This project has been really testing my new found skills. Last night I had some free time and decided to clean the rocker panel on the driver side since I removed the spring plates to have them reconditioned. Under all the dirt and schutz there it was RUST on the lower driver fender. Almost in the same spot as the passenger but not nearly as bad.
So this afternoon I removed the driver side fender and I’m glad I did, because the stone guard above the strut tower was being eaten away by contact surface rust.
After removing the stone guard on the inner lower driver fender it was evident the rust has been eaten way at the metal for some time. So it was my duty to make sure the rest of the Porsche had no rust. I spent the rest of the afternoon looking for rust in every crevice. Now I’m confident to report there’s no other rust to fix.
Apparently Porsche front fenders are common for rust, since the stone guard wears off after all years. So keep a look out for rust on your front fenders guys!
Driver side fender will also be sent to Shaun at Tru 6 restoration for the repairs.
I will continue to keep you guys posted on my progress!
