I agree, what a fantastic build. I look forward to more photos and driving impressions (and some video would be nice too)

Looks great. Now...drive it sideways!

Fantastic Job Alex. Was the Transit van an inspiration for the color scheme LOL.

She's gorgeous. Need action shots! :)

Great build. Well done.

What a great looking ride.

Enjoy

Thank you all for your kind comments.
I really would like to show you some auction videos but in fact I did not have too much auction with this car.
I did some road tests to check alignments and If everything was OK and the car was immediately delivered to the new owner.

I run a small company trying to specialize on Classic Porsches and the car was sold before it was finished.

Anyway, I would like to post a small video where you can see it breathing.

Once again I would like to thank to all members and to this board for all the support - I know it was not one popular thread but I received some nice comments that were very motivating.
Cheers!

Alex,
Greetings...it has been a while, but I still love that 911.

Hi Al!
Nice to see you around! Yes, I think 10 yrs. passed already… not sure but it feels
like that.
I found this photos again on the internet and decided to post them because that photographic work is really nice!
It is always nice to remember.

My first big work… out of a person that, at that time, knew nothing (and still learning), with a team that knew even less :) … and the “audience” passing by and smiling with contempt…
