Morning all, so my friendly panelbeater discovered a little rust in both front floor pans.  ( Not really surprised ) . So ordered two new ones from Palmside and I'll get him to fit an automatic transmission tunnel at the same time he fits them. 

So I have managed to find an awesome friendly panelbeater to carry out the rust repairs. Any panels I can't buy  he is fabricating.  

Update. 18 months later I removed the front guards, front panel and a whole lot of bog to reveal rust.... lots of rust. 

Hmmmm.... It's a 1985  Porsche 944, is this considered a small car  these days ? 

Cheers, will give them a call on Monday. 

Yes it is, but it's been stored for the last 8 years and don't want to risk driving it all the way back.

Hi there everyone. Can anyone recommend a cheap way to get a car transported from Hastings to Auckland ie a backload or private arrangement. 

Cheers Steve

Got a bit carried away with the stripper (  ) and did one side while i was at it...

After discussing my plans for this with my painter he said he needs to see whats under all the primer, so have started removing layer upon layer of primer and previous colours... I'd like to know some history of this if possible. It was bright green at some point.

I was very surprised/relieved to find the roof and gutters in excellent condition,

You have a bent strut,  the difference you have shown between the tyre and strut body ( about 15mm ) shows this.
