1985 Porsche Carrera 3.2 Coupe
All caught up to today. Spent the day working on the bumpers. Cut out the whole for the center grill as well as filled the side marker hole with fiberglass. Really like the way the IROC front bumpers only have the indicator in place and wanted to replicate that look. Also made cutouts for the M&K center exit exhaust on the rear bumper. Feathered the bumper with 220 grit followed by 2 coats of featherfill. The two coats gave enough thickness to block out the bumper laser straight to 400 grit. Just need to finish the rear bumper and chin spoiler. Then going to use epoxy reduced 25% as a sealer and its ready for paint. Next week the car will get sandblasted to bare metal and the body work begins after a couple coats of SPI epoxy. Curious to see what I find under all the filler I keep finding on the car. Still on the wall about painting it myself. I'd like to and the savings would be a great deal, but I don't want to mess it up. Ive only done minor body work before and painted spoilers and other small parts before. I'll decide once I finish laying down the epoxy. So far I'm very pleased with how the bumper came out.
