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

In this blog, he shares some useful tips for restoring cars the right way. 1. Factor in time When you are bent on restoring a classic car, you should stick to a timeline. Unless you have unlimited resources, this will slow down the entire process. The restoration process can be long and tedious. In order to avoid problems, you must ensure your time frame remains on track as much as possible. Some folks jump straight into a project without first establishing a timeline, only to find that they cannot keep up with it after a while, warns Eugene Bernshtam. 2. Join a club To know how to restore your classic car the right way, join a car club. You'll find that all of the necessary tools and the people to answer your questions are there.

Image source: express.co.uk According to car restorer and automobile enthusiast Eugene Bernshtam, in 1956, Mercedes-Benz found itself with a very interesting dilemma; it wanted to introduce a new model that would revolutionize the industry, but it also needed that car to be a smashing success for its name and good reputation to continue. The last thing anyone at Mercedes wanted was for its new line of cars – this one being an awesomely designed, powerfully engineered, and technologically advanced car – to be viewed as a failure. That year, Mercedes-Benz experimented with new ideas on the racetrack; it developed a high-performance version of its 300 SL that featured an innovative gullwing door design that opened vertically upwards. Image source: express.co.uk The public was enthralled with this new idea, as it helped to show how Mercedes-Benz was a daring and innovative company that never settled for average. The company wanted its cars to be unique and spectacular in all areas.

Image source: investopedia.com Not doing enough research Before you jump in on a real estate opportunity, you need to know absolutely everything that could impact your ownership of the property. Unfortunately, many property owners have experienced finding out too late about circumstances surrounding their newly bought property.

When he is not too preoccupied with his business, Eugene Bernshtam makes it a point to maintain his car collection. He is also an expert in car restoration, and in this blog, he wishes to give some advice on how to give cars a lasting paint job. Image source: goldeagle.com Don’t skip on the bodywork. When you get a project car that you intend to restore, you need to know all the issues on its exterior shell. Often, when you acquire your unit, issues on the body are covered up by its existing paint. There are even some cars out there which have ridiculously rusted out panels, that have been covered with fiberglass, just to achieve an intact look. Eugene Bernshtam emphasizes that if you want to repaint it properly, you should not skip on the bodywork. Image source: pinterest.com Use sandblasting and rustproofing.

Any person who is picking out their first apartment maintains a certain level of excitement and nervousness at the same time. An apartment can mean many things to an individual. It can be a sign of maturity, freedom, independence, and adulthood, making it imperative for them to choose what is best for their situation. Image source: academichelp.net One of the reasons people move to a new home is to be near to their workplace. Always consider the commute . If leaving and coming home to an apartment requires one to sit in traffic for more than an hour, it will never be a reasonable pick. According to Eugene Bernshtam, one needs to test out the commute before signing any rental agreement. When an apartment is on the meager side, be sure to ask about utilities . There could be hidden or undisclosed utility charges that can cause monthly fees to balloon. Assess working heat and air . Often, old apartments suffer from thermostat problems. Get acquainted with the landlord . Things

Restoring a classic car is a tough job even for someone who does it full-time. The average restoration project could take several weeks for an entire team to finish. And for an individual, it could take months, or even years, according to avid classic car fan Eugene Bernshtam. However, not all projects see the light of a showroom or hit the road. More often than not, restoration projects get cancelled, or are sold to more capable restorers. In the end, accepting a project you cannot finish will simply cost you thousands of dollars and your precious time. Here are some reasons when to say no to a car restoration project. Image source: hotcars.com Too expensive to restore If a classic car is too expensive to restore, pick another model or turn down the job. If all you have is a rusted-out body of a 1965 Ford Mustang with virtually nothing useful inside, then it would take quite a bit of coin to restore just the body, let alone everything. And once you have finished the restorati

Except on occasions, it's hard to imagine a classic car daily driven in its original condition. Eugene Bernshtam, if not busy in real estate, restores classic models that are suited to today's road standards. Aside from the reinvented look, a restored classic has all the same comforts as today's newer models. Here are some of the few modern upgrades that a classic car needs to have before heading out on the highway.

Electronic ignition improves fuel efficiency, gives faster and smoother acceleration, reduces exhaust emissions, and more. Power steering upgrade - Driving a classic car without power steering can ultimately wear you down, especially when driving along with tight and crowded places or simply making a U-turn. Power steering helps you to drive smoothly and safely, explains Eugene Bernshtam. Dis

Most people think of Dubai as the entire UAE (United Arab Emirates), but the UAE is composed of 7 emirates, and Dubai is just one of them. The UAE has a capital city named Abu Dhabi which is rarely talked about, but is quietly making raves in real estate & tourism - the same things that transformed Dubai into a modern oasis.
