Dry ice blasting
Repair painting for paint damage
Lights/headlights
Air conditioning and heating
Instruments
Transmission / drive Overhaul
Fuel system

All our 964s are restored according to defined standards.
It starts with checking the initial condition of each vehicle. This check includes the following steps:
Thorough cleaning of the exterior and interior
Visual inspection of the paintwork
Visual inspection of the bodywork
Visual inspection of the interior
Functional test of all components such as air conditioning/heating, lighting control units, etc.
Test drive
Visual inspection of chassis/brakes/engine
The second step is dry ice blasting. This includes:
Removal of all underbody panels
Removal of the front mask, rear trim, and sill panels
Removal of all lighting elements
Dismantling, cleaning, and storing all removed panels
Draining the engine oil, transmission oil, washer fluid, and brake fluid
Remove engine and transmission
Transport to dry ice blasting
Dry ice blasting of underbody, front, rear, and engine compartment
After dry ice blasting, the scope of the restoration is determined:
Repeat visual inspection of the underbody for corrosion and damage
Determination of the scope of bodywork
Inspection of the chassis components
Inspection of all lines (brake, fuel, oil, etc.)
Removal of the oil tank, oil cooler, and all oil lines (lines are generally replaced)
Chassis and brake components are generally overhauled or replaced
Now the preparation for the paintwork begins:
Removal of the parts required for repair painting
The individual assemblies are now taken to the respective trades:
Body to the body shop/paint shop
Interior to the upholstery department (seats and trim for refurbishment)
Dashboard for overhaul
Overhaul electronic components depending on defects
Engine and transmission sent to Plant 1 for complete overhaul
While the bodywork and interior are being worked on, the engine and transmission are overhauled. The overhaul generally includes:
Engine:

Reassemble engine, complete for installation
Transmission:
After visual inspection for leaks, blast clean and disassemble
Check wear parts and replace if necessary
For all-wheel drive vehicles, check front differential and drive train for leaks and proper function; replace worn parts or overhaul components if necessary
Once the individual tasks have been completed, assembly takes place in Plant 1 or Plant 2, depending on capacity, in the following steps:
Assemble chassis/brakes (either overhauled or new components)
Install oil cooling system (all lines/hoses new)
Complete the body with new seals and piping (doors, hoods, trim strips, etc.)
Install lighting and check function
Install new carpet set and, if necessary, new headliner
Insert windows
