Porsche Restoration in Lecco

Turnkey Packages

For decades, our workshop has been offering turnkey packages for the complete restoration of iconic Porsche models — from the 356 to the early 911 series, including the 930 and 964. We supply original or faithfully reconstructed body panels, engines, gearboxes, and interiors, and use original alignment jigs to ensure chassis accuracy — even for damaged cars — so that every vehicle returns to its original glory.

Restoration Phases

VEHICLE ASSESSMENT

The process begins by requesting the car’s Certificate of Origin from the manufacturer to verify engine, gearbox, and chassis numbers (matching numbers) as well as optional features. After an in-person inspection — and, if necessary, partial disassembly — we provide a detailed evaluation and recommendations for any required work.

DISASSEMBLY

Every component of the car is completely disassembled to assess whether each part should be restored or replaced. The chassis remains “bare,” while the engine and gearbox are separated for inspection and rebuilding.

STRIPPING

This is the first step of the restoration process: the body and frame are stripped using high-pressure water blasting. This reveals the true condition of the metal and allows us to estimate the final restoration cost more accurately.

BODYWORK – ENGINE – GEARBOX

BODYWORK : The car is mounted on our alignment bench to check that all reference points match the original factory specifications. Any rusted or damaged sections are replaced with original or custom-fabricated panels.

ENGINE: Once the crankshaft, engine block, and connecting rods return from our trusted machine shop, we reassemble the engine using new or reconditioned components as needed. After assembly, the engine undergoes a bench test to verify its performance and fine-tuning.

GEARBOX: The casing and gears are checked at our specialist workshop. Synchronizers, bearings, sleeves, and any worn components are replaced to ensure smooth, reliable operation.

PREPARATION – PAINTING – POLISHING

PREPARATION: After applying an anti-corrosion primer to protect the metal from the elements, the body is carefully sanded and shaped to achieve perfectly uniform surfaces.

PAINTING: Our state-of-the-art spray booth allows us to dry paint at 60 °C in just over 30 minutes. Soundproofing and underbody coatings are applied according to the car’s year of production.

POLISHING: Once the paint has cured, the car undergoes advanced polishing processes to achieve optimal gloss and long-lasting finish.

INTERIOR (UPHOLSTERY)

We collaborate with our trusted upholsterer to recreate interiors exactly as they were originally, using the Certificate of Origin to ensure accurate colors and materials for each model.

REASSEMBLY

This is the most meticulous stage of the process. We begin by installing the electrical system, suspension, hoods, doors, trims, lights, interiors, seals, and finally, the engine and gearbox. Each vehicle is then balanced on four scales to ensure proper weight distribution, followed by wheel alignment on every axle. The restoration concludes with a test drive, where we relive the passion and precision that define every Pentacar project.
