Unhappy Gary Kempton Passes...

Folks,

I'm sad to say that Gary Kempton, one of the finest restorers of 550's, 356's and early 911's has passed unexpectedly. For those unfamiliar with Gary's work here's a link to his website:

http://www.garykemptonrestorations.com/

Porsche enthusiasts world-wide have truly lost one of the 'Masters' of the art of 'making things new again'.

I didn't know who he was, but it appears we lost another good one.

He restored a 904 I had- amazing work, very friendly, and totally trustworthy.
