I hope you enjoyed this thread as much as we enjoyed this restoring this 911 Turbo!

ER MAH GERD. Beautiful job.

That is awesome work. I love seeing the before and after shots of a detail. I can only imagine how satisfying this work is when you literally get to "fix" everything that you work on, and then present that to the owner. It's like you're a hero all the time. :P

thanks guys!

That steering wheel was just disgusting. Awesome work!

Excellent work! :clap:

yes the steering wheel was nasty. thanks guys

I love these posts! Keep up the awesome work!

Great job - looks like a show car again. The owner just needs to get some new lug nuts!

So what does a job like this cost? That looks like a ton of work!

ive done a lot of cars in this condition you saved that cars life. he owes about 500$

this job billed out at $1500.

he has new wheels and lugs going on it, hence we didn't go crazy on the wheels and lugs.
