This is the workshop where I have my 914 maintained. I was asked to make a short film to show the new facility.
It's the first time I filmed using a DSLR. I wanted to have a retro "filmic" look.
Can someone give me a hand to polish the english subtitles ? (text file attached)
If you want to read the subtitles while watching the movie you must click on the related button in the menu bar under the video.

nice work! I didn't have time to read the sub titles. to many good things to look at.
Cool video. Beautiful shop.
Cool! I like the DSLR.
Yes a beautiful video!!! Thanks for sharing!
damn Johannes, you always put together great videos
Nice video!! I don't speak French, but the subtitles looked good to me.
The video is great! Very clean shop. Its odd to see someone welding on the floor pan while standing up...
That is a nice video!
I love the rotisserie.
For me that rotisserie was the coolest part of the video!

Great Film!
Can you list the equipment you used for your production?
great video
Here's my take on the captions. My french is a bit crap, but I think I fixed it some. I hope it helps.
Great film!
Thx Johannes. Another great video. Porsche Porn .And a pitch for your product if I may. The T-Shirts that I bought from you 2+ years ago are holding up very well. And IIRC, these were not your finest, either. If you have a Dawn Patrol T- Shirt, it came from Johannes. Good quality stuff!
Well done ! Love the rotisserie
I also worked on it a bit...
1
00:00:33,330 --> 00:00:37,950
Art restoration was not an idea I had all of a sudden,
2
00:00:37,950 --> 00:00:40,890
but rather, from
an idea to be independent,
3
00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:44,490
professionally speaking, by
living my passion by being autonomous,
4
00:00:44,490 --> 00:00:49,010
independent and
working on Porsches.
5
00:00:49,010 --> 00:00:52,840
today Art Restoration
has 10 employees.
6
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,340
a 13,000 square foot workshop
7
00:00:55,340 --> 00:01:00,010
our clients entrust us with their cars
for various work
8
00:01:00,010 --> 00:01:04,640
from simple maintenance to
complete restoration
9
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,880
we will work hard to satisfy your needs
10
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,140
giving great importance to supervising the
work on your car
11
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:17,140
budgeting the work at our various service and
repair stations
12
00:01:20,350 --> 00:01:25,000
bodywork is at the heart of our restoration
craft
13
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:28,790
I am fortunate to have hired
on my team
14
00:01:28,790 --> 00:01:31,650
people who are as
demanding as me
15
00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:34,540
we are now outfitted with the
equipment
16
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:41,540
for fully reconstructing
a car as necessary
17
00:01:42,430 --> 00:01:46,300
classic 911’s were painted
with solvent-based paints
18
00:01:47,010 --> 00:01:49,900
we are a rare and unique
garage in Alsace
19
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,340
equipped with solvent-based paints
20
00:01:53,340 --> 00:01:55,880
water-based paints never manage to
match the original appearance
21
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,960
the same color, the same depth
22
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,049
and when we talk about metallic colors
as they were done at the time…
23
00:02:02,049 --> 00:02:04,000
with a water-based paint,
we would be far from authentic (could say “we are downright off”)
24
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,000
whereas with our solvent-based paints
25
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600
we truly approach
the proper look of that era
26
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,389
a “flat” engine is technologically
simple
27
00:02:16,389 --> 00:02:19,700
but the implementation is complicated,
it always leaks, oozes
28
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:23,359
rebuilding an engine is not only
disassemble, clean , reassemble
29
00:02:23,359 --> 00:02:25,939
but there are a lot of checks, (could say “but there are a lot of inspections)
30
00:02:25,939 --> 00:02:29,900
adjustments to be made
to rebuild a reliable engine
31
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:34,129
which runs smoothly and does not leak
32
00:02:34,129 --> 00:02:37,959
we set up a workshop complete with
machine tools and with a person who
33
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:40,549
is a fitter ,miller , lathe
operator
34
00:02:40,549 --> 00:02:44,049
it enables us to assemble
engines today with a level of quality
35
00:02:44,049 --> 00:02:46,900
and reliability that is remarkable
36
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:53,879
our general philosophy
above all is customer satisfaction
37
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,500
that means, cars that are sold
38
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:59,899
with the greatest
possible transparency
39
00:02:59,899 --> 00:03:01,700
the customer who buys a car
from us will know
40
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:03,429
its strengths and
weaknesses
41
00:03:03,429 --> 00:03:07,589
when someone comes for maintenance
we will give him advice
42
00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:09,769
and above all, we will solve
the problems he has
43
00:03:09,769 --> 00:03:12,600
we pride ourselves on not letting
a car leave
44
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,000
until all problems are resolved
until the car is just right
45
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Restoring Fuchs wheels
46
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,100
is also an important element
of our business
46+
for classic Porsches
47
00:03:25,489 --> 00:03:29,239
three years ago, I met a unique German
who still had the know-how
48
00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:32,009
to restore Fuchs wheels
as they were done originally
49
00:03:32,009 --> 00:03:34,709
he retired and I took over
his business
50
00:03:34,709 --> 00:03:37,100
and now we restore
Fuchs rims
51
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:44,879
at the Art Restoration facility
52
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,389
our company is not just our workers
53
00:03:50,389 --> 00:03:52,109
but our customers
54
00:03:52,109 --> 00:03:53,559
many customers become friends
55
00:03:53,559 --> 00:03:57,069
and for me, my passion for Porsche
is driving Porsches
56
00:03:57,069 --> 00:03:59,779
and the Porsche camaraderie,
when driving with others
57
00:03:59,779 --> 00:04:02,869
every Sunday morning , 8:30
we meet at our garage
58
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:04,100
we have coffee and
59
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:06,819
discussions ensue on the "flat" engines
and afterwards we drive
60
00:04:06,819 --> 00:04:08,100
we try to spend at least
two hours driving
61
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,100
it can be said that we have the most fun
driving a Porsche
62
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,900
while seeing one in front
and another behind
63
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:13,900
that is just great
Paul
What a great video. But further, what a great way of life. I'd love to spend my days working on classic Porsche cars in a beautiful shop in such a gorgeous land.
I finely got a chance to watch this. I liked the way you chanced the focus on the rods. Great work
Very nice production
That rotisserie is sick!
Johannes, thank you for sharing this cool video !
The restoration shop c'est tres bon ¡ must be one of the biggest of its kind in France.
Is the dealership Sonauto still going?
Marty
Très belle vidéo Johannes!
Superbe atelier et quelle belle façon de vivre sa passion!
J'espère avoir l'occasion de visiter un jour et je vais faire suivre le lien à mes amis Français.
