Hey Pumpkin....

Though not fully grown to become the grand carriage of a fairy tail, the stroke of midnight has not turned its driver into a mouse, and you can say that a little bit of magic has transformed this light weight into a ride worthy of a Princess.

In the beginning of Axiom Motorsports, Mr W, brought in this little bright long hood, bright yes, but no glow....

Being a good friend of the Axiom family has its fringe benefits, so we stripped it down to bare metal, not much body work was needed being that it is a 1972, natural beauty was already  there.  We dressed it on A Jaguermeister Orange, and carbon fiber hood and deck lid.

We though it was a happy ending,....but noooo !!
Got itself a big pair of rubber shoes and now it need to come to the patch and get re-fitted.
Add two inches to the hips and bumpers, get rid of the fiberglass fenders and match the metal ones to the front bumper, then take another shot of Jaguermeister again......yep !!  still tastes the same, even after 4 years.

For now it sits quietly at UFO Motorsport awaiting for the magic wand that makes it come alive, and even though it looks so adorable........don't try to pet it.......it bites....

A brand new day

What a difference a day makes,  yesterday it was pouring rain and now we have blue skies, some days here can compare with that, there are times when everything goes smoothly, but then, sometimes it seems like Murphy's Law was written for us.

A 1989 930 gets bought at a salvage yard, mostly in pieces, then it travels 90 miles to its friend's body shop; once the body goes skinny dipping in red, an attempt to assemble gets under way;      Realizing that so many parts are missing, the friend recommended to see someone with more knowledge of Porsche....... Who you gonna call ???

We had been commissioned to build a Turbo engine for this toy, along with all other vital parts and some upgrades, not too wild, we still need to maintain the original look.  I was not expecting to be the finisher.

It came to us looking like someone was running away from home, boxes and bags full with Porsche and non Porsche parts, it has taken months and a lot of patience, along with the assistance of some of our associates to make it to a decent stand,.....but today is a good day,  Big Red is alive, all the vital signs are good and soon ...Rubber might be burned........

First day of Spring

It's raining cats and dogs, I guess who ever said that it never rains in Southern California, has not seen a day like this.  Not too much going on today,  all the toys are going to have to be under wraps until further notice.

But at least we have time to catch up on paperwork, move all pictures to their respective folders, and be ready for sunny days.
