For this blog, Eugene Bernshtam gives everyone a quick review of the four types of car restoration based on the purpose of restoring.

Driving: Car restoration for driving purposes can be considered the most basic of restoration levels as it only seeks to make the car functional and operational. Parts are replaced to make the car road-worthy. A bit of a cosmetic upgrade is also performed.

Street show: Street show restoration takes driving restoration up another level. Aside from making the car road-worthy, sweeping changes are made to the appearance. On the 100-point universal system for restoring a classic car, street show cars have a rating of 80 points.

Show car: Above street show restoration, there’s show car restoration. This type of restoration fully brings a car back to how it used to be or at least extremely close to it, Eugene Bernshtam explains.

Concours restoration: For the serious car enthusiast, there’s the concours restoration. Concours restoration goes beyond bringing the car back to its former glory. Making the car road-worthy, beautiful, shiny, and adding heavy interior work are all included. Eugene Bernshtam explains that this type of restoration is always more expensive than the car itself.

Real estate developer Eugene Bernshtam is into car collection and restoration. He is among the Illinois Secretary of State's licensed auto dealers and currently holds membership in both the Ferrari Club of America (FCA) and the Lamborghini Club of America. More on Eugene’s work and interests here.

Important points when restoring a Porsche 911

Image
Image source: tuningblog.eu The Porsche 911 is one of the most revered sports cars and the most difficult cars to restore. In today's blog post, Eugene Bernshtam shares important tips for those looking to restore a Porsche 911. 1. You can't simply restore a Porsche 911. Many people believe that it is possible just to purchase any old 911, do some basic maintenance, and it will be good as new. Unfortunately, restoring a car like this requires professional restoration work. Costly mistakes are easy to make if you don't know what you're doing (such as removing the wrong part or inlet cam, which can damage valves). If you don't know what you're doing, it would probably be best to leave this car up to the professionals. 2. Porsche 911s are collectibles. Porsche 911s never lose their value. Collectors will always pay top dollar for vintage 911s. It is because of this; you could restore the car once and sell it afterward to depreciate its value. However, you

The curious role of minimalism in real estate development

Image
Eugene Bernshtam notes that with the new decade now underway, real estate developers have been looking at the more exciting trends in the industry. One of these trends that’s both exciting and mysterious and, quite simply practical, is minimalist design. > Minimalism isn’t just about art or design; it is rooted in philosophy. Today, more and more developers, designers, architects, and engineers are opting to use minimalist design, not just for the exteriors of homes, but also for the inside. Image source: Decoist.com Image source: Weandthecolor.com The simplicity of minimalist design has gained a lot of traction over the past two decades, with the less-is-more approach. Today, gaudy is losing the design battle, at least in more modern homes and offices. But how and why has minimalist design appealed today more than ever? First of all, minimalism inside a home may make it appear bigger. With less furniture and fixtures, the living room or dining room may l
