carrera suspension and original (type) drivetrain.

So Bill, how is the engine coming?
I wish you luck on the restore, I did a couple and never got out what I put into it. Maybe because they weren't Porsches. |

I've come out fine on cars that were apart or partial or basket cases. You can do it if you're careful. Remember, most of these cars need to come completely apart sooner or later in the restoration process. And the days of the sub-$3K 911 project car are gone. Now any complete project is $6K, even if it's not running. (I'm talking mainly '72/73 coupes) the upside is a market value in the high teens.

I think he was saying that the project car would cost 6K to start with. Up here it would cost me 5K to do the engine myself, about 10K for a right paint job and about 3K for interior. So I end up with 24K car selling in high teens.
I stopped doing paint and body work over ten years ago.
