Their web site is a bit dated, but Mark is a Porsche trained trimmer.
Theres always porsche and ferrari in the workshop, and prices are very competitive.

Sorry guys am back!
Sorry guys am back!
The car is well and on its way to be finished by the end of the year if not sooner!
The last entry to the diary of Amazon, she was transported by a very good old friend of mine Dave & Clive from DAR relocating her to a great bodyshop located in the North West where she is finally prepped ready for paint. I cannot stress how good they are with old and new Porsches!
More pics to come!

Green was my 1st choice, but I don't think I could live with green for a longtime,whereas Maritime is my all time favourite.

Ray, it was so so difficult to decide on a colour I would live with and keep for a while. Even the lastminute I was still deciding on the colour, nevermind asking and posting and asking here on this thread! I think I went through all the colours and came back with Blue!
Green, Orange, yellows, even RUBYSTONE are great colours but I think i'd get bored so easily and would possibly drive me crazy in the longterm.
The saftest colours would be white I already have, silvers and blacks but not as amazing as maritime blue, which i've always loves. even if it kills me to think am building a RS replica which people are going to scrutinize, but who cares its my own built car. When do you see a lightweight 4wd 964 NGT in maritime blue around? Its hard enough to see a 964 RS 4wd!
I kept on saying to myself it can't be Maritime blue, as its played to death, or the most obvious or loved colour, its an RS colour and belongs to an RS, but who cares I love it!

Norm, exactly like you said; Who cares?
Chickened out? Maritime is my favorite colour! I would have done the same. Or maybe I would have tried Audi RS Blue even as it is still period correct even though it's not a Porsche colour.. It has a bit less purple in it... Anyways, I like riviera as well (who doesn't) but it's a lot less low key than the Maritime... you can't go wrong with that bro, great choice! Please keep us posted on your progress

The car arrived at the new bodyshop safe and was given the once prep over before the first stage of painting.
The result was well more than satisfactory with the paint out come and the use of solvent-2pack paint, inkeeping with the period of car.
More pics to follow but heres one for now until I have time to upload the rest.
I was more than overwhelmed seeing paint finally on the car! yes the final bodystage of paint!

Heres more...
The inside interior was the hardest part to paint I think, am sure my ears were burning, cursing me from under the sun
But what a finish!
