Some cars are like domestic pets. After the acquisition, the owners grow so attached to them, that they never want to part with them. For this reason, some cars forever remain as a family member. The family heads always protect them, timely take care for them and, in the end, these cars become rare findings for collectors and classic car fans. In the past, this alignment of events would be easy to imagine and realize, but, as we know, marketing has gradually become the driving force of progress, including automotive industry. New models are released with unbelievable frequency, but unfortunately with decreasing percentage of durability. Accordingly, the owners of the cars produced in 21st century are unlikely to keep their cars in excellent condition after years of use. Against the background of this seemingly undeniable truth, the following story seems fantastic: In September 2015, a family of architects from Yerevan came to our workshop. The originality of the order was the fact that the subject of the discussion was an ordinary BMW 3-series with the body index E36, which was supposed to be completely dismantled and repaired with restoration meticulousness. The restoration garage “Hot Road Armenia” gladly accepted this extraordinary challenge.
