DAY 14 & 15: STRIPPING THE FRONT END OFF MY PORSCHE 356!

If you asked me whether it would take very long to take off my Porsche's (Trouble's ) rear lights, reflectors, front indicators, headlights, fog lights and decorative horn grills, I would have said no. Each is held on with no more than 3 small fastenings and all are relatively accessible.
Oh how wrong I was.
Most of these I didn't even undo. Watch to find out how they ended up coming off....
To find out what me and Trouble get up to during the week, follow @thestoryoftrouble on Instagram and don't forget to subscribe if you enjoy watching her journey back to the road.

Ah, your learning, it’s hard isn’t it! Welcome to classic car restoration!

All this work and the wheels, shocks, transmission tunnel and the headliner STILL need to come out before sand- blasting! 😅 I’m only watching on my sofa and I’m exhausted! You have the patience of a saint haha. I just wanna see her back to brand new again lol 😩

[@thestoryoftrouble]

😂😂😂 for context it took about 30 days to completely strip her…15 more days to go!

Is that your mum making all the racket in the background? 😂 She’s really going at it! I’ve seen her work…most excellent! Way to persevere with those fiddle bits!

[@thestoryoftrouble]

Yes it is 😂 I didn’t realise how noisy it was till I watched it all back 🙃 She was a life saver helping scrape all the old under seal off 🙌🏼 Thank you!

My 356 had so much Bondo (filler) in places, including places it was absolutely unnecessary, they must have had a sale on it…but 1, get 5 free. I found if you heat it up a bit with a propane torch, it will scrape off like butter.

Nooo 😭 whoever owned Trouble before me must have gone to the same store, used one of the cans then given your guy the rest! Her nose has had its fair few knocks…so many I’ve bought a new clip 🙃 Thank you for the tip!

[@victordenolf7128]

The only "easy" way to get rid of filler is heating until it gets black ish and then scraping it

[@thestoryoftrouble]

Thank you, noted for next time 🙌🏼
