Sourcing & Restoration Standards
Every core in this listing is pulled from disassembled donor vehicles, hand-inspected for cracks, stripped, and checked to confirm it moves and mounts correctly before it's offered for sale — we do not sell parts we wouldn't install on our own cars. Because these are original German-built pieces rather than reproductions, expect the light surface texture and character of a genuine 50+ year old stamping, not the sterile finish of a modern casting.
