if its one thing Ive come to realise with old porsches, it is that perfect finish is something you can forget about
watch the movies from the factory fitting the doors in the 80s, they are hanging and pulling them like crazy to make em fit!
and dont get me started on RUF, they slapped em together with some filler here and there and jobs`a good`un - its factory finish and this is coming from Meek who have worked on several on them - including CHOPPING off a roof because it was delivered with a sunroof.
This old myth about original cars being picture perfect must die , wasnt just the dagenham factory who left cheese sandwiches under the paint

Things are a lot different these days with the likes of McLaren, Pagani, Koenigsegg, Tesla around, forcing the old guard to up their game ...

I remember many, many years ago reading In Car magazine how the 911 was built, and how all the panels were carefully aligned......watch the movies from the factory fitting the doors in the 80s, they are hanging and pulling them like crazy to make em fit!
