WCR Founder Bio: Hey friends! My name is David, owner and founder of Water-Cooled Restoration and lifelong automotive and Porsche enthusiast. I’m an automotive engineer by trade, having spent nearly a decade doing internal combustion engine development for an industry leading-OEM.
Despite my demanding schedule as an engineer, I was still a mechanic at heart after spending a lot of time turning wrenches for an auto shop in my younger years, which grew into spending much of my time performing mechanical restorations on my own and other peoples’ Porsches of various vintages and models.
This passion of mechanically restoring Porsches eventually grew into Water-Cooled Restoration!
