"Metal work covered in primer"? The listing says "media blasted and primered" that seems pretty straightforward to me. If not, think of it this way - all the paint etc is removed and then primer is sprayed on to protect the bare metal. I had the media blaster leave the factory texture on the back of the hood since it is in great shape still. The only other primer is over bare metal where the front of the rear fenders have to be removed and rewelded on to correctly install the rockers, 3/4 of the roof was sanded down to bare metal because the paint was badly blistered and we primered over the bare metal. We also sanded down any rust blisters here and there to make sure there was no cancer underneath - then the bare metal was primered.
The heavy lifting has been done on this car. The rockers(inner and outer), front suspension pan and upper rear parcel shelf were installed by a very experienced Porsche metal worker. The spot welds were drilled with the proper German tool and the NOS, Stoddard & Restoration Design pieces carefully fitted and welded to emulate the factory spot welds in strength and appearance. Now it is a rather simple matter for the new owner to either repaint the car or have a professional do the work. Feel free to have a professional come by and inspect for yourselves.
Concerning other comments made regarding this car - as my father always said, I would urge people to consider the source of each one. There are some people who's opinion I appreciate and give due consideration. Others are very entertaining in a comical way.
Someone correctly pointed out that it isn't 2014 anymore. But I must also point out that it's not 2016 anymore either. There is one huge factor that some people are either unaware of or don't appreciate the implications of - the Euro is worth over 10% more than it has been worth for the past couple years. Over half of the Porsches I sold over the past 10 years went to Europe. Recently that had subsided. However, much of the serious interest in the auction and bidding is once again coming from Europeans. I predict that in the near future some "experts" will once again be regretting not purchasing 911S's when the market was down - maybe they will even figure out that the buyers weren't "nuts" after all. I'm certainly glad I don't share their pessimistic views on the current and future market for these great cars.
