Here's another fun project we finished up. This was a 993 purchased from Crevier Classic Car Collection. Some of the nicest cars in the US are stored on display there. Client purchased this 993 and wanted us to take her back to the day she was first built; or as close as possible. Grab some pop corn...enjoy!!

Seats are removed to gain full access to carpets and floors







You find things you could never access...nickle lodged between seat



Scuff removed using All-Natural Leather Cleaner



Hinges and seat rails cleaned of old grease and dirt



Everything cleaned and back in order



Bolts properly torqued back in place







Spare polished and waxed and tire conditioned









We always catalog everything to make sure no parts are lost or damaged





























Lights are all tested prior to final assembly

 

At some point in this 993's life, someone cut the stone guard edge



Swirls and buffer marks from improper technique were quite apparent







The top was no longer protected.



We begin a multi-step reconditioning of the cabrio top by first cleaning with a mild cleaner and a little elbow grease



Wheels removed to gain full access to inside of barrel



Old cosmoline over spray is pretty common on 993s







Wheels cleaned and polished without use of acids or harsh chemical. Only citrus cleaner and a unique polishing soap were used. Wheels were then polished and sealed



Old stone guard removed. This process alone took about six man hours to complete





Client wanted OEM stone guard from Porsche. Unfortunately, the OEM version was flawed at the edges. We ended up making a custom piece for both sides



Someone had crazy glued emblem back on at some point



After light sanding and polishing, this area was ready for new emblem









Final step to reconditioning top. 303 Fabric Guard is applied and allowed to cure



When done properly, top should bead water, resist soiling, and protect against UV rays and discoloration

 

Thank you for taking the time to view this. We feel that these modern classics are nearing a point in their life where service like this is part of the ownership experience and further enhances the appreciation for the owner and the vehicle. As you can hopefully see, the scope of work requires tremendous amount of experience and knowledge of these vehicles, but more importantly, an overwhelming degree of passion. We hope you share this with other fellow enthusiasts and keep the passion moving.

 

Props to a most definite master of the art of automotive appearance care. I love the 993 and you made this car look new again. Can't be cheap, but nothing good ever is.

 

Another awesome job !!

 

We love doing restoration details because it truly brings these cars back to life and it's like they almost haven't aged. Our job isn't to make them look like a current model, rather, be the best they can possibly look and also keep their character.

Thanks for the kind words.

 

Thank you Sir !!
