Every car is a commission, not a restoration

Every commission starts with light, not hammers. The donor shell and every original part we can borrow or source is captured with structured-light scanners at 0.05 mm resolution, from the inner structure to the trim clips.

Our reconstruction model has been trained on the geometry of period Porsche panels. It separates design intent from forty years of dents, filler and hand repair, and outputs a CAD master that represents the part as it left the press tool in Zuffenhausen.

The result is a complete digital twin of your car before a single panel is removed, and a part library that will serve it for the rest of its life.

With the geometry fixed, the car is designed around you. Chassis, body, colour, stance, interior materials and mechanical specification are chosen together in the Sonderwunsch configurator.

Your configuration becomes a shared document between you and Juan Carlos. We refine it in the studio with samples in hand: leather hides, paint sprayouts, wheel centres, veneer. Nothing is cut until the specification is signed.

This is the moment a restoration becomes a commission. No two specifications have ever been the same.

From the approved CAD masters we generate tooling: hammer forms, wheeling bucks, body jigs, drill guides, check fixtures and trim patterns. Two large-format printers run overnight, so a tool that once took a pattern-maker a month exists by morning.

Because each tool is derived directly from the factory geometry, every part formed over it is accurate to the factory. The craftsman no longer guesses; he verifies.

We print the tooling. We never print the car.

Now the old craft begins. Steel and aluminium panels are wheeled, planished and hand-finished over the printed forms, then lead-loaded at the seams as Porsche did. Billet trim, wheel centres and brightwork are machined from the same digital master.

Inside, hides are cut to digitally derived patterns and hand-stitched. Carpets are woven to order in wool. Dashboards are veneered in book-matched walnut or machined from aluminium. Glass is thin, correct and new.

Authentic materials are not a nostalgic choice; they are what gives a coachbuilt car its weight, its sound, its patina and its value.

The engine is built in-house and proven on the dyno. Suspension is corner-weighted and aligned to the stance you chose. Every system is tested, then the car completes a 500-mile shakedown on the roads around Laredo.

Handover happens at the workshop: a walk-through of your car with Juan Carlos, the build book, the digital twin, and a first drive together. If you prefer, we deliver enclosed, anywhere in the world.
