That is one nice result there for you guys. Really clean looking bay there, one of the best I've seen. Also an amazing garage full of cars so you're in some very nice company there George. I'm really happy that you've got it back and do understand the frustration of the long wait which is made longer with the anticipation of the end result. Somehow that will all be forgotten in only a few days and you will be having way too much fun with your new beast. Can't wait to see your progress so keep us all posted.
Great job guys!
PS Tim, does this mean that I'll be seeing my exhaust pretty soon now that you've freed up some time?

My ARB stuff from Australia took seven weeks to get here. It had to be shipped via boat. He has no free time till my car is tuned. LOL

There was a quick rev to 6k when I was driving back into the shop parking lot because there was a huge *** rock and I thought I was going to take out George's oil pan.I tried to get it into a lower gear and missed it.Luckily Georges car is not lw enough r it would have been distatorous.You can see the rock in the video.
When we did the photo shoot this weekend,one of my employees brand new S4 was taken out of comission by a huge 2 foot rock that came tumbling down a hill.Totally took out the front end of the car but I was happy it missed the customers cars.I was thinking to myself.....How am I going to tell a customer that there car was just destroyed because it got hit by a rock!

Those cars behind it are worth alot of money. Those are the orignal cars that either won or placed in races such as the Targa Floria, Nurburgring 1000 and alot of other historic races in the eaerly 60's
Some of them have some of our custom one off parts on them too since you cant get some of the orignal replacement parts anymore.I cant say who the owner is but lets just say he has over a billion dollars and has 18 other cars just like it including a Boitler which was a one off car made by one of Ferdinand friends for Janis Joplin.That car is probably one of the most valuable Porsches in existance since their is only one of them.He has his collection in the Book,"The Worlds Greatest Garages"It is kind of funny because the day after we took those photos, another collector stopped by with a 2 million dollar Arbath 356 historic race car.We had to do some exhaust work on it. This 356 was the winningest(I think that is how you say it) of the 356 class of Porsche. He also has his collection in,"The Worlds Greatest Garages" He was just driving it like it was a normal car and we are fricken crapping ourselves.
