After 14 months in the paint shop getting a bare metal paint job to the original Willow Green color it was delivered today. That is the good news.
The bad news is as he was bringing it to the house the windshield blew out on the highway - yes he was towing backwards - no he didn't know any better - caused a little rash on the hood which will buff out or he will repaint. The guy is sick about it to say the least. He turned 3 shades of green when I said they are NLA. He is checking with his glass guys to see if there is one available through his sources. A few weeks ago I checked with my Porsche dealer in town for a new one and they said none available in the system. I was going to put a new one in the green car and take the exisitng one out and put it in the red car (it was a 9.5 out 10 windshield - really nice). Now that plan is out the door. I was chatting with TC and he said there were a few in Germany that can be ordered in - but the local guy at Porsche doesn't seem to know how to do it. I don't want a Chinese windshield if I can help it... I don't know what to do - well other than go have a glass (or 2) of 18 year old Scotch. Anyway here is a snapshot - |

Please do not drink all of the Scotch. I'll need it for my impending visit. Helps calms the nerves as I drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Cayenne should be able to transport if you find something out this way. Great start BTW! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |
