really like the zinc plate look...something to consider when I eventually dive in to an engine refresh.

Prior to an engine detail, I stripped the yellow passivate off my 964 RS engine parts myself.

Stripped prior to plating :







During reassembly :



And and back in the car :

There's no way that would be the same company! Not unless he was tripping on acid on that particular day!

Beautiful - you can always tell a great car from the engine bay. Where did you get them done?

I know two companies that will do a fantastic job. Drop me a PM for details
I can also let you have a tip for stripping the parts prior to re-passivating them.

Beauty and the beast! Turbo, mind giving details on what led to that tragedy? If only to save others from the same fate.
