THE STORY

Fixing what you can't see

Rust hides in the floors, pans and seams of every early 911 and 912. Before paint, before trim, before anything you can see, the metal has to be right.
This 912 came apart so we could find every weak spot. The photos follow the car from the floors as we found them to the body shell up on the lift.
