Our Signature Restoration Process
At Finch Restorations, we specialise in full-scale, body-off restorations that are designed for longevity and unmatched detail. Our meticulous process includes several key steps that ensure every aspect of your classic car is addressed:
Complete Disassembly: We begin with a thorough disassembly of the vehicle, carefully documenting every component to ensure that nothing is overlooked during the restoration. This step is crucial for understanding the vehicle's condition and planning the restoration process effectively.
Chassis and Body Dipping: To remove rust and old coatings, we employ sandblasting techniques that prepare the chassis and body for the next stages of restoration. This process not only cleans the surfaces but also reveals any hidden issues that may need to be addressed.
Precision Panel Restoration: Our skilled craftsmen either restore existing panels or fabricate missing sections with precision, ensuring that every part of the vehicle meets our high standards. We take pride in our attention to detail, ensuring that the panels fit perfectly and maintain the vehicle's original lines.
Mechanical Refurbishments: We conduct comprehensive mechanical refurbishments, including upgrades to the suspension, drivetrain, and electrical systems, ensuring that your classic car performs as beautifully as it looks. Our team is dedicated to enhancing the driving experience while maintaining the vehicle's classic charm.
Interior Refinishing: From period-correct upholstery to custom enhancements, we pay close attention to every detail of the interior, creating a space that is both comfortable and visually stunning. We understand that the interior is just as important as the exterior, and we strive to create an inviting atmosphere that reflects your personal style.
Flawless Paintwork: Our paintwork is applied using top-tier materials and techniques, resulting in a finish that not only looks incredible but also stands the test of time. We offer a variety of finishes, from high-gloss to matte, ensuring that your classic car looks its best.
Customisation & Resto-Mod Services
In addition to our traditional restoration services, we also offer a range of custom upgrades designed to enhance safety, comfort, and drivability. These include:
Engine Rebuilds or Modern Powertrain Conversions: We provide options for engine rebuilds or modern powertrain conversions that deliver improved performance and reliability. Our team can help you choose the best option for your driving style and preferences.

Air-Conditioning and Entertainment System Installations: To ensure a comfortable driving experience, we can install air-conditioning and modern entertainment systems that keep you cool and entertained on long drives.
