The project arrived in disordered boxes, poorly dismantled and with missing parts after 7 years of moves between workshops.
911 series F, the beginning of the saga.
In 1963 Porsche presented its new model, a top of the range that was born, more than to take over from the 356, to climb a step above it. Designed by Butzi Porsche, the new Porsche 901 (this is how it was presented to the press before having to change the 0 for a 1 to avoid problems with Peugeot) hit the target with an image that immediately won the approval of the public, with very personal and proportionate lines.
The initial state
This project came to us in the worst possible way, in disorganized boxes, with lost material, poorly disassembled and with 7 years of moving from one location to another by the person guarding the unit.
If there is an important moment when it comes to a restoration it is the moment of disassembling components and parts, their order and classification is very important to us.
Engine Rehabilitation
In this case, the procedure began with decarbonizing and analyzing piece by piece to rebuild this engine according to the brand’s standards. 2.000cubic cms and 6 cylinders with 130hp.
This is the image of the engine once finished and installed.

Interior details are the key
One of our obsessions is leaving vehicles according to their original specifications. In this way, we can shortcut the passage of time and give a vehicle that is more than forty years old the appearance of a model that just left the factory. The process involves knowing every detail of its interior.
The value of restoration is in the details.
