Thumbs up Oldskool heritage 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder reflects on a Newskool Cayman S "PDK"......

Here is a very unique Beck 550 Spyder that I did a for a VIP customer of mine. It had been up north for sometime, the builder fabricated it but it just sat on the showroom floor without an owner. Its a 2007 that had 500 miles sporting a twin weber 2156cc built V.W. engine. It had been very neglected and needed some love as it sat in the factory looking for a new home when my client stummbled across it. SOLD....perfect mate for his 2009 Porsche Cayman S "PDK"

Rebal without a cause

Oldskool meets Newskool...........after extensive paint correction was performed for major water spot damage and lots of dull scratched areas......

ONR mixed at appropriate ratio applied using a pump sprayer, which allows mist to attach to surface contaminants
