if memory serves the primer is self etching
-
im sorry about the pic quality i left my camera at home so i used my phone, whats left to do now is disasemble some parts ie lights front/back, mirrors and a few other bits so that the car can be sanded down for the primer sealer then base coat and then clear coating all of this will be done in a day if all goes well. here is the car after the door/fender strip prime job
-
to nutralize the stripper you only need to wash the panel then dry and sand after sanding the first primer coat was sprayed on 15 minz later the second coat

the damage you see there is why it was auctioned off i am a diy guy and parts that need to be replaced have already been replaced except for the levers for the clamshell and the rag top,the interior has been dried and like i say all works well including the alarm the tires will be relpaced as soon as i can get those pita locks off some smart a swiped most of the tools out of the kit, so far i have spent about $350 on the cable for the top,antifreeze,hydriolic oil and rods for the top from the collection in miami also found the clamshell levers on ebay $50 for the pair so the only thing i dont have a price on yet is the paint and supplies and i forgot to mention this is a deal to me since i get a car that in my opinion doesnt need much work (which i am going to enjoy doing myself) that was/is below wholesale price for the year and mileage (81k) if i attempted to by this car in the bahamas at retail it would cost me about 30-35k+ since import tax here is 57% of purchace price, so agin for me this is a deal/project -

hi all this is my first post here and i am now a p-car owner i bought a 2000 boxster at auction for $5500+ fees now there are issues with the car such as it was parked near another car that was on fire, so the top melted along with the drivers door mirror, the same door has fire damage in the form of paint burned off, aswell as the intake vent on the same side started to melt, the interior is wet due to the top bieng damaged and so far i have replaced the drivers side top trans cable and the rods on both sides for the top i also need to get the clamshell top levers (found on ebay for $25 each) and a top of course and my top will be fixed. Heres the good news every thing works on the car the top(even tho the rag isnt on it yet) works nice and smooth seems all of the micro switches work since the windows drop when the dors are opened also drops to drop the top so far i think i got a break i have a porcshe that i got kinda cheap that will provide me with entertainment to fix as well as drive here are some pics let me kno what you guys think good and bad
