How long does it take to complete a project?
Each individual project's duration depends on the scope and complexity of the design. Restoring a vehicle is like restoring an old house, once we take the paint off we have a better idea of what is actually going on, but we don't know until we start.
We work closely with our clients to establish an indicative timeline and we always provide regular progress updates. Throughout the restoration process we always document each step and liaise with our clients before progressing if something unexpected comes up.

We believe in what we do, and we stand behind the quality of our work.
