Welcome to VINTAGE SPORTSCAR RESTORATIONS

[edmayo]

I started working out of my garage as a hobbiest many years ago. Later, I knocked out the rear wall of my garage and gave myself some more room and started doing side jobs on an occasional Porsche here and there. Eventually, I saw the need to have a shop so, I erected a steel structure on my property and enjoyed restoring cars from home. Now, the time has finally come to expand my business and take it to the next level. So, I guess your are right Ed...I have always had a shop. Here is a picture of my own 1978 SC that I restored right out of my garage...suspension, motor, interior and color change from Sepia Brown to Guards Red. I wish I had a picture of my very first Porsche that I finished when I was 17 years of age...it was a 1954 356 in Irish Green. During my high school years I was taking an auto restoration shop class, my high school counselor promised me more credits if I painted his 356. The car looked great from one mile distance but at 3 feet, it's was horrible...wow it's been a long time coming.

Welcome to the world of overhead and unseen expenses I wish you great success Freddie.

Freddie,
I'll always remember my '67S Light Ivory project from a few years back. It was a real '67S that had been poorly treated over the years and ended up with a non-Porsche metalic blue color...and lots more stuff wrong when I found it. I dissembled it. You stripped it to bare medal and did the body and paint work...back to it's original Light Ivory color. It turned out terrific and ended up as a cover car in several publications. Thanks for your work. I wish your the best of success.

Congratulations Freddy. Dreams are funny things, but you have to follow them.

[FHernand]

Rich, you have taken me back in time...your car was a fun project. I know you have sold this car however, I will always call it "your" car. Since then, there have been other 67 911S I have restored and they have been great to work on...love these cars.

Congrats Freddie!

Just found this thread. As you know...I've been dealing with a bad case of "Turbo Fever"" so I haven't been on ESR lately. Can't wait to check out the new shop.

Craig, any time buddy. Here are a few more shots of the 74 Carrera...these are my favorites. Porsche, tracks, railroads and trains go together pretty well. Perhaps my picture backdrops are getting a little old. Okay next Porsche photo shoot we are doing the streets of San Francisco with possible video...

Shop still coming together...
