Hi Everyone,
My name is Ben i'm from South Birmingham, I am a sheet metalworker. I don't currently own a Porsche however i have been working on them for many years mostly within motorsport. Having prepared over 20 bodyshells and made many competition parts.My last Porsche was a 65'912 but due to lack of space it was passed on before i could get at it! My current customer project is a 73' RS shell.
Great site with some great cars on it! (think i have even seen some of my work on it!)
Ben

Welcome Ben, you have some lovely parts on your site

Can you tell us more about what your in-house manufacturing specialities are, I'm sure more than me would be interested.

Hi Ben. Are you Ben Coles by any chance, the chap who makes lots of interesting early parts? If so been looking at your RSR rear arms.

Ian.

If you are talking about the 3.0L RS car then yes that's who put me onto them. I haven't seen them in person yet but must do so soon.

Ian.
