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 will always have a portfolio of restored Porsche 911s worth considerably more money than when they are in their original condition.

3. Some parts are difficult to find.

The interior for Porsche 911s is becoming scarce, and some exterior parts are few and far between. If you're restoring a Porsche 911, it would be best to check the availability of replacement parts before proceeding.

4. Assembling the right team is important.

Lastly, Eugene Bernshtam mentions that Porsche 911s are precision-engineered, requiring expertise to put back parts together properly. There are only few people who can do this work properly. It is important that the restoration shop has a good reputation, and they have restored many 911s before. There are plenty of Porsche restoration shops in the country, so check out their credentials first, including customer feedback and testimonials.
