The continuing saga of man vs. rust...
Today I put the finishing touches on the right side of the '66 912 I've been restoring on-and-off since January.
Here's one of those photos that I just love doing, before and after. In this case the before is the point of maximum rusty sheetmetal removal before welding new steel back in:
Here's the part I'm particularly proud of, total conformance to factory spec, a uniform 3mm door gap all the way around! If you've been following this project on my blog, this is the side of the car that had been damaged in a collision and the door was pushed back to the point where it touched the lockpost prior to being pulled out on a frame rack. The bottom 2" of the door is also all new steel.
Last but not least, here's how a new rubber door threshold mat looks set in place (and a nice view of the new floorpans):
I appreciate all the supportive feedback you guys have given me on my past postings and love when I can share a milestone with you all!
