Iris Blue Porsche 968 Sport

[Mr.Mint]

Bloody lovely! Class colour and it's great that you took it back to the condition that it deserved to be in!

 

[S2K-Aaron]

Love this! Shame its sold

What's next on the cards?

 

[richie_mck]

Cracking motor but if you got the price you needed for it then it's not all bad, half the fun is the project of it

Love seeing old cars getting some TLC, that paintwork looked flawless!

Nice...always liked those 968s...do you remember Gavins brother had a yellow one with yellow wheels years ago? My cousin had a number of Porsches back in the 80/90s...944 turbos and 928s but never a 968.

Beautiful car, definitely one worth keeping in shape.

Horrendous parking at Portstewart though

Thats lovely,seen that car about 10 years ago when we worked on his wife's car.
The owner is still a big Porsche fan as still has two porkers now..

I love front engined Porsche's. My old 944 was a complete money pit though; always needed something hence it didn't last long.

That is stunning! Brilliant job on the paintwork an all, always hear good things about AG and can see why going by them photos

That's interesting Domo, who was the owner then?

I will get you the details and PM you as much detail as possible when i speak to my folks but this was easily 10years ago and the owner loved this car as it was his weekend car!
Just thought you would like to know thats why i posted..

It ended up in some shape eh Graeme? Almost a barn find.

Defo had potential though!! (As shown )

Yeah it had definitely seen better days, but I'm glad I bought it, turned out to be a good car underneath it all. Glad you didn't manage to talk me out of buying it!

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Lovely car, Colour looks amazing. HTD

 

[Steve]

That is excellent looking, colour looks fantastic.

 

[Neil_M]

What a car, I'd love a CS.

A best mate that had a sport back in nam, still vows it was the best handling car he has had!

 

[seanbob]

I'm not a massive Porsche fan but really like what you did with that old skool number - plus the paintwork looks to have absolutely shone through

 

[Woodcutter]

Thanks guys, it turned out very well indeed.

It went off to its new owner yesterday though!

Would it have been on the boat for Scotchland today? Saw an identical one this morning but couldn't make out the plate.

That would have been it, I think the new owner was getting the 7am ferry this morning!

 

[andy9eleven]

That's an awesome turnaround. Lovely cars the 968. Shame to see it go though.

 

[BarryPort]

Never got to see this in the flesh
Amazing car, always had a soft spot for them. The new owner got a clinker.

Ever remember the 968 that used to sit in a holiday home on Black Hill Portrush? On the sea side opposite Mill Strand.

 

[Chris Mac]

Very nice job on the paintwork G!

@Series1_Turbo here's my 968 that AG Automotive did a bare metal respray on for me.

I see Photobucket has killed the thread so below I have added a few pics.

Gives you an idea of the standard of his work. This was also a couple of years ago, before he built his new place with his unreal new spray booth.
