Retrospect Restorations' focus is on functionality.  To make something again fit for purpose.  New projects are accepted on a case by case basis.  If you have a project, let's talk about it.

Here are samples of both current and recent past projects:
Astoria Espresso Machine

In Progress (90% Complete)

This machine was purchased sight unseen by the customer at an auction.  It lived for over a decade down in Denver at a fried chicken restaurant.  The entire thing, and every part inside, was coated in a thick layer of frying grease.  Underneath that grease was a gorgeous 1995 Italian espresso machine with beautiful copper accents.  It's a quality machine.  It was necessary to do a complete tear down and deep clean and restore each component before beginning reassembly.
1981 Subaru GL 4x4 Wagon

In Progress (75% Complete)

The early Subaru 4x4s were unique, rugged little trail buggies.  With low range four wheel drive and adjustable suspension you can raise and lower, these are capable cars that are becoming very rare.

This wagon has relatively low miles but was a mess mechanically and leaked from everywhere.  It's been through a complete disassembly and mechanical restoration.  The interior was also completely stripped and restored.  What's left is repairing some minor body damage and rust.

 
1967 GMC P3500 Food Truck

Complete

This project is the current mobile home of Sunny Sky Pies here in Fort Collins.

This former bakery delivery truck once belonged to Sweetheart Bakery Products of Sheridan, Wyoming.  It came to us in very, very rough, original condition.  It ran, but every single component required attention.  It was a complete restoration.  Afterward began its conversion to a licensed food truck with window and counter, lighting, water system, refrigeration, shelving, and awning.  Find it around town!
