Is it the same color as before or different ?

I know it looks similar but it's a Porsche colour this time.

Damn granny that was fast. 

I have the winter off so spending 8-9 hrs out in the shop 7 days week, sure beats working.

I seam sealed again before undercoating the car and got her down off the rotisserie. I should have the rest of the suspension installed tomorrow and back down on the wheels by the end of the day.  I've been trying to keep the shop as warm as I can to fully cure the clearcoat.  Some guys start sanding after 24hrs but that's got to be California, I think I'll block it out with 1500 to break the surface and let it out gas for another week.

 

I started wet blocking with 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500, finished that up yesterday and started cut and buff this morning, one more day and I'll have the paint done😊😊😊

 

Wow - serious shine !

That really does look Great!, Nice work.

The hood was the last piece to be done today, tomorrow I start dropping the engine back in.

 

Well I'm just waiting on the new LED headlights and the recovered dash to arrive before I can finish everything up. Engine is in, gas tank installed, all the brakes done and bled and I reconfigured the exhaust system so there is more ground clearance. @Careless gave me hand getting the glass in the other day, thanks again Raf.

Thanks Chas but in this case I'm just restoring my own modifications,  real restorers might take offense

I'm installing the LED sequential tails from Easy Performance for the new owner. The kit is very well made and the lights are very brights but there is one major flaw in their design, the microprocessor that allows 7 different modes of sequencing can't tell the difference between you putting the signal on or you hitting the brakes. So you slam on the brakes and the guy tailgating you doesn't see brake lights, he sees the taillights going through an entire sequence, red and amber moving lights first before the brake lights come on,  about 1.5-2 second delay before the solid, unblinking brake lights start.

 

Confusing, dangerous and I'm sure probably illegal.  The only way to have normal brake lights is to have no sequential signals at all, the very thing you bought the kit for in the first place.

 

And there she goes to a new home, I'll still get to see it few times each summer which is good but I don't mind telling you I shed a little tear as she left.
