Volkswagen classics

Volkswagen classics (Beetle, Bus, Karmann)

From rust through to throttle valves: we restore substance - with bodywork, technology and clean electrics.

Porsche 356,911912

Porsche (356, early 911/912)

Originality, a perfect fit and the right torques - so that it feels like a Porsche, not "just about".

The veterans' process

From the idea to the test drive - in clear steps

A project doesn't become good by doing a lot - but by doing the right things in the right order. That's how we work:

Project check & target image

(Original, "sympathetic", or "performance")

Disassembly & findings

(photos, dimensions, parts list)

Body & inner frame

(rust, fits, gaps)

Engine & gearbox

(repair, construction, tightness)

Electrics & peripherals

(wiring harness, light, charging system)

Paint & interior

(surface & feel)

Tuning & test drive

(temperatures, smooth running, setup)

Testimonials

Is there a project in your garage

You don't need to know everything - but you should know what you're starting with. In a short initial meeting, we will clarify Condition, goal, rough outlay, timeline and whether your vehicle should be "patina with character" or "like new, but honest" .
