Each vehicle that receives the EuroCar treatment has a number of brand new parts, often special ordered from across the globe. The engine, suspension and transmission are completely rebuilt, and the suspension is reworked. The car itself goes through a seven step process, during which every piece is inspected and replaced if necessary. The car is expertly finished on the interior and custom painted, sealed for rust proofing, and neatly detailed to like new condition. Also important is the durability of the restored vehicle – many of them have survived a lifetime already, and the work put in at EuroCar ensures that they will survive several more. For EuroCar Imports and its employees, the restoration process is much more than a job; it’s the task of preserving a piece of history.
