Sorry if it's a repost but very interesting:

911 RS (model year 1973) - References - Workshop and Services - Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG

[NoLift911]

It never gets old - what we need is some donkey that is over there working on this stuff to become a member of the board so we can pick their brain on what and how things are beign done. Would love to know what some of the coatings they are using on parts etc...

They goop the 574 on like it's Marzipan!

[cbush]

Yep- that is beautiful work!

[Grady Clay]

All I have to say is WOW.
Everyone should look through
all the pictures on this Porsche
Factory thread.

I will give this restoration about a 99.8.
It is excellent and Factory!.

Best,
Grady

Is that a hydraulic motor to turn the engine on the stand? How soft we've become!

[Tyson Schmidt]

I couldn't help but pick out all the incorrect details in the engine compartment.

But I guess since the factory did it, it's correct?

Excuse my ignorance but what is 574?

[McLovin]

It's a delicious paste made of ground almond and sugar.

[D911SC]

That's good to know! Next time I need some supplies for my restoration I'll just raid the pantry.....

[5String43]

Good God! Wonder how much that project cost? Ah well; it's only money.

[crustychief]

Wow! Talk about zero timing a car.

When I win the PCA raffle 911T they are doing I'll post plenty of pictures

Me thinks it is an engine dyno.....

[Series900]

makes my heart skip a beat seeing the factory using the celettes for the restorations, thats bling to me!

[juicersr]

I think this is possibly the neatest thing about getting the factory to do your resto.... full documentation on what looks like hard copy and CD ROM


Talk about sending your car's resale value into the stratosphere... U basically are getting your car just as it left the factory... pretty damn cool.

Wonder if they reset the odometer too?

OK, since noone has asked, i gotta.

Anyone want to hazzard a guess as to what all this would set u back??

[Series900]

As a boy, Helmut would yell at me in my sleep, "read the fuchin factory manuals". so i did. and I bought the tools. whats happening the first week of December 2010 at Series 900? 2 of the indischrot flavor, same hit in the left fronts- 68 911 and 95 993 on the benches

[juicersr]

Very nice Damon, but do your customers get the purty leather book and pix on CD after dropping all their $$ on ya?

[racer]

This is one raffle car I woud actually LIKE to own. You can keep your GT3/GTS/Caymans.. give me a factory restored longhood please!

[Series900]

no leather bound book,
pictures on picassa,
You save on transportation costs!

Its great to see the inner sanctum of factory restoration, love that e-coat in biege!
But what are the red handles glued to the wall and in one pic stuck to the side of the car? magnetic handles for holding down plastic sheeting is a guess..
