Hi Guys

Hope everyone is well and getting ready for the summer season ahead.

Warning,

Have you got the next 30-60 minutes free, if the answer is no then come back when you have.
If you have got the spare time then get ready for a very large comprehensive write up , and I hope you enjoy and pick up a few bits and bobs along the way

So are you ready for the next instalment from Kelly @ KDS?

I guess you must be so now let's go on a journey of Porsche 930 turbo loveliness.

The car is question is owned by the same customer that owns these too

This time the car was bought on a whim and it's a car that the owner had always said to himself that one day it would be in his collection.
It was bought knowing that it was coming straight to KDS from the sellers residence, after my initial inspection it seem to be that the car would need a lot more work than the paperwork and service history portrayed.
I few phone calls and emails to the customer to let him know the outcome, the reply from the owner was well "now that I have you fixing my cars I don't worry myself anymore about my car collection , in fact my cars sell better once they have had the KDS magic"
So it was then I set together the KDS team to start on this epic job that ended up taking months to complete to our standards.

So here goes on to the before pics ,































































































































































































So as you can see it's a bit sorry for its self and we have not even got onto the paint condition yet.

Had different coloured bulbs in headlights.

I was given a list of jobs to do on the car which had more than 20 separate items well this had grown a lot by the time I got involved.

End of part one

Wow Kelly ! That was one mammoth restoration that goes beyond detailing your attention to detail is second to none , this Porsche has got back it's life again !

I hope you charged the owner accordingly , there was a lot of work with this car .

I am sure the owner had a grin on his face when he picked up the car !:D

Quick question: what type of buffing pad are you using to do the door handles ? :buffer:

Thanks for sharing .

Proof that you can polish a turd :) stunning work kelly, someone cleary had it in for that driveshaft and looks like they hammered that seal in :) I really don't envy you with those studs in the wastgate, I remember my dad having to drill one out of the exhaust to turbo manifold on my fiesta RST with it still in situ, bugger he did swear :)

The results look stunning, it looks a completely different colour and the wheels look much better after the refurb and what a difference some black paint makes :) I really should get you to quote for recolouring the interior of our TT :)
Yep the exhaust external waste gate was not nice to do and took a while using slow carefull drilling , so not to damage part.

The driveshafts were shocking too like a lot of work carried out on the car , all done by specailists too :wall:

Amazing job
simply wow
WOW absolutely stunning
What a transformation, it looked in a bad way at the start but good as new by the end :thumb: It's nice to see the restoration work on the mechanical side as much as the paint correction.
Thanks , we do carryout alot of this sort of work on many cars not just the detailing :thumb:

I am speechless . Fantastic job and I dont even like 911s
Wow....

What a superb overhaul :thumb:, amazing work and really nice to see all aspects of what you do Kelly down there @ KDS.

Thanks for sharing :).
One of the best write ups I have ever seen many thanks for your hard work you have excellent attention to detail and work ethic :thumb:
Wow...

What a thread...

What a car...

What an exhaust...

Why did you hand the compresser over to the customer to get a replacement? Do you not source parts for the customer?
The compressor was handed to customer as he requested to do so , he found a "specialist" ;) that could rebuild his old compressor much cheaper than buying new one , it was planned to return at a later date for us to re-fit , but in the mean time the car was sold on .

Thanks again guys for the great comments
