Just Completed 1958 356 A Restoration

#1 Post by James Hery »

I just completed this 356 restoration. Here is a link for your viewing. https://docs.google.com/folderview?id=0 ... =drive_web My last eight projects have all been classic air-cooled Porsches. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Jamie.

I always chemical strip first before sand blasting.

Please ignore the stamped date on these pictures (unfortunately they are not correct). The date on my camera was stuck in the past.
