Sacrilege or Brilliant?

RWB's are just as legendary as singer's - just for totally different reasons. He never claimed to make the fastest car but indeed car art. I also find it interesting that he seems to travel to his cars and not have the cars come to him. On the comment that people hate him in the 993 forum - well, I chuck this up as coming from some Porsche owners who despise any moditication on their precious car. Heck, I get snide comments for my rather modest modifications from folks who tell me how dare I modify something as perfect as a OEM 911. Oh well.
Not fundamentally different than a singer and he's been doing it longer. I think he's stagnant and not evolving in his art but I'm not close enough to know for sure.
Any owner is free to do what they want with their car.

It's a shame there aren't more porsche restomod companies that don't charge small fortunes for a restore. I get parts can be hard to find and labor is expensive but surely it can be done for fractions of the cost of these companies. I mean if I can buy brand new state of the art cars today for way way less, why can't a restore be in-line with that given the cars are often much cheaper to start with? Would be great to see it done at larger scale to lower costs given so many people love the porsche brand and would buy NA cars over the newer turbo and over electronified cars.
