Restorations

The 10 Stages of Classic Car Restoration

Classic Car Restoration is not an easy process, it consists of several work stages. It doesn’t just take skills to bring a car project to a better condition, it also takes patience, passion and knowledge. Under the roof of The Hermiston Group, anything can be done from minor repairs to extreme restorations.

1

DISMANTLING

Our first step is disassembling the vehicle with every little detail being carefully documented. During this stage, we make sure any part of the body is removed like the chassic and electrical wirings. We also remove glass, wooden parts and mechanically remove the paint to achieve bare metal ready for bodywork.

2

ADVANCED BODYWORK

Our company uses high quality metal body panels. They are a structural and integral parts that are modified and crafted to fit perfectly on your classic car. Removing and replacing them require excellent skills, so your car will keep his originality.

PAINT JOB

As a company with years of experience, we put a lot of time and effort into the preparation of the car. Achieving the highest standards, forces us to be very detailed and carefull with preparation for the best possible outcome. For the best quality outcome, we use products from NOVOL for Classic Cars.

ENGiNE AND GEARBOX OVERHAULT

We will assess the condition of the engine and gearbox, and see if any parts need to be regenerated or replaced with new ones. We will list everything down to make sure that every detail is in the record.

We want to make sure that everything is running smoothly and that your engine will provide you with many years of use.
