Detailer's Domain: 1989 Porsche C4 - Getting it right for the new owner



The new owner found this gem in the mid west, the car had not been touched for 4 years.



This 1989 Porsche 911 C4 was at the shop for a few things including install new wheels, mount and balance new tires, H&R coilovers, clear corners new steering wheel, seals, fluids you name it we got it done.
