Setting a new standard for the restoration of Competition Porsches

I am the first person that I know of that has restored a classic 911 by unpicking every panel and rebuilding the car from the floor up. I retained all the factory welds in the process by welding in between the welds grinding them flat leaving the original factory welds visible as they were when it left the factory in 1973. The welds are stronger for the process. Every conceivable metal that could be reinstated, was and where the metal was too fatigued I copied the number of welds that was originally used when installing NOS panels. Even when a complete NOS panel was installed new metal was cut away and replaced with original salvageable metal.  It took 9 months to plan and two years on a factory jig bed using factory jig brackets of which I own a full set (available for hire). I can confidentally state the most successful 2.7 RS of all time, AUI 1500, was restored as accurately and with as much original metalwork as was deemed safe enough to reuse. Never before have I come across a competition 911 that has been restored this way. It had to be done because this car is so important to the history of Porsche and all competition cars however damaged they may be from competing should be restored this way and I am proud to have done it.
