Been quite some time since I have posted.... Wanted to bring to you all a project close to my heart as I am a Porsche nut and this one is a rare beauty. A 1988 Porsche 911 with 8K original miles on the clock and such a beautiful example of the air cooled era. Needless to say I was excited for this passion project to commence. Let us begin....

As you can see.... the wells areas needed help. If you have not worked on one of these.... let me tell you, it is not just a quick clean and rinse by any means. MANY hours were poured into the underside of this vehicle.

took a break from the wells and started working the underside of the motor and such

all the oil and cosmoline and year after year of built up crust was..... quite the process to remove

making progress at this point. I've lost count of the amounts of caffeine consumed already

all trim needed some attention. This was all cleaned and no dressings applied to any trim

underside of the motor coming along

undercarriage and lines all thoroughly cleaned after many hours due to the grease and cosmoline everywhere

wells looking official now

one wheel clean, one.... not so much

lots of nooks and crannies in the motor to get caked on oil and such out of....

wheels on and looking proper

brakes and company looking nice now

some befores on the paint

a 50/50 on the door

trunk area dialed in

the Porsche looking proper now

and now for the sun pics.... all in all a fantastic project and fantastic car now looking as it was intended to.
