RESTORATION
Back to the past…
Reunion started out working on Vintage Cars. We specialized on Air Cooled Porsches, Earlier Mercedes and VWs. Occasionally you’d see a Ferrari or Toyota FJ at the shop. We were a private shop that local mechanics, dealers and hobbyists took their cars to get repaired; specializing in rust repair, metal work, backdating, fabrication and painting.
We currently have 2 Celette benches at the shop and a variety of jigs for different cars including a type 7 bench that is specific for early cars.
Unfortunately, we do not do complete restorations. The term “restoration” in the vintage car world has taken on a definition of its own. For some, a restoration is simply painting a car and replacing items as needed, while for others, restoration can mean an extensive disassembly and overhaul, with each piece getting rebuilt or replaced.
We do work on Vintage Cars solely metal and body work. We will not be doing any finishing work. Usually a car will come stripped or we can strip it. We’ll do the metal work, refinish and paint. The finish work (putting the rest of the car back together) will have to be completed offsite. Due to our limited space, this is the only way we can continue working on these older cars. Please contact us about your project as we realize all projects are different.

PROJECTS
Some cars you might see at the shop.
This 1972 Porsche started out as an original low mileage car. Previous owner had it since the early 90’s and started to transform it as he is a well-known Porsche specialist that previously crewed with the famous Alex Job Racing.
Car was widened with SC Flares so that a set of 15x7/8 Refinished RSR style Fuchs could fit underneath. Car is all metal with a factory S spoiler. H1 Headlights with a set of original Marchal Rallye Hood Lights mounted. Euro Amber Lenses.
Engine is a 3.3 930 Non-Intercooled Engine that produces roughly 320HP. The car also has a full suspension package and a bunch of additional upgrades to it.
Soon the car will be refitted with a pair of correct ST flares, new interior and possibly a color change…
This RSR is the shop’s car. Starting with a 1984 911 with 930 Flares, this car has been sitting for years without its original motor. Originally the plan was to return the car back to stock but thought it’d be fun to backdate it to an RSR looking 911. We stripped the car down to bare metal and did metal fabrication to install the RSR bodywork. Painted in Signal Orange, the car has a center fill gas tank and currently sitting on 15x9/11 Braid Wheels and Michelin Tires. An upgraded 3.2 Motor has been fitted to this car. Car is constantly getting changes and upgrades to it.In the near future, this car will get a completely new interior.
