I have used them in the past. However I have found them quite high on their parts prices. Circle Porshe in Long Beach, CA. beats there prices hands down and that's for dealer parts!!. If you gotta have it and the dealer doesn't have it you can get it off of LAD, however do some price comparisons.

As always, your experience may vary. This is just my own.

Some new photos. Onyl interior left and engine.
Inside, the dashboard, the steering wheel, center tunnel and gearshift ***** are trimmed with leather, and all storage compartments. winter seats will be renewed. new paint will be applied and any abrasions will be replaced. the next stage will be a major overhaul of the engine, but I think it's winter next year.

The car is being renovated in Europe. the interior was trimmed with Italian leather, the same that is used by the Porsche in their cars. The work was done in Poland, in a workshop that sews leather on old luxury cars such as Frerrari or Maclaren

bodywork and painting work completed. unfortunately I miss the end of the season due to the condition of the engine. i wonder how the previous owner drove this car. the leakage of oil on the exhaust manifold is very great. On Monday begins the removal of the engine and its disassembly into first parts and replacement of all seals. checking the pistons and the head. I hope the car will start the new season in full readiness
