My Red '97

Always love to read your posts. I think this one is going to turn out great, and red cars are faster too!

Hasbro sent me his dirty old Dansk Sausage. I've decided where I'm going to put it, but I should probably clean that dark, crusty stuff off first...



I'm going to try Chuck's formula from post 16 here: http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/56379-installed-pse-porsche-sport-exhaust-photos.html

to get it to look more like this:

I spent a couple hours in the morning and again in the afternoon cleaning up the Dansk. I'm at work, waiting for actual work, so it's just a productive way to pass the time. I hadn't taken a picture of the bottom side of the muffler, but it was coated with burnt black paint.


I used some acetone and a scraper on the worst parts, then a nylon wheel and 3M pad on a sander.


It looks pretty much like a normal muffler now. Tomorrow, I'm planning to use a Dremel on some of the smaller spots, then work towards more of a polished finish. There's one weld on a bracket that needs to be repaired. The rest of it is in good shape.

I used a some 'Rust Gel' to clean some of the stains, that weren't polishing out, then polished it. Now it has a nice uniform stainless steel shine.

During the week, I'll fix the cracked weld(s) on the mounting brackets, then see how it looks and sounds on the car.
