Welcome to Panelcraft -- About panel work at 9m

Panelcraft repairs and insurance repairs accident damaged Porsches; it restores tired Porsches to full health and it involves itself in the creation of completely unique Porsches that the factory could not or did not have the foresight to create.

Our repair work is second to none not just because we use the best equipment to ensure absolute adherence to factory specification but because the same team with same intimate knowledge of Porsches that lets us create unique vehicles carries through repair work. Our superior work is competitively priced; insurance companies demand efficiency.

Our restoration work ranges from the practical right through to fanatical; we have recently restored cars to a standard that surpasses that of the original show room finish.

Bespoke Porsche at Panelcraft is where the sheet metal and beautiful paintwork that adorns our unique Porsche creations comes together. There are several Porsche models that ought to have been built by the factory that weren’t, a 993 Speedster for example could only be beautiful, given the smooth lines of the starting point. The factory didn’t go there but we have – we are creating a 993 Speedster at the present time.

993 RSR

This car was created for one of our customers to an exacting specification. For a glimpse of the finished product in the metal and in action check out this video. |Video

To learn more of the painstaking process that brought this car into existence, a car arguably better than anything you might buy regardless of cost, watch the slide show and narrative.

1971 911T

This immaculate reborn 911T is a restoration rather than a unique 9m build but is definitely worth a look. It comes with the very sad truth of being the last request of a dying man that it be finished.

We can only hope he can look down and be happy because the finished car is resplendent in its restored livery, with new panel work and mechanicals. Pictures cannot do this car justice – it is better than it was when first sold – partly because it is now rust-proofed using modern products and partly because it hasn’t been built as one of several but as a labour of dedication.

9mRS® 964RS Right Hand Drive

Any Porsche RS is built for drivers which makes it all the more of a mystery why Porsche insist on creating more left-hand drive RS cars than right hand. Couldn’t be a commercial decision could it – the USA buys most of Porsche’s production even if they drive in straight lines!

Whatever the reason if you want a right hand drive RS they are like gold dust to find. So Unique 9m take a standard 911, 964 or 993 and remanufacture it as a 9mRS to create a brand new 964 or 993RS. The benefits aside from a brand new vehicle are cost and the possibility of a unique specification. For more details we are producing a micro-site specifically in response to enquiries regarding the 9mRS Programme.

9m Unique® 993 Speedster

The 964 Speedster is a rare and attractive thing. It is clear that the sexier lines of the 993 might produce an even more glorious incarnation of the Speedster lineage and yet Porsche didn’t create one. So we are doing so – which means creating custom body panels as we go. Not only will our creation look the part it will also have immense torsional rigidity thanks to novel proprietary 9m stiffeners.

Your Unique 9m Supercar

One of the great things about car enthusiasts is whilst there is a lot in common we have a unique view on what makes a perfect car. If you like your sports cars more of a GT, comfortable with driveability and a competent ride then a track car simply isn’t for you. The key thing here though is the Unique aspect – 9m create unique cars, based on a Porsche of course, to create a perfect car for the owner. Porsches that simply weren’t built or Porsches enhanced to suit precise personal requirements – 9m Unique.
