Level II restorations are for those who want to preserve a vehicle for posterity, giving it a new lease on life with modern, durable primers and paints that will ensure the chassis and body will last for decades to come. Your car is brought back as close as possible to original manufacturer’s specifications.

The body of your vintage car is removed from the chassis and both are grit-blasted. They are then inspected for cracks, broken welds and rust problems which can have a detrimental effect on vehicle longevity, handling and safety if not found and repaired. The principle is similar for a monocoque car body, where the body is stripped and blasted before inspection.

The chassis and each panel of your classic car is then either repaired or replaced. The body and chassis are then rotisserie painted.

The exposed chassis provides the opportunity to easily install new or refurbished brake, fuel and exhaust lines for increased safety and reliability, and to clearly see if any bolts, nuts or clips need replacement. 

All mechanical aspects of your classic car are replaced or refurbished. The electrical system and wiring looms may optionally be replaced new for old.

Your classic car’s interior door panels and hood lining will be relined (or retained for the old patina at customer request), old worn out door window/weather seals are replaced or rejuvenated, seats upholstered, the dashboard and instrumentation refurbished, and more.

The end result is an investment to be handed from generation to generation.

Level II Classic Car Restorations are perfect for:

• Preserving family heirloom vehicles.
• Museum pieces.
• Promoting a business.
• Entering car shows.
• Drawing crowds.

Level II body-off/complete restorations are more expensive as they take much more time, effort and space to achieve. Although it is easier to restore a chassis and body separately, body-off restorations usually require a few extra months to complete compared to body-on restorations for the simple reason that there’s so much more time-consuming work to be done.

Optionally, a new or refurbished diesel or petrol engine, disk brakes and modern dual circuit brake systems can be installed to improve your classic car towards modern performance standards. You can also have the options of including air-conditioning, heating, stereo, electric wipers, seat belts, and more.
