    Time to call it

    well guys , you would have seen the sale i have been having clearing out the last of the stock of products i have .
    Its been a blast over the last 14 years , building R style hotroad 911's - making parts for the cars and selling them all over the world for others to build there project cars.
    We have called it with the super high manufacturing costs and over the top shipping costs its just got too expensive to supply items.
    But its good timing as i am now semi retired , lake side in the north island of nz , spending my time fishing , hunting and 4 wheeling all on my door step.

    Big thanks to all everyone that brought my parts over the years i hope i have have helped in your projects.

    A big loss to the community, but well deserved on your part. Don’t be a stranger.

    I always have wanted to go to New Zealand. If I ever make it there I'll hit you up. Would love to surf there and drive an early 911 in NZ!
