At Legacy Overland, we embark on a captivating journey as we breathe new life into a timeless classic – our meticulously restored 1987 Porsche 911. This iconic vehicle, once a symbol of speed and elegance, has undergone a comprehensive transformation, surpassing ordinary restoration standards. Join us as we delve into the intricate details of this restoration, where every aspect has been carefully considered to bring the Porsche 911 back to its glory days.

Engine Revitalization: Power at Its Core

The heart of our restoration lies in a full mechanical test and diagnostics, leading to the disassembly and removal of the engine and gearbox. Precision is key as we conduct compression testing and diagnostics, paving the way for a full engine rebuild to standard performance specifications. From machined surfaces to polished pistons, new rings, crank, and main bearings – every component is meticulously attended to. We've ensured optimal performance with adjustments, valve guides, and seals, along with the installation of new gaskets and seals. The engine mounts are upgraded with a new motor mount kit, and a new Bosch ignition coil, sensors, spark plugs, filters, leads, and distributor are seamlessly integrated.

Drivetrain Excellence: From Clutch to Wheels

A seamless driving experience is crafted through the disassembly and rebuild of the transmission, accompanied by the installation of a new clutch and flywheel. The journey continues with the integration of a new fuel pump, motor starter, and Bilstein shock absorbers. Wheel bearings are replaced, brakes are rebuilt, and steering is meticulously restored, including new tie rod ends. The restoration extends to the exhaust system, heat exchangers, and four Fuchs wheels, beautifully restored and painted.

Aesthetic Elegance: Inside Out

Our commitment to perfection transcends beyond the mechanical realm. The exterior undergoes a full body repaint, encompassing both the interior and exterior. The underbody receives a fresh coat, complemented by new front and rear bumpers, frame padding, rear overriders, lamp covers, mudguards, and windshield. The vehicle exudes a renewed charm with replaced external plastic trim bits and badges.

Interior Reimagined: Comfort Redefined

Step into the meticulously reassembled interior, where every element tells a story of craftsmanship. Gauges are disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt, with the odometer reset to zero at the customer's request. A new dashboard seamlessly matches the refreshed interior, accompanied by new carpeting, sound insulation padding, rear view mirror, temperature gauge, and power rear view mirrors.
