State-of-the-art restorations

 

If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run.

And if you do that , you will have enough to pay for something better.

THE CAR 

The original car to start the project with is always a rust free and straight car, as complete as possible to guaranty the originality of some important parts, such as the interior wood panels or the bumpers which could be a lower quality when remanufactured. Cars are sourced in California or other favorable dry climates (lack of salt used on roads during winter).

THE RESTORATION  

The full restoration process will take 10 to 12 months and a total of 1.500 to 2.000 hours of labour of the various craftmen (Body worker, Painter, Mechanic, Electrician, Veneerer, Trimmer ...).

In Auto Storica we do have all these craftmen in our own staff team and the restorations are run without any subcontract. This way the step by step quality control is optimized and we can fully guaranty the final result.
