Matt, It doesn't matter what color they are, it's the fun they give us on the road! Bali Blue is a very nice color and if you like it why repaint it. Basic conserving these old beauties is of main importance.
The '65/66' has number 455 xxx, so from what I found it was build during the end of '65 at the Karmann plant.
Peter, pay attention to the sunroof. A good working one is a real joy on sunny days during spring time. My '68 cocoa brown has one and we love it. BTW, why not keeping these shades of grey and white. Just clear coat it and you will have a unique 912 ...
Dave, my work on the 912 has almost been finished so documenting it from now on doesn't make sense, I think. I made a lot of photos from several specific projects and parts, like rebuilding cv joints, leading, replacing specific seals and bushings, recovering the dash top - over 700 holes for the speaker - several "electrickery" problems and so on. So if there are any questions, don't hesitate and I will try to describe/document a solution as best as I can. With the comments and input from other readers we could make threads for specific subjects. This prevents chaotic threads with lots of posts with no relevance to the subject.
Well, regarding the paint job, it's nice but not perfect! There are some imperfections, but I hope I can touch up these when the car is finished and drivable.
