Classic car being restored at Chandler Panelbeaters

Classic Restoration

Vintage and classic vehicles deserve careful hands. We bring old cars back to life — panel work, refinishing, and the patience these machines require.

Restoration Panel & Paint

Classic cars need a different approach. The panels are often hand-formed, the paint finishes are period-specific, and sourcing parts takes time and knowledge. We handle the panel and paint side of restoration projects — from rust repair and panel fabrication through to full-body resprays in original or custom colours.

Whether you're restoring a Holden, a Ford, a Japanese classic, or a European marque, we take the time to get it right. These cars aren't getting any younger, and the work needs to last.

What We Work On

We're not picky about the marque. If it's got history and it needs panel or paint work, we're interested. The condition doesn't matter either — whether it's a driver-grade car that needs tidying up or a bare-shell restoration, we can scope the job and give you an honest assessment of what's involved.

  • Rust repair and metal fabrication
  • Panel straightening on hand-formed bodywork
  • Period-correct colour matching
  • Full body resprays — factory or custom colours
  • Chrome trim refitting and alignment
  • Pre-restoration assessment and quoting
