The Process of Classic Car Restoration

When a car arrives at our workshops for its restoration work, it is completely stripped down to reveal all the problems that have to be dealt with.

Each part is systematically cleaned, repaired, and painted with primer.

New body panels are fitted where necessary. All chassis sections are checked for corrosion and new steel sections are welded into place where required.

Axles, steering gear and suspension components are removed and repainted along with any chassis sections or sub frames that need to be removed.

When the body shell, floor pans, door sills and inner panels are in place, the primer coats are applied, before colour paint coats are added inside and out.

The car is then re-assembled into a rolling chassis / shell and moved into the paint shop for the final painting process.

All removable panels such as doors, bonnet, boot lid, etc. are painted separately before being fitted to the body shell.
