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 ?

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 |
