This is the workshop where I have my 914 maintained. I was asked to make a short film to show the new facility.
It's the first time I filmed using a DSLR. I wanted to have a retro "filmic" look.

Can someone give me a hand to polish the english subtitles ? (text file attached)
If you want to read the subtitles while watching the movie you must click on the related button in the menu bar under the video.

I also like the look that the DSLR gives... but you have to fight with a lot of issues ... Crappy sound, aliasing, moiré ... and focusing can be be tricky with those wide opened manual lenses...

Yes a beautiful video!!! Thanks for sharing!
Johny Blackstain
damn Johannes, you always put together great videos thumb3d.gif

Nice video!! I don't speak French, but the subtitles looked good to me.
Krieger
The video is great! Very clean shop. Its odd to see someone welding on the floor pan while standing up...
trojanhorsepower
That is a nice video!

I love the rotisserie.
VaccaRabite
For me that rotisserie was the coolest part of the video!

00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:37,950
Art Restoration is not an idea
that came suddenly

2
00:00:37,950 --> 00:00:40,890
Rather, it is the idea
to be independent

3
00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:44,490
professionally speaking, to live
my passion, to be autonomous,

4
00:00:44,490 --> 00:00:49,010
to work on Porsches.

5
00:00:49,010 --> 00:00:52,840
Today Art Restoration
has 10 employees.

6
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,340
The workshop is 1400 square meters.

7
00:00:55,340 --> 00:01:00,010
Clients entrust us with their cars
for different work,

8
00:01:00,010 --> 00:01:04,640
from simple maintenance to
complete restoration

9
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,880
We will actually do work on demand

10
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,140
placing much importance on managing the car

11
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:17,140
budgeting for
various aspects of repair

12
00:01:20,350 --> 00:01:25,000
bodywork is at the heart
of Art Restoration.

13
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:28,790
I am fortunate to have
hired in my team,

14
00:01:28,790 --> 00:01:31,650
people who are as
demanding as I am.

15
00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:34,540
We are now equipped
with the tools

16
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:41,540
to allow us to fully reconstruct
a car if necessary.

17
00:01:42,430 --> 00:01:46,300
Classic 911's were painted
with solvent-based paints,

18
00:01:47,010 --> 00:01:49,900
and we are a rare or even unique
garage in Alsace

19
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,340
in that we are equipped with solvent-based paints.

20
00:01:53,340 --> 00:01:55,880
Water-based paint never seems
to have the same finish,

21
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,960
the same color, the same depth,

22
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,049
and when speaking of metallic colors
as they were done at the time,

23
00:02:02,049 --> 00:02:04,000
with a water-based paint,
we are far from the mark.

24
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,000
Whereas with our solvent-based paints,

25
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600
we really approach the
finishes of the time.

26
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,389
a "flat" engine is
technologically simple

27
00:02:16,389 --> 00:02:19,700
The implementation is complicated, however.
...it always leaks, oozes.

28
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:23,359
Rebuilding an engine is not only
disassembly, cleaning , and reassembly,

29
00:02:23,359 --> 00:02:25,939
but there are a lot of checks,

30
00:02:25,939 --> 00:02:29,900
adjustment to be made
to build a reliable engine

31
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:34,129
which runs smoothly and does not leak.

32
00:02:34,129 --> 00:02:37,959
We have set up a workshop with
machine tools with a person for

33
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:40,549
fitting, turning, and mill operation.

34
00:02:40,549 --> 00:02:44,049
It enables us to assemble
engines with a quality level

35
00:02:44,049 --> 00:02:46,900
and reliability that is remarkable.

36
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:53,879
Our general philosophy is,
above all, customer satisfaction,

37
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,500
which means, cars are sold

38
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:59,899
with as much transparency as possible.

39
00:02:59,899 --> 00:03:01,700
Customers who buy a car
from us will know

40
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:03,429
its strengths and
weaknesses

41
00:03:03,429 --> 00:03:07,589
when someone comes for maintenance
we will give them advice

42
00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:09,769
and above all, we will solve
the problems.

43
00:03:09,769 --> 00:03:12,600
We take pride in not letting a car go

44
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,000
until the problems are resolved.

45
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Restoring Fuchs wheels

46
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,100
is also an important element
of our business.

47
00:03:25,489 --> 00:03:29,239
Three years ago, I met a German
who still has the know-how

48
00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:32,009
to restore Fuchs wheels
as it they were done originally.

49
00:03:32,009 --> 00:03:34,709
He retired and I took over
his business,

50
00:03:34,709 --> 00:03:37,100
and now we restore
Fuchs rims.

51
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:44,879
At the Art Restoration facility

52
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,389
the company is more than just the men that work here.

53
00:03:50,389 --> 00:03:52,109
-it is the customers.

54
00:03:52,109 --> 00:03:53,559
Many customers become friends.

55
00:03:53,559 --> 00:03:57,069
For me, my passion for Porsches
is driving the cars.

56
00:03:57,069 --> 00:03:59,779
Porsches have the most to offer
when driving together.

57
00:03:59,779 --> 00:04:02,869
Every Sunday morning , at 8:30am
we meet at the garage,

58
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:04,100
have a bit of coffee...

59
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:06,819
some discussion at "the flat",
and then we drive.

60
00:04:06,819 --> 00:04:08,100
We try to spend
two hours on the road.

61
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,100
We have as much fun
driving a Porsche

62
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,900
as seeing one in front
and another behind.

63
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:13,900
That is great

Thx Johannes. Another great video. Porsche Porn smile.gif .And a pitch for your product if I may. The T-Shirts that I bought from you 2+ years ago are holding up very well. And IIRC, these were not your finest, either. pray.gif If you have a Dawn Patrol T- Shirt, it came from Johannes. Good quality stuff!

00:00:33,330 --> 00:00:37,950
Art restoration was not an idea I had all of a sudden,

5
00:00:49,010 --> 00:00:52,840
today Art Restoration
has 10 employees.

6
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,340
a 13,000 square foot workshop

7
00:00:55,340 --> 00:01:00,010
our clients entrust us with their cars

9
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,880
we will work hard to satisfy your needs

10
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,140
giving great importance to supervising the
work on your car

11
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:17,140
budgeting the work at our various service and
repair stations

12
00:01:20,350 --> 00:01:25,000
bodywork is at the heart of our restoration
craft

13
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:28,790

15
00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:34,540
we are now outfitted with the
equipment

16
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:41,540
for fully reconstructing
a car as necessary

17
00:01:42,430 --> 00:01:46,300
classic 911’s were painted

18
00:01:47,010 --> 00:01:49,900

and when we talk about metallic colors

23
00:02:02,049 --> 00:02:04,000
with a water-based paint,
we would be far from authentic (could say “we are downright off”)

24
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,000
whereas with our solvent-based paints

25
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600
we truly approach
the proper look of that era

26
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,389
a “flat” engine is technologically
simple

27
00:02:16,389 --> 00:02:19,700

we set up a workshop complete with
machine tools and with a person who

33
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:40,549
is a fitter ,miller , lathe
operator

34
00:02:40,549 --> 00:02:44,049
it enables us to assemble
engines today with a level of quality

35
00:02:44,049 --> 00:02:46,900
and reliability that is remarkable

Restoring Fuchs wheels

46
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,100
is also an important element
of our business

46+
for classic Porsches

at the Art Restoration facility

52
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,389
our company is not just our workers

53
00:03:50,389 --> 00:03:52,109
but our customers

54
00:03:52,109 --> 00:03:53,559
many customers become friends

55
00:03:53,559 --> 00:03:57,069
and for me, my passion for Porsche
is driving Porsches

56
00:03:57,069 --> 00:03:59,779
and the Porsche camaraderie,
when driving with others

57
00:03:59,779 --> 00:04:02,869
every Sunday morning , 8:30
we meet at our garage

58
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:04,100
we have coffee and

59
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:06,819
discussions ensue on the "flat" engines
and afterwards we drive

60
00:04:06,819 --> 00:04:08,100
we try to spend at least
two hours driving

61
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,100
it can be said that we have the most fun
driving a Porsche

62
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,900
while seeing one in front
and another behind

63
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:13,900
that is just great

This shop is not the largest, but certainely one of the cleanest...
Sonauto is no more the official importer for Porsche. They still own three Porsche centers.
