Default Photoshoot with my 72' Porsche (Must See!)

Hey everybody!

I haven't posted in a while as i've been really busy with school and working on projects. One of the projects I am just finishing up is my work on this 1972 Porsche 914 that was willed to me when my grandpa passed away last year. It didn't run too well when i got it because it had sat for 20 years, and it needed a rebuild. It also needed new tires, and some random electrical fixes. Well, i finished all of that last thursday and then I spent all of yesterday (6/29) detailing the inside and outside. I washed it twice, then clay barred it, then polished it with a random orbital 3 different times, then sealed it the finally waxed it. The interior was completely conditioned as well.

It was really tiring but I am really proud of how it turned out! Let me know what you guys think

That looks amazing.

My boss when I worked at Rennline had a 914 Bumblebee (still does actually) I helped him with the bodywork by dropping a sheet of plywood onto the deck lid, corner first.

Needless to say, your car looks much nicer.
