New ownership and management.
My father, brother and I will be taking charge of the new company, Restoration Design Inc. and it's daily activites. We drive Porsches and we know Porsches. We know that the customer service/support of the former owner has been lacking and we will strive to improve. Please be patient with us as we move to and set up in a new and modern facility, which should take 2/3 weeks. We will endeavour to ship your parts in a timely fashion, and please do not hesitate to call during business hours if you have questions. Please continue to look at the same website for updates, changes and new parts which we will be adding over time. Looking forward to restoring and building new and lasting relationships in the future.

Thanks

Peter, Mike, and Alex DeJonge

Good Luck on your new venture. &

Will Bill be staying on with your company? I know that some members had problems in the past, but I have bought from Bill for years and have nothing but good to say.

RD has always made superior metal pieces and I hope your desire is to continue this.

If you are putting together a Mailing or eMail list, Please include me

As this is a new beginning~ Welcome to the party!
I have a few questions if that is ok?

What role do you aim to play? Services-Vendor-Manufacturer?

What is the nature of your business? Steel, electrical, engine.

(I realize what it was in the past- perhaps any new directions or offerings also?)
What can we expect to see soon? Thanks- we will forward you some business.

Posted by: Gint Aug 24 2009, 05:52 PM

Right on! I've bought many parts form Bill over the years. I'm ecstatic to see that someone is coming in and will hopefully put forth the resources to keep RD up and running well and into the future.

Good luck!

Congratulations. I'm sure you'll make a success of this.

Question: I placed an order about six weeks ago. Should I re-submit or sit tight and wait for your production run to catch up? Thanks,

I was happy with the service and quality Bill gave me and I was also happy with his prices.

Posted by: naro914 Sep 11 2009, 02:15 PM

Great news!

Bill always made top quality products....all of the replacement parts on Huey came from RD. My only issue with him was that he/they never seemed to answer the phone, and never called back when you left a message. When you actually did get someone to answer, all was good, and he delivered as promised at a very good price.

You will do very well in this market if you:

- Keep up the high quality already established
- Ship on time as promised
- Keep the prices reasonable
- Answer the phone and be honest with everyone. I would rather when I call to be told that it will take 5 weeks to get my part and it be 5 weeks, than be told it will be out in 2 weeks, and it take 5 weeks. Please do not fall into the trap of trying to please everyone. We all appreciate honesty. Bill was honest....just not always responsive!

Good luck!!

I am new to the 914 World, but bought a passenger longitudinal, inner wheelhouse, and jack post from Restoration Design. I did not have any association or knowledge of them previously, but got my parts in a couple of weeks (they had to manufacture one of them as they were out of stock). They look like great quality. I have not gotten around to welding them in yet, but I think they'll be great. Cheaper than others I've seen.

Posted by: TravisG Jan 23 2010, 07:57 PM

I too, must post a positive experience with Resto Design. I posted in the garage area when I first dealt with them, but I thought it might get better notice on this thread.

I ordered the panels to patch the hell hole area on the outside of the battery box. I ordered them on a Monday, and they were in North Carolina by Friday of the same week!

The parts were of great quality and fit very nicely. They needed little to no massaging to work.

A Great company with great customer service

Just my .02 worth, your mileage may vary.

Hey I was just checking out the web site and had a question & a comment.

1st the R. trunk repair section: I have used one of these before for a early
car and it worked out great but I don't see a version of that same piece for
a late (75-76) car? They are shaped different to accommodate the bumper shock
mounts? I need one of these & wonder what my options are?

2nd check out you links section this info is WAY old and outdated.

This is a great service to our 914 community. I recently purchased several items
from the new RD. Same excellent service as I always received from Bill. The
main concern that I have being in the USA, is that the Customs and Shipping Charges are going to be a problem. Hopefully RD will establish a shipping point in the USA, so we can pay the UPS Freight that we have all be accustomed to over the years.

Glad to see you guys continuing to make quality products.
Also, glad to see some new R&D too!!

I purchased a bunch of rust repair and upgrade items from Rest Design years ago and without the availability of such parts my 914 would have been attacked by vultures and turned into scrap.

Not many of you guys have met us, and we are really still in our infancy with Restoration Design. Although the company has been around for 20 years or so, we feel this is a new beginning for RD and there is much to come.

Here is a little intro video of Mike, Alex and myself (Pete) letting you know whats going on here at RD and whats to come.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHLl3bRkvOs


Heres a 912 that we dubbed the "pink pig" We will use this car in upcoming videos to showcase parts and make how to install videos...we have a 914 lined up for videos too. So look out for those in the future.

Pete -

If you guys are going to the Porsche Swap Meet in Anaheim CA 3/4 Sun. &/or the Porsche Lit Meet in LA 3/3 Sat - this coming weekend, then you should put a topic in the Garage Forum for folks to come out & meet you - in addition to posting stuff here.

Same for Hershey, etc. events. AFAIK it's okay for vendors to post that sort of thing & open houses in the Garage forum - as I've seen McMark, ScottyB & others do it there as vendors.

If not LA/Anaheim this year, then consider it for next year, since it gets you in front of a huge number of SoCal Porsche owners of all models which you serve, out here in the hot bed of Porsche-mania! Plus you can take the family to Disneyland with less crowds the weekdays before/after!

I'd think if you're just telling folks where you'll be to meet up, that it would be okay to do that in the Garage Forum.

Others were posting in the Garage whenever they had a new 914 product out, but even that seemed to apply to some & not other vendors as to it not or being kosher.

Cary,

I have noticed that you have a very rusty car from your restoration thread. Although that would probably be a good part to make, we have plans for several other 914 parts before the windshield posts.

Well if you are taking suggestions...

Any thought of producing the front and rear stock valences. late type for the rear.. good option would be with stock exhaust cutouts or no cutouts so people could adjust for the different exhaust types.

Posted by: sbsix Mar 4 2016, 12:25 PM

That's a great idea. I would be first in line for a reproduction 914-6 rear valence!

Hi Pete,

How about doing these ?
Yeah, I know I can buy all the piece but I want a factory repro like in the pic.
Well minus the battery box, shelf, and 4 cyl engine bar mount.

I'm sure you know where there's one hanging around..

Here is a little part that I have been working on lately. This is the initial stamping, so it will be improved. It is a depression for the /6 ignition so you guys can convert your 4 to a 6. I know, blurry shot, but you get the idea.

Also I'm currently working on /6 engine tins, so keep your eyes peeled for them. They are modeled off of NOS pieces, and are going to be stamped and laser cut.

Two Parts suggestions and a question.

The suggestion is a body door handle top repair section, for peeps who don't have repair the whole sail panel.

The 2nd is a inner rocker stiffener kit like engman used to sell.

Question is how far does the AC trunk floor repair panel wrap around? A good pic should do.

My Boy is going to need a few panels for his project.

Cool the boys trunk has rust holes all around the rounded edge, that will likely work.
Whole bottom of the trunk is covered in FG, I still have to investigate further.

He's going to have a list of bits to get from you, when he can afford it

There are 5 total pieces. I have a set of dies machined for one piece so far. Im starting to machine a set of dies for a second piece of the tins today. Perhaps they will all be done and polished and ready for production in a month. But I will keep you guys informed.

I wont know until I have totaled my costs for building the dies. Somewhere between 500-$1000. I know thats vague, but we will be somewhere between the two options on the market.

I have been getting more inquiries about front and rear valences as well, so perhaps it will get boosted up the list.

there is extra material around the outside that needs to be trimmed, and there are several depressions to help locate where it needs to get welded into the dash.

If you click on the part description all the Canadian parts say "Made in Canada". These are parts that are made by RD in-house.
If it doesn't say where it's made it's not on sale.

Also a good indicator is if the part has primer on it then RD didn't make it.

RD uses a higher quality steel with a special coating (IIRC) that prevents rust, so they don't have primer paint their panels.

Hi Pete,

Is the edge ( in the red ) rounded or a sharp 90 degrees ?
Also is the air vent hole the correct size to fit into the elbow?

Thanks again for the products that you guys make.

Posted by: peteyd May 1 2017, 10:29 AM

The edge in question has the same radius as the NOS piece I copied. It should not be 90 degrees exact. It is a 5/32 rad.

Here is the NOS piece we have.



Here is my reproduction piece. Both were measured with the same radius gauge. There is a small lip on the other side of this piece where the tube is placed.

Posted by: Luke M May 2 2017, 07:53 AM

Hi Pete,

So it's a copy or as close to as possible of the nos part.
That's what I was asking about. Sorry if I threw you off on the 90 degree thing.

Looks like I need to add this to my list now.

Two other panels will go into the press next week probably. Then if they work out fine laser cutting another week. If adjustments need to be made then add 3 weeks at least.

Then 2 more panels need to be tried and those will take another month at least.

Its hard to tell how long, too many variables.

I was holding off on this piece because getting the NAFTA paperwork for the parts to cross the border has been slow. But it seems that people are in need of this part.

This is an exact copy of the original piece. 7/16-20 thread, spot welded stud to the reinforcement plate. You can see I tested the weld until the correct heat was put into it to ensure the welds hold. These were several wacks with a 25 lb sledge.

I have no price point yet either, so if you're interested in this piece either give me a call, or PM.

Rear latch panel is almost complete.

We just need to add to inventory and the website and then we can sell. If you need one quick send me a PM

there is no additional brackets on the panel, therefore you will need to take off the tail light brackets and the latch bracket from your old panel.

The area circled in red also needs to be cut out after the panel is welded into the car. they help keep the panel in shape to aid in the installation.

These are made with the galvaneal, so if you don't want to paint them, leave them as is and you will see that our sheet metal does not rust!

Time flies, 10 year anniversary of the new RD under the DeJonge family's excellent leadership. Anything special planed for this years open house and swap meet?

I know end of September, but what day is it this year?

BTW if you haven't been to the RD open house it is worth the trip just to see their operation. Every year they have new presses or mills.
Plus they have Timmy's

Yes it is our 10 year anniversary! Boy, time flies!

We are under construction currently adding more warehouse space to accommodate all the new dies and parts we are also working on. Due to this fact, the swap meet will be held at our friends at Whailtail. We still plan to have an open house after the construction is complete. We anticipate that to be in October.

Thanks for continuing to support our cars.

Any plans for door skins or at least the bottom 1/4? I would prefer the entire skin though. Lower door inner section would also be nice, but does not show as much.

We will be hosting our open house in October this year. Currently we are under construction, adding 6000 sq/ft of storage, so when that is complete we would love for you to join us in celebrating 10 years of operation here in Canada!

I tried the tooling and some components broke. I need to sit back and rethink this part and how to stamp it. Sorry, but this part wont be making it to the market for another month or two.

I just looked back at this as a customer needed a console replacement.
Time for another gentle prod...
Any news Pete?

Well, our open house was a success! We had plenty of visitors and a crew of 914's.
Special thanks to Jon Tipper who rallied the 914s for one last cruise before the winter.

Heres some footage of the day

wow that is a beautiful shop/warehouse/showroom!! a complete one stop shop! Congratulations Pete or to your family business Restoration Design!

Posted by: BPic Nov 12 2019, 05:56 PM

Congrats guys and thanks for the support. I may be naive but I was amazed by the equipment you have and after seeing the video and thinking about it, the amount of money you have invested in tooling has to to be crazy. With all that and I still thought the metal I bought from you was very reasonable.
Again thanks for all you do! Please keep up the excellent work.

Not a new product, but the most correct springs you will get on the market.
The differences are on the hooks.

Sorry, I didn't even know that you produced these pieces. I have been getting requests for these pieces lately. They will be a complimentary part that will be available with the front latch panel.

I have some of the reinforcements that Rich 914werke has been asking for. They are just not on the website yet. If you're interested in some give me a call.
