    Visit to Pete's Shop

    It is a pretty cool place. Photographs well, even with my cheap point and shoot Canon.

    Regards

    Looks like Pete Sorensen's shop, PBR Restorations. Nice early car guy. Been around for a long while working on Porsches.
    Delivered many sets of wheels there .....You can tell he is a trusted mechanic by the 6 pipe car in the photo

    Pete has been working on and restoring early Porsches since 1976 when he bought his first Porsche, a 67 911S. He has been in his shop in Crockett, Ca since 1979.
    He is trying to downsize a bit. He has been a closely guarded secret for decades!

    It's a great shop, and the building he's in is VERY cool. Had the pleasure of having Pete up here for a visit, turned out he knew one of my dad's old army buddies, very small world!
