Default Finally finished & I brought the 951 home today...

After almost 7 months living at Motorwerks, I was finally able to pick her up & bring her home looking better than ever. As usual my patience paid off...

My body guy did an amazing job of taping, painting, blending, gravel guarding and re-assembling & the finish is just stunning. I'm glad I went with all new lower plastic pieces too. He also filled in the headlight washer holes in the top of the front bumper. NEVER RUSH A BODY GUY/PAINTER!

During it's stay, the hatch was completely restored, resealed & the hoop spoiler etc added by a local expert. So nice not to have to deal with the delamination & creaking any more!

Wow, that looks really nice.

Give me a couple more month's because of a personal injury. But I will have a beautiful 951 to put pics up of soon.

Your car is great! One of the best I have seen on here.

Wow!!! That car looks amazing. Do you have the big black brake kit up front? Any mods to the engine? How's the interior?

Super. I do like the headlight washer gone too. IF I get my with a respray or to cover a few paint dings up front, I might have to go that way too. So far I have gone the all stcok way but that is nice too.

What all work was actually done?

Really nice looking car. Superb! What colour is that? Almost looks like a darker version of the old Petrel Blue from 80's Carerras and SCs. I like the Hoop and 968 mirrors. Really tastefully modernises these cars. You should be 1 proud owner!

Thanks Patrick. The color is Nile Green - takes on many different hues in different light conditions. I love it.
