FAQ: Can you restore vehicles with extensive rust or structural damage?

Yes, we can restore vehicles with significant rust or structural damage; however, the extent of the deterioration plays a crucial role in determining feasibility, cost, and the best approach to restoration.

When rust has affected non-structural areas, such as body panels, we can fabricate or replace the necessary sections to return the vehicle to its original condition. However, if corrosion has compromised critical structural elements—such as the chassis, subframes, or suspension mounting points—then extensive metalwork and reinforcement may be required to ensure the vehicle remains safe and roadworthy.

In cases where the damage is exceptionally severe, it may be more practical to source a donor vehicle or replacement sections to facilitate the restoration. We assess each project individually, using a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques such as 3D scanning, CAD modelling, and precision fabrication to reconstruct missing or damaged sections as faithfully as possible.

Restoring a vehicle with major rust or structural damage is an investment in time and expertise, and we work closely with our clients to outline the best course of action based on their goals, budget, and the vehicle's historical significance. If you have a vehicle in need of restoration, contact us to discuss how we can bring it back to life.
