Initial Assessment and Planning

The first step is always an initial assessment. This involves a thorough inspection of the car to determine its condition. The team carefully examines every aspect of the vehicle, from the bodywork and chassis to the engine, transmission, and interior. This assessment helps to identify the scope of the project, including the extent of the damage and the parts that need to be replaced or repaired. Planning is critical. Based on the assessment, OOŚCII creates a detailed restoration plan. This plan outlines the specific tasks, timelines, and budget for the project. The team considers the car's history, original specifications, and the owner's preferences during the planning phase. Research is also crucial. OOŚCII researches the car's history, including its original specifications, production details, and any previous modifications. This helps to ensure that the restoration is as authentic as possible. This phase also involves sourcing parts. OOŚCII identifies and sources the necessary parts for the restoration. This can involve finding original parts, using high-quality reproductions, or fabricating custom components. The team’s network of suppliers and their expertise in the industry are invaluable at this stage.

Disassembly and Component Evaluation

Once the plan is in place, the car undergoes a complete disassembly. Every component is carefully removed, labeled, and documented. This process is meticulous, as it’s essential to keep track of every part. Component evaluation is next. Each part is then evaluated to determine its condition. This may involve inspecting for wear and tear, damage, and rust. This also helps to determine whether it can be restored or needs to be replaced.

Bodywork and Paint

Bodywork and paint are two of the most visible parts of the restoration process. They dramatically impact the car's appearance. The bodywork stage involves repairing any rust, dents, or damage to the car's body. This requires specialized skills, including welding, panel beating, and metal fabrication. The team ensures that the body panels are aligned correctly and that all repairs meet original specifications. This is followed by preparing the body for paint. This involves stripping the old paint, sanding the surfaces, and applying primer. The goal is to create a smooth, even surface for the new paint. Painting is the next step. OOŚCII uses high-quality paint, matching the original color of the car whenever possible. This may involve researching the original paint codes and applying multiple coats to achieve a perfect finish.
