This is 951and944s's car. The same guy that painted mine Arena Red. Since this pic the he has added 968 door handles to match the mirrors. Notice also the GT rockers and the 951 valence. As I understand it this color was only used on a handful of 968s. It looks spectacular in person with tons of depth.

BTW, the car is for his son Eon.

You'd have to get a quote from Terry but I'm sure that he'd be extremely competitive. His work is very good. Search my user name for some paint job updates with lots of pics of the work on my car during and after the job. He is also extremely competent in all areas of these cars (engine, suspension etc. etc.) No one, and I do mean no one, touches my car other than Terry.

Looks great Scott! I have to call Terry this week to see what best fits his schedule - just before summer or just after. We did decide on Single stage for the paint though through emails. That color is beautiful.

Bret, can't wait to see your car in person. BTW, shave your bumper. It updates the car's look so much that I may have to have him redo my bumper.

Scott, sent you an email regarding the possible Hammond trip.
I have enough paint left from your car to do a bumper and end plates, just say the word....
Thanks for the compliments BTW and to set the record straight my, errr my son's car is an '87, my ex-8 year daily driver, super reliable car. NEVER a chain tensioner/head/valve concern. I built the engine from several cardboard boxes of parts (bought the car with engine disassembled) many years ago.

'88- 924S - We'd love to see your car and include you in our small, but growing little clan of S. La. water pumpers. Contact Scott (ELLSSUU), Dean (ringo951) or myself sometime and we'll keep you posted on any further meetings...This goes for you too Blueman33...

Ski- Hey Bret, was just thinking of you today. I slipped up and forgot about the proofreading thing. I tried to contact you at your work email and figured you were away from the job currently. I had dibs on some 3.0 liter parts and was looking for a link that I lost (and knew you had) on that guy in Canada with the new 968 blocks for a possible 3.0 liter project I was considering but I missed out on the 16v head. I'm anxious to meet up and take a look at your car soon too, if for no other reason than to compare that monster on a few runs against my modest Speed Force Racing demo car.....

Terry S.
