Porsche revives the passion

Courtesy of wired.com; “Porsche fans are known to be purists, people possessed of a passion that can border on fanaticism. And the world of automotive restoration can be equally fanatical in its attention to detail.

So it is perhaps only appropriate that the Porsche Club of America sent a basket-case 911 T off to the automaker’s own Porsche Classic service center in Germany for an extreme makeover. The shop is the kind of place where good enough isn’t good enough. It has to be like new. Especially since the car will be raffled [this] month at the Porsche Parade, the club’s annual convention.

Here’s a glimpse at what went into bringing a classic back to life.
