Modifications

Exterior

I decided to purchase the car even though it was a colour that did not appeal to me. A few days before it was purchased, I had made arrangements with a highly recommended shop that agreed to let me do a lot of the work myself. E.G. - Taking it apart, including letting me assist in the complete, in and out paint stripping with 'Dulux's' auto-aircraft paint stripper; like every crack and cranny. The shop helped me to reinstall the doors, hoods, glass, and I then carried on with the rest of the assembly.

It was painted with PPG's premium two-stage acrylic urethane, baked oven cured. No colour sanding was required, only a light compound polishing.

I used only Genuine Porsche parts througout, which included new seals - e.g. doors, front and rear glass, 1/4 side windows, front fenders, hood, trunk, door handles, all lights, ect. I completely replaced all of the many variety of seals on the car. Also installed, were new front and rear park/signal/brake light lenses, windshield washer nozzles, wipers, etc.

I also had all of the doors hardware, the front and rear hood latch-ware zinc replated, including an assortment of bolts, nuts, washers, springs, hose clamps etc..It ended up being more of a restoration than just a colour change.

Interior

Black Basketweave - Blaupunkt AM-FM radio

Due to some very minor sun damage in one spot, the dash pad was also replaced with a Genuine Porsche pad. The rest of the interior was in excellent condition.

Performance Upgrades

Engine / Under the Hood

All of the tin work in the engine compartment, including the carb filters, were paint stripped, etch primed, primer- undercoated, then sanded and repainted with a semi gloss black, which was also done with PPG's acrylic urethane.

The fan housing was polished, with the fan blades being prepped, etch primed, primer undercoated and painted red using the same - PPG's acrylic urethane, and bake oven cured. A 'very' detailed engine, and engine compartment.

Wheels and Tires

Option: Fuchs alloys, including the spare - I had all of them polished.
