Just got my baby back!
Hi All,
Some of you may remember this thread (containing really nasty pics of my rusty targa!): YIKES - 911 Restoration Pics, WARNING! Well I picked her up from the shop today, and they've done a wonderful job!       Continued....

Here's the invoice:
 Not a bad price considering all the work they did. So to all UK peep's I'd thoroughly recommend RM restorations at Colchester (www.rmrestorations.co.uk) Cheers, Tim.

Looks like nice work. The shot of your rear decklid - is the lid part way open?

Tim, looks great. What a difference from the "before" pics on your previous thread. For as nice as it turned out, that's not a bad price, even in pounds. Enjoy your 'new' car.

Thanks guys, trouble is it makes other parts of the car look bad now!! I'm gonna have to do the roll-bar cover again!
Cheers, Tim.

Great work, Tim!
Some may have heard of the unpainted galvanized shell that sat outside the factory for years ... It finally rusted through in a few spots after nine or ten years ... so ocean exposure isn't required, and mud or road debris certainly aids in the decomposition process! Ever seen a galvanized, corrogated roof on a 30-year old barn???

Tim,
Looks great! I'm glad it worked out well for you. The VAT of 17.5% seems crazy! What is the "value add" of the tax?

Exchange Rate
2,560 pounds is equal to what?
Do I multiply by 1.7, or is it 2.5? Looks like you spend around $5,000 American, right? Nice car. Nice paint. Nice trim. Nice detail all around.
