A 911, properly.

Air-cooled 911 and 356 specialist. Engine workshop, owner-specified builds, and technical consultation — with performance upgrades for new Porsche models.

What we believe

Three things hold a Porsche together. We hold them too.

Every Porsche tells the truth.

The way an engine sounds, the way a panel sits, the way a clutch bites — they don't lie. Our job is to listen first, work second.

Small jobs deserve great hands.

A head rebuild matters as much as a full restoration. Both pass through the same standard.

The owner finishes the car.

A Porsche becomes itself in the hands of the person who drives it. We build with that person in mind.

Workshop builds

Builds

Our concept. Your specification. Your car.

Two paths — return the car to its original specification, or write a new one for it. Same standard, same workshop, same hands.

Every build starts with a specification document and a measurement plan. If the brief is restoration, the specification is the factory original — work proceeds against documented factory measurements, with photographic and dimensional evidence of every part removed and every part replaced. If the brief is a new specification — different engine, different gearing, different geometry, different interior — the specification is written before any tool touches the car, with target dimensions, parts list, and timeline agreed in writing. Air-cooled is the discipline — 356, F-series, G-series, 964, and 993. Performance upgrades extend to new Porsche models. Restoration is engineering against the past. A new specification is engineering against an idea. We do both.

Original-specification build.

Factory measurements, factory tolerances, factory finish. Disassembly photographed and catalogued. Sourced parts verified against original drawings. The car as it was intended.

Owner-specification build.

Specification document signed before disassembly. Engine, gearbox, suspension geometry, interior, finish — each line item with target dimensions and parts sourced or fabricated to match. The car as the owner intends it.

One-off cars

Two cars drawn from our own ideas, each made to its owner's specification. The first — the Featherweight 4.0 RSR — takes an air-cooled 964 or 993 and reworks it to full RSR specification. The second goes back to the earliest, narrowest 911: an F-series that keeps its classic lines but hides a higher-revving, motorsport-bred flat-six that climbs toward 11,000 rpm. Made to order. Yours alone.

Engine workshop

Engine Workshop

From a single head to a complete engine, built to measurement.

Air-cooled discipline — 356, F-series, G-series, 964, 993. Performance upgrades for new Porsche models. Refresh, rebuild, performance — decided by measurement, not by sound or sight.

Refresh & Rebuild

Disassembly, inspection, and measurement before any decision is made. Each component logged against factory tolerance — bore, stroke, end-float, clearance, valve seat depth, valve guide wear, spring pressure, cam timing. Reused, machined to specification, or replaced — decided on data. The rebuild closes with a written report: starting condition, work performed, measurements at each stage, parts replaced with part numbers and supplier traceability. Measured. Rebuilt. Documented.

Performance

Performance builds start with target output, target torque curve, and target reliability hours — not a horsepower number from a magazine. From those targets the build works backwards: displacement, compression, cam profile, induction, exhaust, ignition mapping, fuelling. Each component selected for the duty cycle the owner intends — road, track, or mixed. Dyno-tested before delivery. Dyno chart and driveability notes delivered with the engine. We build engines to be driven.

The story

Mariss Mežgals — twenty years of work, one stubborn 964, and the workshop that came out of it.

My father was an engineer. He gave me the foundation in mechanics; the attitude I taught myself.

My first real fix was a Suzuki Samurai. The first Fast & Furious had just hit cinemas, and people gathered for our town's first drag race. I lined up against a row of Honda Accords. The Suzuki jumped ahead — and that was it. Broken clutch. I told my grandfather we'd tried to drive up a steep hill, then I rebuilt it myself.

Cars and bikes have been part of my life ever since. Audi S4 and RS4 projects. VW builds. KTM bikes. Welding, repairing, my first engine rebuilds — until I could finally afford the Porsche I'd been working toward: a 964 C4. I still own it.

Twenty years of work has taught me three things: quality is non-negotiable, finishing a difficult project requires holding the line, and the most rewarding part of this craft is helping someone take a step into the unknown. Those are the values OdaFab is built on.

Consultation work

Consultation

Pre-purchase and pre-sale technical evaluation.

Four-axis vehicle inspection plus market valuation. Written PDF report delivered within five working days. Before you buy, before you sell, before you commit.

Every Porsche tells the truth — but not always to the buyer. On-site or shipping-in evaluations across Europe — at auctions, at dealers, in private sales. Each car evaluated against four technical axes and one market axis, with documented findings. Used by private buyers, brokers, and dealers to verify pre-purchase condition and to support pre-sale pricing.

Suspension & geometry.

Vehicle loaded on the alignment rig. Front and rear toe, camber, caster, ride height measured against factory specification. Bushing, ball-joint, and damper condition graded. Geometry report attached to the final PDF.

Engine condition test.

Cold and warm compression, leakdown across all cylinders, fuel pressure at idle and at load, exhaust-gas analysis (CO, HC, lambda, AFR), oil pressure cold and warm. Trend against factory specification for the engine code.

Body, paint & chassis.

Panel-gap measurements, paint thickness gauge readings panel-by-panel, weld witness check at structural seams, accident-repair indicators documented, corrosion mapped photographically. Frame straightness verified if any indicator is present.

Market valuation.

Comparable transactions pulled from the last 24 months across European auctions and broker channels. Specification-adjusted price band reported, with the comparable set listed in the appendix.

Every evaluation closes with a written PDF report — data captured, findings against specification, valuation band, and the questions we would put to the seller before the deal closes. Delivered within five working days of inspection. The buyer knows what they are buying. The seller knows what they are selling.

Sales

Sale by consignment, auction, or direct.

Documented sale process for owners and collectors. Three paths, one evidence standard. Selling a Porsche well is the same problem as buying one well, only from the other side.

Selling a Porsche well requires the same evidence base as buying one. We document the car (technical condition, history file, provenance, ownership trail), price it against the comparable transaction set, and route the sale through the channel that fits the car and the timeline — private treaty, auction, or direct from our own inventory. We work for both individual owners selling one car and collectors moving collections.

Consignment sale.

Owner retains the car until sale completes. Full photo and documentation package produced. Buyer enquiries qualified, technical questions answered, negotiation handled. Fee structure agreed in writing before listing.

Auction representation.

Auction house selected against the car and the target price band. Documentation prepared to the auction's published standard. Reserve set against the comparable set. Lot managed end-to-end, including post-auction settlement.

Direct sale.

Cars currently in our inventory — sourced, inspected, photographed, documented. Each car listed with its full inspection report and history file. Inventory updated as cars arrive and leave.
