Mechanical Restoration Work

When it comes to rebuilding a 50+ year old Porsche 914, dialing in the mechanical side is an absolute necessity if you want to experience the car the way it should be. We have the knowhow and expertise to thoroughly go through every part on your car and ensure its functioning right, or replace it from the water pump to a shift linkage and everything in between.

    • Clutch system: stretched or snapped cables, worn clutch discs, or pressure plates

Rust Repair & Bodywork

Rust prevention is not something that Porsche did well on the 914s, and as such most cars out there are suffering from some rust issues underneath. You may not be able to see them but chances are they are there. We can take your 914 down to the bare shell and repair and replace any rusty sections on it to give you a solid base once again.

Then we will work our magic and do the painstaking bodywork to get your 914 as straight as it can be for a new coat of paint. Whether you want us to paint it the stock color or do a full color change - we can get it done.
