You need to pull the front windshield and check the corners as well. Mine wasn't as bad, few little holes in rear seat area and deck. I grinded the hell out of them, wire wheeled them; navel jellied them, primed them, patched them with FG and sealed them.

Yep, the problem with the w/s pillars is already showing. It's on my list. The problem with the w/s pillars is that you have to shoot color when you're done. I already have several shades of Gemini blue on this car. I'm holding off for a while. I really do need new control arm bushings.

I like your approach for rust. About 5 years ago I did the wire wheel trick. I used duct tape and the painted everything with red oxide primer. I bought 5 years with that technique.

I normally budget $2,000 a year for collector cars. I spent a lot more on the 911 this year but I had neglected it for a few years. You can't do that with a collector car.

Richard,

The seats look fantastic, would be really great if mine would turn out like that. At the moment I'm still removing the rest of the interior.

I will remover both rear and front windshield and I'm expecting to find more rust, but I'm hopefull the damage won't be so bad... Fingers crossed ;)
