FULL RESTORATION
A project’s process should be a perfectly planned-out road
That is only possible if the standards are well clarified!
That is why every restoration follows a clearly defined process! This process is the minimum standard of our work – and will, of course, be adapted or extended to fit your customisation requests.
A racing car needs a modified shell, a special motor, a racing chassis but no leather furnishings – which, of course, needs to be taken account of during our process.
We start out with a check up on the vehicle’s applicability. The check up includes the following steps:
- Thorough cleaning of the exterior and interior
- Visual examination of the paint
- Visual examination of the shell
- Visual examination of the interior
- Functional check of all components e.g. air conditioning/heating, lighting, control devices, etc.
- Test drive
- Visual examination of the chassis / brakes / motor

The second step is dry-ice-blasting. It includes:
- Disassembly of all underbody panelling
- Disassembly of front mask, rear panels, and rocker panels
- Disassembly of all lighting parts
- Cleaning and storage of all disassembled panels
- Draining motor oil, gearbox oil, washing water and brake fluid
- Removal of the motor and gearbox
- Transfer for blasting
- Dry-ice-blasting of the underbody, front, rear, and motor compartment

After dry-ice-blasting is completed, we determine the restoration’s extent:
- Additional visual examination of the underbody in search for corrosion and damage
- Determining the extent of shell restoration
- Checking the chassis components
- Checking all wires and lines (brakes, fuel, oil, etc.)
- Removal of the oil tank, oil cooler. and all oil lines (lines will always be renewed)
- Overhaul or renewal Chassis and brake parts

Next up is the preparation for painting:
- Disassembly of the interior
- Disassembly of all panes
- Dismount and disassembly of all shell parts like doors, hood, sunroof, etc.

Now, we’re bringing each assembly group to their respective work plants:
- Shell to body construction/painter
- Interior to saddlery (new cushions and leather covers for seats and fairings)
- Overhaul of the fittings
- In case of defects, overhaul of electronical parts
- Motor and gearbox to Plant 1

While shell and interior are being processed, we revise the motor and gearbox.
We take a closer look at motor and gearbox. Every detail will be thoroughly inspected.
Motor:
- Complete motor disassembly and cleaning all parts
- Crank case check-up, measuring and treatment if necessary, renewal of cylinder stud if necessary
- Crankshaft check-up, measuring, painting and renewal if necessary
- Connecting rod check-up, measuring, angling, renewal of bearings
- Valve drive, intermediate shaft, control chains, etc. check-up, measuring and renewal of worn-out parts
- Camshaft, rocker arm, rocker shafts, etc. check-up, measuring and renewal if necessary
- General overhaul of cylinder studs
- Piston and cylinder check-up, measuring and in most cases renewal
- Cam chest, chain case, etc. check-up, measuring and treatment/renewal if necessary
- Dismounting crank case (all bearings, seals, etc. are being renewed)
- Wearing parts like clutch will be renewed
- Renewal of Ancillary units like starter, generator, overhaul of ignition distributor (renewal if necessary)
- Functionality check-up of mounting parts, renewal if necessary
- Removal of engine tin, blasting and powder coating (damaged parts will be replaced and treated in the same way)
- Fresh zinc coating for all zinced parts (like the original)
- Exhaust system check-up, blasting and renewal if necessary
- Motor reassembly and final additions for mounting.
Gearbox:
- After visual examination for tightness: disassembling, checking wearing parts (renewal if necessary)
- For all-wheel-drive-vehicles: check front differential’s and drivetrain’s tightness and functionality, overhaul, or renewal of worn-out parts if necessary
After the work at each plant is completed, the reassembly will be executed at Plant 1 or Plant 2, depending on the extent of the following work steps:
- Mounting chassis and brakes (either overhauled or new parts)
- Mounting oil cooler systems (all wires/lines are new)
- Completing the shell with seals and piping (doors, hoods, trims, etc.)
- Mounting lighting systems, functionality check and insert panes
- Applying new floor mats and new roof linings if necessary, re-applying all interior
- Mounting motor and gearbox, test run
- Mounting the wheels (paint removed, powder coated, new tires)
- Measuring the vehicle (height, wheel load, fine-tuning toe and camber)
- Test drive / check-up of all functions / quality check
- Presentation for approval of general inspection, adding individualisation if necessary
- Handover inspection and eventual handover
