It starts with an inspection of the initial condition of each vehicle. This inspection 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 check 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 dismantled panels
Drain the engine oil, transmission oil, washer fluid and brake fluid
Remove the engine and gearbox
Transporting to the dry ice removal shop
Dry ice blasting the underbody, front, rear and engine compartment
After dry ice blasting, the scope of the restoration is determined:
Renewed visual inspection of the underbody for corrosion and damage
Determination of the scope of the body work
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 painting work begins:
Dismantling the necessary parts for the refinishing work
Now the individual assemblies are taken to the respective trades:
Bodywork to the body shop / painter
Interior to the upholstery shop (seats and trim to be refurbished)
Fittings for overhaul
Depending on the defect, overhaul electronic components
Engine and gearbox completely overhauled in Plant 1
While the body and interior are being worked on, the engine and gearbox are overhauled. The overhaul generally includes
Engine:

Pressure loss and visual inspection
Dismantle the engine up to the camshaft housings, clean all parts
Wear parts such as the clutch etc. are generally replaced
Replace auxiliary units such as starter motor, alternator
Overhaul ignition distributor, replace if necessary
Check attachment parts for function, replace if necessary
Paint stripping, blasting and powder coating of engine sheet metal (damaged parts are replaced and also processed)
Re-galvanize all galvanized parts (as original)

Re-galvanize all galvanized parts (as original)
Check exhaust system for blasting, replace if necessary
Assemble engine, complete for installation
Gearbox:
After visual inspection for leaks, blast disassemble
Check wear parts and replace if necessary
For all-wheel drive vehicles, check front differential and drivetrain for leaks and function, replace worn parts or overhaul components if necessary
Once the individual trades 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 bodywork with new seals and piping (doors, hoods, trim strips, etc.)
Fit lighting Check function
Fit new carpet set and, if necessary, new headlining
Fit windows
Install the interior
Installing the engine and gearbox, commissioning
Fit wheels (rims stripped of paint, powder-coated, new tires)
Measure the vehicle (adjust height, wheel load, toe, camber, etc.)
Test drive / check all functions / quality check
Demonstration for acceptance of the main inspection, registration of customizations if necessary
Handover inspection before delivery
