Some of you may have seen this car in the flesh but i know that we haven't posted any photo's up as yet.

The car was stripped and fully painted and then put back together using only new genuine porsche parts.

Yes this car is really 19 years old.........

Enjoy

The vehicle was washed/cleaned/protected with RaceGlaze products.

The vehicle was treated to 2 coats of Raceglaze 55.

All that is left on the exterior is to refurb the NSF alloy. (As it isn't perfect)

Thanks for looking

Dave Naxton

I thought the car looks pink not red.

I have edited the first post so it doesn't look like a sales pitch.

I just wanted to post up a couple of images to show the old girl back to her former glory.

I am more of a cornbeef type of guy, don't really think much of spam. :wink:

Photo's were taken on a mobile phone, so the colour does look a little off.

The colour looks well off in the pics. Who painted it & where?

lovely job though. and wouldn't we all love to be able to strip a car totally and replace everything with genuine new parts!

I sort of did the same thing. Just didn't plan it that way :lol:

Great job. Did you buy a new rear hatch though?

It's known as shipwright's Syndrome... e.g. you start to replace a plank, the area around it looks poor so you replace that etc. etc. By the time you've finished it's like Triggers broom 30 years old totally original but 6 new heads & three handles.

looks very nice indeed (presuming it's not pink in the metal!) loving the silver roses esp BUT who stuck the rear plate on...stevie wonder? :lol:

What's wrong with the plate? It's on an original bracket which most cars don't have any more, but it's level and central I think.

I'm afraid the pics just make it look like a typical Guards Pink car that's had a good wash though.
