The importance of a professional car restoration
There has been, with a special emphasis since the nineties, an exponential increase in the nostalgia of classic cars, causing a very significant increase in the movement around their world.

The euphoricity of demand and a certain lack of awareness among some enthusiasts led to a disproportionate appreciation of the market, which gave rise to the appearance of bad classics, both in originality and restoration.

Naturally this situation has led to the arising of some opportunism by some market operators, which has been combated through now well defined new criteria, of quality and certification and classic cars real value. This situation left many pseudo-restaurations unearthed with consequent loss of value.

In this context, the market imposed requirements, stabilized prices, and valued the true classics, both for their state of originality and for the quality of their restoration, making them excellent financial investment products.

A true classic car, in addition to being a profitable financial investment, is also an inexhaustible source of pleasure for its users, once all its aesthetic, mechanical and safety features have been restored, we will be able to enjoy all the emotions of driving as if it was being used for the first time after leaving the factory.

So, a restoration must be carried out by a professional team, complete, experienced and passionate about their work in order to guarantee respect for all the technical and aesthetic details giving the car its classification as classic.

A restoration requires the complete disassembly of the car when it is in a high state of degradation; the paint stripping and bases (allowing to check the condition of its structural and fuselage elements); repair of its structural elements; treatment of the car plate using the replacement of damaged parts with new or newly built parts for each specific situation; verification and reconstruction of all safety systems such as suspensions, steering, braking and passive safety; plate protection and respective painting; review of all the active mechanics of the car, with the necessary disassembly, replacement of wear elements, rectification, reassembly and tuning; review of the electrical system ensuring that all systems operate in their original conditions; and finally the treatment of the interior and exterior elements of the car, namely, the upholstery, the finishing elements and exterior adornments such as chrome, friezes, emblems etc.
All the steps mentioned require a deep knowledge of the model in question as well as a passionate dedication from its executors, because only that way is will be possible to guarantee a perfect and original restoration.

It is therefore essential the confidence that you must feel in the team to which you have decided to entrust the restoration of your classic car, making sure that they perform all tasks with commitment and knowledge and that allow the monitoring of the work progress with permanent interactivity on the course of activities.
 
One of the main problems with classic car restorations is their duration, in many cases it can dragging on for years which inevitably places a significant burden on the project and often saturates its owner, leading, unfortunately, in some cases to abandoning the project.

Only a garage totally dedicated to the restoration of classic cars, with a multidisciplinary team, experienced, passionate about their work and properly interconnected, taking advantage of all the synergies of their knowledge, can guarantee the execution of a restoration within the initially proposed period of time.
