Classic Car Restoration Specialists Near Banbury
Classic car restoration is some of the most satisfying work we do at Ant Fabrications. Our workshop in Wardington, near Banbury, has been the starting point for dozens of restoration projects — vehicles brought to us in varying states of disrepair and leaving looking better than the day they were built. Whether you're working towards a full concours restoration or simply want to arrest years of deterioration and return your car to roadworthy condition, we approach every project with the same attention to detail.
The foundation of any proper classic car restoration is honest structural assessment. Rust and rot in sills, floor pans, inner wings, chassis legs and door frames needs to be dealt with completely — not cosmetically covered over. We carry out all the necessary welding and panel fabrication work in-house before any primer or paint touches the car, which means the finished result isn't hiding problems underneath.
Where original replacement panels are unavailable or prohibitively expensive, we fabricate them. Our welding and metalworking capability means we can make panels from scratch to match the original profile, which is often the only practical option for older or rarer vehicles. This fabrication work is what separates a genuine restoration from a refurbishment.
For paint, we offer bare-metal resprays in the original factory colour (matched to the manufacturer's paint code where possible), period-correct colours researched for the car's year of manufacture, or a new colour of your choosing. Our professional spray booth delivers a finish that holds up to the scrutiny of the show field or the concours judge's clipboard. Contact us to discuss your project.
