Years of bringing European classics back from the dead - here's the proof
Found this beauty rusting away in a barn outside Kelowna. Owner's dad bought it new, then life happened. Took us 14 months but we brought her back to better than factory spec. Full body-off restoration, engine rebuild, the works.
Work Completed: Full body restoration, engine rebuild, suspension overhaul, interior refurbishment, paint correction
"I honestly cried when I saw it finished. You guys didn't just restore my dad's car - you brought back 40 years of memories." - Michael T.
Previous owner tried doing their own bodywork - let's just say YouTube University failed them hard. We had to undo a lot of damage before we could even start the real work.
This Pagoda had been sitting in a damp garage for 25 years. Seized engine, rotted floors, but the bones were solid. Owner wanted it roadworthy for his 60th birthday - we made it happen with 3 weeks to spare.
Classic Italian rust bucket - but man, when these things are done right, they're gorgeous. Spent more time fighting corrosion than we'd like to admit, but that's what you sign up for with Alfas.
Track day hero that got a little too enthusiastic with a tire wall. Insurance wrote it off but the owner couldn't let it go. We rebuilt the front end, sorted the turbo system that was already acting up, and gave it a proper refresh.
Timeline: 8 months
Scope: Front end rebuild, turbo system overhaul, suspension upgrade, paint & body
"She drives better now than when I first bought her. You guys are magicians."
These little Bavarian boxes are getting rare as hen's teeth now. This one came from Alberta - dry climate saved the rockers but everything mechanical was shot. Complete drivetrain rebuild and we even found proper Alpina wheels for it.
Vancouver rain wasn't kind to this beauty. Soft top was more holes than fabric, interior smelled like a mushroom farm. But that M117 V8? Still purred like a kitten. We gave it the spa treatment it deserved.
Front-engine Porsche that everyone slept on for years. Now they're finally getting respect. This one needed everything - timing belt service that was 15 years overdue, all the rubber bits, electrical gremlins galore.
Italian cars from the 70s are basically rust held together by hope and prayer. We had to fabricate a bunch of floor panels but kept it all original-looking. Owner wanted it for vintage rallies - she's ready to rip.
The best-looking 5-series ever made, fight me. This one sat for a decade after the owner passed. Family wanted to get it running as a tribute. New fuel system, brake overhaul, and she fired right up.
