Looks fabulous. How did your painter get the recipe for the paint colour?

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.

Hi Rob, I am not sure of that.
We decided upon Glasurit and it was always going to be the original paint colour of Porsche Signal Orange.
The car needed a little more paint than expected apparently.
The finish is lovely and the colour depth is amazing.
Cheers, Neil

I have some photos of further progress with the car exterior coming together:

The engine is going to be looked at and given a refresh.
The braking system is complete save a couple of small parts - we should soon have a complete braking system.

Plenty of work to do yet....

Cheers, Neil
