That's a beautiful car. It's filthy though! I would have to detail that car every time I drove it.

They plan to clean it up before putting her back together, John. It would drive me crazy knowing that its so dirty inside too.

I agree the car is filthy. Kuzi should take better care of it.

5000 mile service? I wonder, does that include the miles it has been trailered and trucked. It would seem to me it would be pretty hard to get that many miles clocked without taking it out of the garage.

I've driven that car in my dreams at least 3000 miles.. Do virtual miles count?

Great pictures.

I am astounded how extensive of a service this is. I guess I'll have to get over my dealership phobia if I ever want to own an exotic.

Great shots!! Never seen a yellow one before!! That seams like a lot of parts to take off for basic service. Is a oil change 30hrs of labor?

It looks like Barrier like you, did you hang out for a while?

I like the fact that the steering wheel on the CGT is the same one my 993 has, funny.

Yep, the 959 has the same wheel as the regular 911s at the time as well. So, it doesn't surprise me that Porsche did the same thing again for their CGT.

I re-edited my post detailing what is all done and clarifying things a bit.

And yeah, the owner gave me permission to take these pictures plus I'm on good terms with the guys at Barrier too.

Under warranty or owners cost?

Great shots btw, really cool to see the process.

So Kuzi, when did you pick that up? Did you sell/trade any of your current cars to get that? You have such an amazing collection. This just tops it off.....
