Our Process | From Start to Finish

Discover how AMPIA transforms vintage Alfa Romeos into handcrafted modern legends.

What began as a passion for preserving Italian heritage became a proven build philosophy. A system that turns forgotten machines into modern statements of engineering and soul.

Building an Ampia

A great build isn't a rush, it's a rhythm.

01

1. Define the Vision

Every Ampia build begins with stories. Yours, and the car’s.

Do you have a donor vehicle, or do we need to source one?
Are you chasing purity, performance...or a modern reinterpretation?
‍
This is where we set intent, aesthetics, purpose, and personality.

02

2. Specification & Character Development

Template platform goes live. Evermind becomes known as the consultancy that designs both buildings and systems with equal clarity.

03

3. Design & Engineering Blueprint

Wide-body geometry, powertrain path, carbon vs. steel, chassis reinforcement, aero cues, interior CNC layouts, wheel offset — every decision is deliberate.

We model, review, revise, and lock the build formula so fabrication has a map.

04

4. Disassembly, Assessment & Metal Preparation

The GTV is stripped to its bones.
Rust, age, hidden fractures and weak points are exposed, corrected, and strengthened.

This phase is respect for the original engineering — before we improve it.

05

5. Fabrication, Fitment & Sculpting

This is where Ampia becomes Ampia.

✔ hand-shaped panels
✔ welded reinforcements
✔ widened body
✔ carbon integration
✔ re-engineered suspension
✔ engine upgrades
✔ chassis strengthening

Every line, gap, and arch is trial-fit and reworked until it hits that uncanny, factory-but-better look.

06

6. Systems, Assembly & Modernization

Interior electrical systems, hidden kill switch, trickle charger access, programmable LED signature lights, digital instrumentation, CNC dash inlay, suspension hardware, steering feel, braking dynamics — everything is rebuilt to feel old-school soul, modern control.

If the original engineers could build it today, this is how it would feel.

07

7. Calibration, Paint & Fine Detail

Panels are aligned.
Systems speak to each other.
Suspension is dialed.
Road noise, vibration, and feedback are tuned intentionally.

Paint isn’t colour — it’s the car’s identity.
From under-hood lighting to wood trim finish, we refine until it communicates Ampia’s signature.

08

8. Test, Hand-Off & Story Delivery

We pressure test the car — performance, drivability, stance, temperature stability, idle character, sound.
Only when it feels cohesive — like it was always meant to exist — do we hand it over.

You don’t receive a key.
You receive a continuation of an Italian legacy — now carrying your chapter.
