What's wrong with that?
Absolutely nothing.

For those who ask "why"...the answer is simple. "To those who
understand, no explanation is necessary; to those who don't, none is possible."

Forgot to ask. Did the BFI give you a hand?

This work has added veracity to the expression " better than new" ......

I can see the Concours auf Maryland judging sheet now:
Andreas W. 1995 911/993
-5 points for non-Factory coating on front hub carriers
-10 pts for missing Factory installed engine undertray
-20 points for missing Factory installed undercarriage cosmoline protective coating

Summary:
Beautifully cared for car, sadly missing some key Factory installed equipment that would make it a show winner...

Andreas,

Once again you are the King of Clean!!!!!! The bar has been raised higher.
Your work is super. Clean and functional in my book.
I may be doing the same to my car next year. This should help mitigate the salt from the Florida coast on the aluminum parts.

Keep up the good work.

You have to much free time!

Sadly, your car is crying, it's wants to be driven, not hermetically sealed.


Really I'm jealous, my car is a pit right now. There is a big concourse that the car is entered in Sunday, & prep hasn't even started yet.

Andreas, you attention to detail is ridiculous and is really triggering my OCD.



Best,

Paul
