911S"L" update

Like most projects, sandblasting reveals all of the sins, and this chassis was no exception. Rust was found in the usual places of a 9 series; the floorpan, the front suspension pan, rear window area, etc.

The chassis is looking much better than it did after disassembly!

It still needs about 30 hours of detailing; removing little clips here and there, welding in screw holes from the screwy previous owner, and removing the last bits of undercoating that the blaster couldn't reach.

After that, it will be off to the fab shop for the rollcage.

If you've noticed, I've been posting consistently for the last few days....don't get excited, my pace on the project is not that quick, I'm just getting the readers up to date.
