]]> SoCal 356 Club Concours 2019 https://parasautos.com/socal-356-club-concours-2019/ Sat, 28 Dec 2019 00:10:12 +0000 https://new.parasautos.com/?p=4987

Great day at the SoCal 356 Club Concours in San Clemente. We showed an early 1954 couple one family owner car that we restored. We completely disassembled the car and rebuilt it from the ground up. The car underwent a four year restoration process and is probably one of the nicest 54 coupes ever restored. We had technical assistance from Tom Birch who is a leading authority on pre-A Porsche cars.

The car is painted radium green metallic (color code 510) with green leather interior, forest green dash and door tops. You can check out photos of the restoration process in the photo gallery.

]]> 1965 Porsche 356 Outlaw https://parasautos.com/1965-porsche-356-outlaw/ Thu, 26 Dec 2019 21:41:48 +0000 https://new.parasautos.com/?p=5090 Most of the projects we do here at Paras Autos involve restoring the car to its original factory condition but we also do outlaws. We are currently working on a 1965 that has some interesting modifications. The car is powered by a 914 motor mated to an early 911 5 speed trans. The suspension was made with 911 steel trailing arms. The car has a Carrera rear valance and GT bumper molding. It’s an inexpensive outlaw but it will be good for a daily driver.

]]> Porsche Metal Work https://parasautos.com/porsche-metal-work/ Mon, 23 Dec 2019 01:41:00 +0000 https://new.parasautos.com/?p=5140 When we do metal work on Porsche 356 cars we duplicate the factory welds weather its butt welded with gas or spot welded the same way that Porsche did. Porsche had their own technique in spot welding and it changed over the years from the earliest 356 cars to the last generation of the “C” cars. The earliest cars Porsche actually did a lot of gas welding. Even panels that were later spot welded, the 51, 52 cars, they actually gas welded a lot of the panels and spot welded them on top and we duplicate that as well. Porsche got away from a lot of gas welding as the cars production increased and we duplicate their welds as well with our spot welders, we don’t fake them out.

When we metal finish a car we lead the body same way the Porsche factory did. We lead the noses, the door gaps, the deck lid gaps and we prep the metal with a phosphate coating to prevent it from rusting. Then we photograph the car. We like to give the car credibility that way. Before we paint we like to show what the car really looked like. Once it’s painted it’s hard to show that. The photographic record showcases the craftsmanship that goes into each car and that goes a long way toward the value of the car and the saleability . It gives the car history and credibility as opposed to the average car where you don’t know what you’re getting.
