My new car

Post by den 912de »

Just received these great pics of my Creamsicle LE fresh from the paint shop. She is being fully restored at Original Customs in CA.

I shipped my last 914 here and managed the restoration myself but this one needed much more work doing. After getting the hellhole done and some further bodywork repairs, seeing that she was in good hands I decided to get her finished there before shipping her. There are more early pics on the Original Customs website.

Really looking forward to getting her here and on the road:

Probably early next year, given the time it takes to put it back together and ship.
