 This Red Beauty is the first generation 911 that is part of the three Porsche in the show, it came to us in pieces (no pun intended)

Though the film crew wanted to see the owner take a ride in it and burn some rubber, it was not possible.   After all, the body and all the parts came separately from L A Porsche Dismantler and have to be put together at a couple of different shops.


We were the finishers, that means, the ones with the most amount of work, and the least amount of time.

If we have any bit of doubt that any vehicle is not safe.....it will not hit the streets.

Porsche in Pieces (National Geographic)









Porsche enthusiasts, mark your calendars...on May 12th at 7:00 pacific time, The National Geographic Channel will air an episode of their series "Break it Down"  featuring L A Porsche Dismantlers;  It's not about us, but we did play a supporting role....In this town, that counts, after all there is no business, like show business.
The lady producer, Denise Prichard,  said:   you guys are going to be on TV,  I was thinking....I should have brought my clown shoes.....Long story short, we have been commissioned to built a turbo engine for this car, Nat Geo was following this car as one of the three they were going to feature on their show. 

Cut !!       again, from the top,........it was an experience, every move was done three or four times, I think  they should make transmission lifting an Olympic sport, after installing that G50 4 times, we felt we deserve some gold , and It is not easy working with a mic taped you chest.                
The star of the show is LAPD and this is their blog
