After stripping the trim and removing all paint from the corrosion areas, we found that both B pillars and outer sill areas were rotten. We quickly sourced replacement panels and started marking out how much metal needed to be replaced. These areas were cut out and new panels welded in slowly helping this car take shape.

Unfortunately the passenger's side front wing had seen better days and we decided that no amount of repair would look right or last so this panel also needed to be replaced.

Again we tried to source a good (yet this time second hand) replacement, but we had no such luck as most of these cars were suffering the same problem. Therefore we bit the bullet and bought a brand new wing/fender directly from Porsche, which at roughly £500.00 each is not an easy purchase to make! Well worth it though, as the final finished car will show.

Now that the welding is completed and we have all the replacement panels, we can start the paint preparation. Any repaired areas on the Porsche are reshaped and paint edges feathered back completely smooth. The rest of the body is rubbed down and imperfections removed to provide a good keyed surface for the primer.
