It All Started With A Magala Red Porsche 914…

With over two decades immersed in the world of German air-cooled engineering, my journey began—and continues—with the Porsche 914. From apprenticing under Porsche legends to leading restorations at elite shops across the country, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering every nuance of the 914 and 914-6.

Complete & Partial Porsche 914 Restorations

Beginning with a complete teardown we will prepare and strip your chassis, coat in epoxy primer and assess for any rust or chassis repairs. We can then create a plan to repair and rebuild your 914 completely to better-than-new condition. We leave no bolt unturned with our restorations to ensure that you leave with a 914 that’s arguably better than it was once it rolled off the showroom floor.

We specialize in Type 4 VW engine rebuilding and tuning on D-Jetronic, L-Jetronic or carbureted motors. We build fully-balanced and tuned Type 4 engines for the Porsche 914s to deliver fantastic drivability, better throttle response, and the experience that Porsche truly had in mind for these cars.

Beyond full rebuilds, if your Type 4 motor needs a tune-up, injection system rebuild or anything else of that nature we can get it done.

914 Rust Repair and Abatement

For all of the exemplary points of the Porsche 914, it’s rust resilience is not one of them.

The 914 was built as a non-galvanized uni-body chassis that has proven to be quite susceptible to rust in several crucial areas. We can assess your chassis for rust and if found, create a plan to repair and stop it from progressing further.
