Werkstatte

We're still chipping (well, grinding) away at our 911 to get it back to the original paint surface where we can.  Portions of the car are back to bare steel.   We're taking care to remove all previous filler so we can start fresh.  

We get the pedal cluster back in our 911 and continue on the preparation for paint.  

We sponsor the 356 Club of Southern California's Dana Point Concours every year and this year's event was an impressive success.  Here's a selection of our shots from the event—what a beautiful crop of cars! 

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.
