So after test fitting wings to almost perfect it was time to make sure I am never bothered with rust again.

Far more common than people expect; mine showed almost no symptoms one side, and absolutely nothing on the off side.
Last one is gratuitous end shot before I sold her.

That is actually not too bad! Considering Porsche is still selling body panel parts for a car that went out of production 30 years ago, which is great already.

How many hours does it take for the bodyshop to do the repair?

Thanks for sharing, very interesting!

Nice thread. Sadly I suspect ALL air cooled will do this eventually.

Just be glad your wings are Turbo wings yikes

It seems the quality of parts coming out of Porsche these days is way below what you would expect.

I replaced the rear spoiler and it’s crap, my friend sent 5 back, The parts dept. Was full of utter crap ones. I’ve seen a lot of classic parts that are well below standard.

After discussing paint with bodyshop it was decided to bare metal bonnet rather than blend paint

yes

3 O/S doors. We gave up in the end, and had to fix the fault before being able to use the new part.

4 front bumpers, all rejected due to the top face being wobblier than dog's back leg. They got the message in the end, but it was painful process, and this was 10 years ago ...

On the face of it, what Porsche is doing in supplying new parts for what are now old cars, appears very laudable, but they've not invested in new tooling, instead they've dragged the old tooling out of retirement, done little or nothing to it in the way of refurbishment, then found the the cheapest companies to produce the parts, and are not bothering with the standard of QC they would have applied when the cars were originally built, AND they're charging a premium "Because they can".
