RESTORATION Works





Hours and sometimes years of hard work and dedication is needed along the way, but so is ingenuity and creativity to bring back to life parts that are no longer available. Technology and methods of manufacture from over 70 years ago are not of the same standard as they are in car production today - a real challenge at times.
