Tech Session – 968 Restoration Project – Mantis Autosport

Join us at Mantis Autosport on Saturday, April 6 from 10:30am – 12:30pm for a Tech Session featuring a restored 968.

Porsche 944/968 are great cars, especially when well maintained and looked after.   This tech session will cover a wide range, and long list, of things to do to maintain and restore these cars.

Mantis Autosport have decades of experience in servicing 944 and 968, both for road and track, and this tech session will walk through a recent extensive maintenance program carried out on a 968.   This is more about a wide scope of items that might benefit from attention, rather than deep-dive on any one item.   The aim is to give owners some ideas for a to-do list to check and maybe service on their own cars.
