    powder coating is the way to go - especially on this over the top beauty. I am in the process of having a set of Cromodora 'daytona' cd 35 magnesium wheels powdercoated for my pristine Alfa Romeo. I found a virtually identical to original powdercoat color and should have the wheels back - perhaps within a week. Let me know if you want the color code reference...I will have to research it with the fellow doing the work. He did the wheels on my Range Rover in this exact color as well - kind of a duller gray color. The result on those wheels is awesome! Love your car and the job you are doing!! More photos of that lovely blue body!!!

    More engine work, flywheel, clutch, bell housing, transfer case, starter and alternator. Also worked on a few leather pieces, stripping all the old stuff off and removing the gross disintegrated foam. My son was home from college so he got that job :) He did clean them up pretty nice.

    It would be nice to have just a picture thread to look back on and to lock this thread as a permanent part of the site, Now if we could only get you to do one of EVERY car out, it would be truly invaluable to all... Good work and I can't wait to see this car running, even only if in pictures cause I am in Pennsylvania and you are on the other side of the world...

    I didn't realize how tedious the leather work would be. It goes very slow. I am almost done with all the trim parts. I took the parts that have to be sewed to Autos International around the corner from me. They always have half a dozen or more 356 Porsches in all varieties. They do beautiful work. The rear window is going in Thurs. Pictures to follow.

    Thank you very much for your response, this is a great thread, and you do incredible work. I always look at it since JJay 911 told me about this thread. I am sure it will turn out perfect, just like the rest of the work you have done so far.

    More trim work today. I did finish all my leather work and started putting on the door sills and the trim around the door latch. I got a Newco screw trim kit but it didn't have the stainless screws for the sill or door trim. More calls, more wait. I also picked up my wheels which I had powdercoated. After looking at a lot of colors I ended up with Silver Titanium with a clear coat. I'm happy with them. Tomorrow is the back window. Everybody cross your fingers for me!

    Maybe this has been asked before, but:

    How much time do you think you have into this project so far?

    by the way, you are the man!

    I would say I average 20 hours per week. I've been at it for a year and a half. I'm sure somebody who knew what they were doing could do the project in considerably less time.

    OMGJON,

    Have you given any thought to weighing the engine before you reinstall it? Or the entire engine/transaxle assembly?

    Jon,
    If you get into a bind on stainless screws, give Specialty Tool & Bolt in Santa Barbara a call. Amazing inventory of stainless hardware. 805-968-3581. They have a website www.sbbolts.com but if you want price and delivery, call. They can ship UPS or FedEx and you can have parts the next day. Good folks.
    John

    P.S. Wheel looks GOOD!

    Thanks John. I've checked their website, pretty extensive. I wish we had a place like that in San Diego.

    Do you know about Marshalls off Miramar on Distribution Avenue? May not be as good as the website place, but works in a pinch.

    The rear window is back in. No breakage. It was the best $150.00 I spent. He knew just how much that glass would flex, and it takes every bit of that to get it back in. I finished the sills and my last box to refurbish has risen to the top of the heap. For some reason I just kept shoving it to the rear. It's all the window stuff. No excuses now.

    Thank god that window didn't break, I don't think you could find something like that anywhere in the world anymore... The drivetrain goes in next? or all the interior pieces?
