1972 Porsche 911ST Restoration

Recently our 1972 Porsche 911ST went through a complete restoration. Everything was stripped from the vehicle, making it a blank canvas for us to work with. Many hours later, the restoration is coming to a finish.

Check out these never before seen photos of the restoration. This just gives you an idea of how much work was put into it.


If you would like to see photos of the completed project, please visit the link below: http://www.winningmakes.com/1972-porsche-911st/
