Classic Car Bodywork in Manchester

Older cars need patience and metalwork, not a quick skim of filler. We have had Jaguars, classics and older sports cars through the booth, and we take the time they need.

Bring it to us when

  • Rust in the arches, sills or floors of an older car
  • Tired paint on a car you want to keep
  • A panel that no longer exists and has to be made
  • A bare metal respray in the original colour

What we do

  • Rust cut out and new metal shaped and welded in
  • Panels straightened and gapped properly before any paint
  • Prepped and painted in the booth, in the original colour or yours
  • Photos sent to you as the work goes along

Getting a price

Common questions

Classic car bodywork, answered

Do you do full restorations?
We do the bodywork and paint side of one. Send photos of the car and tell us what you want it to end up as, and we will tell you honestly what it would take.
How long does classic bodywork take?
Longer than a modern car. We would rather tell you weeks and be right than tell you days and be wrong. We will give you a plan when we see the car.
Can you match an old colour?
Yes. Original colours can be mixed from the code, and where there is no code we match from a clean, protected area of the car.
