Coming along nicely! What exterior color did you decide?
(By the way, it is amazing that more than 2 years has gone by since the original post...man, time flies...)

Staying with the original PTS color, Plantation White. It's a cross between Porsche's medium and light ivory.
Yep, I know what you mean about the time. But, waiting on my 930 to finish has definitely made it feel longer, but it's all good. Hopefully, I'll get her back in the next few months.

If you are now in Alexandria, I would love to see this car when it is done. I am eventually taking stewardship of my dad's 89 930 that he brought home on my birthday in 1988. It is a Florida car. We are near park fairfax, basically the quaker lane exit.... I also have a nearly finished 86 951 track car project sitting in my garage...
Who did you use to refinish the fuchs? I need to do that for ours. I used them as track wheels for years and they are pretty beat...not bent, just beat....

I'm not sure who my restorer used for the Fuchs, but I'll ask the question when I speak to him this week.

Thanks for your comment. I've seen the interior in person and it truly is top-notch work. I've included a few more pics...at the angle you can see how well the seats were reupholstered. Palo Alto did a fantastic job on the gauges as well. Also, new RE11s for the Fuchs.
