Restoration, as we understand it: we repair before we replace.

A historic Porsche carries its history in its sheet metal, its leather, its instruments. Whoever simply swaps proven parts for new ones swaps that history away with them. That is why we restore in line with the Charter of Turin — the international guideline for preserving historic vehicles: keep as much original substance as possible, intervene as gently as necessary. This applies to the partial restoration of individual assemblies just as it does to the full restoration of a complete car.

Four trades, one roof, one responsibility.

A restoration quickly falls apart into separate orders when body, paint and engine sit with different companies. Here, everything stays in the house: body construction with sheet-metal repair, our own paint shop, engine rebuilding and assembly work, plus complete vehicle mechanics. One contact person, one standard of quality — from the first assessment to the final acceptance.

The craft behind it.

Only those who master the old techniques and have the right processes in-house can preserve a car true to the original. For us, that includes:

  • Ice and sand blasting as well as complete mechanical paint removal
  • Tinning, corrosion treatment and protection
  • MIG, MAG and TIG welding, hard and soft soldering, aluminium welding
  • Fabricating sheet-metal parts when originals are no longer available
  • Rebuilding the paint from primer to top coat

The interior is part of it too: we recondition seats and interior trim partially or completely — the original materials are often still available. We also take on the overhaul of the instruments.

You are welcome to visit at any time.

A restoration takes time — and it is your car. That is why you are invited to follow the work at every stage: come to the hall, look at the current state, ask questions. We will show you what we have found and what we will do next.

Frequently asked questions about restoration.

What does restoration in line with the Charter of Turin mean?

The Charter of Turin is the international guideline for the preservation of historic vehicles. For our work it means: repair before replacement — original substance is reconditioned and only supplemented where it is unavoidable. This preserves the history and the value of the car.

Can I visit the restoration of my car?

Yes, at any time. You are invited to view your car at every stage of the restoration at our premises in Zehlendorf — from the bare body shell to final assembly.

Do you also do partial restorations?

Yes. Not every car needs the complete rebuild — we also restore individual assemblies, such as body sections, the engine or the interior. What makes sense is something we clarify at the car.

How long does a full restoration take?

That depends on the condition of the car and the scope — as a reference: the full restoration of the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 took two years in our workshop. We will give you a reliable time frame after the assessment.

Can I get original Fuchs wheels from you?

Yes, we are an official dealer of the Fuchsfelge®. Besides new wheels, we also take care of your existing ones — from cosmetic reconditioning in-house to X-ray examination and galvanising at Otto Fuchs KG.

Two cars that speak for us.

The 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 with number 1512 stood in our hall for two years — at the end of the full restoration it was back in Viper Green, as it left the factory. THE GREEN MACHINE shows the other side of our craft: a backdate on a 964 base with around 300 hp, a historic H plate and TÜV certification.

Let us talk about your car.

Whether a concrete project or just an idea: come to us with the car or with pictures — we will take a look and tell you what we recommend and in which steps the work can be structured.
