Hey steve, post some pictures if you can!

post some pics of your 911 as well!

also, these days, there are many "dent guys" that can remove dings quite easily with great results and no paint damage.
That may be the way to go for you... I had a WRX done with about 8-10 and it cost about $150 canadian!!!

Spent much of the day tearing out old window tint and gave her a good old fashioned cleaning...and still more to do. Even found the jack that the PO thought was lost...tells you what a good size trunk these things have...not used to this kind of space back there. Thought about snapping some shots but it got dark before she was even halfway presentable. I suppose the first photos will serve as the "Before" that I will happily (at some distant point) compare against the "After". I'll try to post them tomorrow.

I've had a few dents pulled in the past on other vehicles and may go that way again. Trying to think of how best to approach this before a paint job..although not until next year probably at the earliest. I suppose getting the dings worked is better than having the body shop do it in prep for painting...hmmm..

Now headlight and foglights needed to get her through VA inspection - priority #1. Then new wheels and tires...what are on now are appalling and I had to get past them to see the car. Just that alone will make a massive inprovement. Of course choosing wheels with all the choices out there...wow. Gotta go reasonable though or I shoot any semblance of daily driver right out of her.

Man..my back hurts...

More to come!

Trying the 911 pics here but it tells me file is too large. I'll try and figure that out later...geez.
