Werkstatte

Initially, we thought we were just going to get this car running and leave the paint as-is.  However, we're starting to go down that slippery slope towards a full restoration. As Br'er Rabbit would say, "Please don't throw us in that briar patch..."

It can be said that the enemy of "done" is "better." and we occasionally hear this phrase when we're talking about Porsche restorations.  While at first, this might seem like a defeatist attitude, the truth of the matter is that this idea could be applied realistically to even best concours-winning restorations. The trick is to know when to recognize that you're going overboard and deal with it. 

Adam Church bought a 1973 911T and like many of us, found some unexpected suprises....

We attended last weekend's Cars and Coffee event in Irvine, California.  Lots of beautiful and (or) interesting cars on display! 

We reinstalled the engine in our 911T over the weekend—and get it running after 15 years of dormancy. 

Our Blue 911s comes home from the shop after being gone for nearly 9 months.  

Before we get too nuts and paint the underside of our 1973 911, we shot some images of how the car was painted from the factory.  

Michael Broughton from Australia sent us some images of his 356 that he's racing in a historic series there. It's nice to see vintage tin being pushed around!  

We love a good project car blog—and Darryl's Deppe's blog is a great one.  

Sterling is working on the wiring of his 911.  He started out doing one thing and wound up doing a whole lot more.  A few pictures tell the story.
