Werkstatte

The first Saturday of every month, the "European Auto Salvage Yard" or EASY, plays host to a growing number of Porsche enthusiasts for their "Cars and Coffee" events. Lately they have taken to filling both sides of the street, piling Porsches in nearly on top of one another. It is quite a spectacle to see, and worth a trip to the SF Bay area if you are nearby. After an invite from a 912 enthusiast, we decided to check it out, to see what all the hubbub was about. We were not disappointed.

We're working on the interior and glass installation on our 911 project.  It's nice to be on the homestretch on this long-term project.  

The event is June 6th and 7th.  Please click for the vendor registration form.

We visited this year's Amelia Island Concours and the Gooding Auction.  We came away impressed with the quality of machinery—as did a lot of folks with healthy bank accounts. The auction results were outstanding.  

George Malos of Davis, Illinois is working on the restoration of his 1966 912. George is the original owner of the car.  It was originally Polo Red, but it was damaged during initial delivery and repainted green.  

 One of our favorite parts of the Lit Meet weekend is what we call the Shop Crawl. Many of the Porsche-centric businesses and restoration shops in the Los Angeles area open their doors to visitors to show off their wares. 

The crew here at Stoddard is at the 31st annual Porsche and Volkswagen Literature and Memorabilia Swap Meet at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton Hotel.  We took a bunch of pictures of the event to share with our customers.  

We installed a new Stoddard dashboard for our 911 over the weekend.  The new dash (SIC-552-051-037-09) is an exact replacement for the original Porsche dash pad and is a small chunk of change less expensive than the Factory versions.
