Looks like terrific work. Any reason why you couldn't reuse the original windshield?

The previous windshield had been in for a very long time (I'm not sure it wasn't the original?) - so it had several stone "pits" (or whatever you call those things ) that could have probably been filled - but rather, decided on a new windshield.

Best to you!

I like the ride height. Are they greens or reds?

Thanks,

They are greens - and I have to say, I really like both the ride height and the feeling. They certainly are not as stiff as my 993 C4 with PSS-9s (even at their softest settings), nor are they too "loose"...

Hope this helps!

Hi Tom,

I missed your question - sorry about that..!

Ummm - *ANY* shop that tells you bondo is OK for *any* structural repair/part is.... - Well - just run away and find a real shop...

As well - you can probably guess - I'm a little "Type A+++" about my P'cars, so metal - whether structural or not - metal is the *correct* repair in my opinion, which is one of the many reasons I was so impressed with Jason's work on our 964.

Hope this helps!

Dwane - I have to tell you - the more I look at his work - the more amazed I am.... I am dumbfounded. In fact - I'm taking our 993 there next week for metal replacements in the windshield pillars and around the back window (my 993 is as bad as our 964 *was*..)..

As well - a few have PMed me to ask for a picture of the pillar with the HUGE HOLE - and what it looks like now under natural light, as few can believe that it looks "that good"... It does, I assure you (I'm a type "A+" according to Jen )

Below is a picture I took tonight of one of the repaired areas (the HUGE HOLE in the pillar post!).. If you own a dark car - you know how if there were any imperfections - they would show (the pillar is reflecting the front garage door in the pic )...

Best to all!

John

Anyone who loves what they do...Do their job right!
Everywhere you look business is based on volume. He calculated his time and did the job right. Hopefully he keeps it up and people encourage him for a job well done.
