Accessible only by ATV you say? I know it's not a 914, but thought you guys might like to see one more saved, in this case an early Pre-A.

If someone media blasted that car (I'd love to see the residual metal that was left), welded in Porsche manufactured chassis and body panels (some of which are available), sourced an era appropriate 356 engine, and added as much OEM interior/exterior hard and soft trim as possible.......yea, I'd call that a Porsche.

Paul OK, so, no reproduction body panels. What if the restorer hand fabricates a panel and welds it in? Is it ok to reupholster seats using modern fabric and the original seat frame? Are new fasteners allowed? What about interior door panels? I could go on but I don't want to beat that horse. To me, a restoration is as much about the documentation as the the finished piece. I want to see the starting point and the processes and materials that go into the final presentation. In the end however, a restoration must stand on it's own and reflect an attention to detail appropriate to the level to which it aspires. |
