This all started with a thread back in October when we finished our documentary video. An avid Porschephile, asofine, began inquiring about our renewal service. One of his three 911s happened to be in SoCal and we decided to take her on as a project. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did.

Parts are skillfully removed and cataloged for re-installation. This is where having a Porsche specialist is a must. Not only can parts not mysteriously go missing, but everything has to go back to pre-removal condition...just cleaner

Enjoying a bit of time in Vancouver at the moment though I should nonetheless be sleeping b/c I've got a tee time at 8:00! The car is great! She's been hibernating in SoCal for a little while but I'll let you know when I'm back down there. Stay well, Moe!
To the rest of the forum, I could sit and wax poetic about Moe and his work, but it's probably safe to assume that the photos speak for themselves!!
