"Home" 3d metal printing

This could add some new options for custom parts. Too expensive for most of us, but it could be affordable through a service.

Old news, but for sure the way of the future. Especially when it comes to rare/vintage car parts.

When you think about the low production numbers on some of Porsches more "quirky" cars it makes a lot of sense as no vendor is going to spin up production for a part that existed on one a couple thousand cars when new.

I think most of the 914/6 stuff has been done because the conversion market is huge but other quirky sub models like the 912e and 924 turbos have some next to impossible to find parts.
