    Car Restoration

    Anyone know of a good place to get a ground up job done in southern England?

    I work with a guy who has a classic Alfa, and its in tidy enough condition (taxed/MOT'd) but he wants it concours. The last place that did it for him on another car, the paint job started to dull and corrosion started to come through after about 5 years. This was a dry stored, summer use only car as well. Ruined the car for him, so he sold it. This time, he is looking for it done right.

    He is looking for a complete strip back to shell, and build up job. Any recommendations?

    Billy, drop Alex (Supersonic) a PM and he might know of a company who can help your mate, what with all the contacts he has. His company restores old Alvis cars from stripped down bare shells to full running examples, so it's fair to say he knows a thing or 2 about the subject.
