Hi folks. Does anyone have any experience of these people? Up on the wild moors at Ipstones, between Buxton, Asbourne and Stoke (postcode ST10 2NG). In the middle of nowhere, doesn't advertise - not even a sign on the lane outside his workshop. He's done an Audi RS2 for a mate of mine, who was extremely pleased with the result but says it was not cheap. He's a hands-on boss who doesn't "half do" jobs; all or nothing: Jag C-types, XK140s and 150s, E-types, DB2s. Says he's done 944s and 911s before; runs a 964 himself. Thinking of getting mine restored, but it's a sharp intake of breath before laying out his kind of cash. I went up there last Tuesday and came away impressed, if a little shaky at the cost. Wondering if any NW or Cheshire & Staffs guys have met him. Tim. |

Hi Brett. Still awaiting a written estimate, but he gave me a verbal for the 968. Sitting down? Then I'll begin. - labour (glass out, doors n trim off) £6-8k - paint £800 - parts as needed on a 23-year old car - £2k? - VAT at 20% All up, wrong side of £13,000! Result would be concours though. He's also done 30s stuff like Cord 810 and Talbot T23. Question is: even if I could find the money, it wouldn't at that much to the value of the car. It's not a low-mileage Sport, CS or 911... Tim |

Brett - while we're on : how much was your wrapping job? How much surface prep was needed? Could you go back to paint? Would you? Tim. |

Hi Tim Thats a ridiculous price for a respray.... Most Porsche owners i know go to a guy called Dave >>>>> https://www.facebook.com/groups/234391562636/ He owns the spray company and does PERFECT work... as a guess on yours, around 6 to 9 k for a full perfect glass out respray....and I do MEAN PERFECT.... Give Dave a ring and mention my name , it may help lol... http://www.daytonacoachworx.co.uk/about-us I realise its a long way from you but well worth the trip....you will save thousands... My wrap cost £1500 with a few bits of preparation..but the guy who did it was rubbish...so looking to have it rewrapped over the winter....cost around 2.5 to 3k for a perfect wrap... All the best Brett

Thanks Brett. Moorland don't seem altogether unreasonable, but I do think the quality of the job is way above what I need, so it makes it financially unrealistic. I've seen Dave's work - he's doing a 968 Sport for Peter ("Oily" on porsche968uk.co.uk) at the mo - but there's not so much difference between Peter's price and what Moorland are saying. Thanks anyway: I'll contact him. Cheers, Tim. |
