Classic vehicle restoration
Complete restoration and project management from the first assessment to the finished car. We plan and coordinate the work so your classic is beautiful, well built and a pleasure to drive.
Condition assessment. Clarity for the right decision.
A condition assessment is the first required step before every restoration we undertake. We clarify your goals, examine the car's technical condition and identify the work required. We then prepare cost and time estimates and decide together on the next step.
You can order it as a standalone service. The assessment does not commit you to a restoration. If the planned restoration is not worthwhile given the car's condition, your goals or the available budget, we tell you honestly.
Personalized Restoration Plan for Your Car
We begin every restoration with a thorough condition assessment and a personal consultation. We get to know your car’s current condition, your goals, how you intend to use it and the budget you have in mind. Based on this, we prepare a personalised restoration plan, define the required work, compile the parts list and prepare an estimate of the expected costs. Not everything can be seen in advance during a restoration, so we continuously refine the plan as disassembly and restoration work progress. We communicate transparently throughout so that you always know where the project stands, what decisions come next and how costs are developing.
Restoration process
We provide a 6-month warranty on all work we carry out. Larger projects and complete restorations receive a longer warranty under individual terms.
-
Initial consultation
We get to know your car, your goals, your ideas and how you intend to use the finished vehicle. Based on photos, videos and documents, we make an initial assessment of whether the project fits our workshop’s profile.
-
Condition assessment
We inspect the car in detail in our workshop. We assess the technical and cosmetic condition of its main systems and gather the information that forms the basis of the project plan and cost estimate.
-
Project plan and cost estimate
Based on the condition assessment, we define the necessary work, compile the initial parts list and estimate labour, parts and subcontractor costs. Together, we then decide on the restoration’s technical scope and direction.
-
Contract and project launch
If the project’s technical and financial scope meets your requirements, we sign a written contract. We record the tasks, decision points and project documentation, and reserve the necessary workshop capacity.
-
Disassembly and detailed diagnostics
In the first stage of the restoration, we professionally disassemble, clean and examine each component and subsystem in detail. Based on the hidden faults discovered, we refine the task list, parts requirements and, where necessary, the cost estimate.
-
Parts sourcing and execution
We handle parts procurement, work in our own workshop and coordination of the required specialists. The entire project stays under one roof, so you do not have to coordinate with different professionals.
-
Documentation and ongoing consultation
We document the entire project with photos, videos, a parts list and itemised working-time records. You can regularly follow the project’s progress, the work completed and the development of costs.
-
Assembly, testing and handover
We assemble the completed subsystems, adjust them and check them in operation. Depending on the nature of the project, we may carry out a test programme covering several hundred kilometres to ensure that the car is not only finished but also genuinely reliable to use.
Transparent Billing and Peace of Mind
With monthly billing, you can pay in smaller installments, making it easier to plan your expenses. At the beginning of each month, we provide a detailed summary of the project's progress, including costs, completed work, and plans.
We document every step of the restoration with photos and videos, allowing you to be part of the journey and experience the process firsthand.
Start with an assessment before committing to a full restoration
A full restoration can require hundreds or even thousands of working hours, making it a significant investment. With us, however, you do not need to commit to a long-term project straight away.
We begin every restoration with a detailed condition assessment. Based on this, we identify the work required and prepare a detailed cost estimate, offering several technical and budget options wherever possible.
We only begin work once we have jointly agreed on the goals and expected budget, and confirmed that the result you expect can realistically be achieved within the available budget.

Our satisfied clients
They were extremely helpful, from the very first moment they explained clearly what I could expect. Their work was precise and conscientious, with attention to every detail. I particularly appreciated that the clutch problem that arose was solved under warranty, flexibly and quickly.
From the very first moment, Attila and his team were incredibly professional and easy to trust. I felt 100% confident in their work — it was clear they knew exactly what needed to be done, they were skilled, and they genuinely enjoyed what they do. Now I have a car that took time to restore, but it’s reliable, enjoyable and perfectly usable even on a daily basis.
