VEHICLE RESTORATION SPECIALISTS
At Golden Barn Garage, we specialise in classic and modern vehicle restorations, turning dreams into reality. Our expert team is passionate about breathing new life into your pride and joy, whether it is Porsches, American muscle cars, Aston Martins, classic Transporters, or more.

OUR RESTORATION PROCESS
We take a tailored approach to every project, ensuring your vehicle is restored to its original glory or modified to your exact vision.
1. Consultation & Assessment
Every great restoration begins with understanding your vision. We start with an in-depth consultation to discuss your goals, preferences, and any historical significance of the vehicle. Our team conducts a comprehensive inspection, assessing the structural integrity, mechanical components, and bodywork condition. This allows us to develop a tailored restoration plan, outlining the work required to bring your vehicle back to its best.
2. Stripping & Preparation
Once the plan is in place, we carefully disassemble the vehicle, ensuring every component is cataloged for restoration, refurbishment, or replacement. We remove old paint, address any hidden corrosion, and treat rusted areas to prevent future deterioration. This phase also includes initial bodywork repairs and preparation, setting the foundation for a flawless restoration.
3. Panel & Chassis Restoration
For vehicles requiring extensive bodywork, our expert fabricators and welders restore the chassis, panels, and structural components with precision. Whether it’s replacing damaged panels, reinforcing weak spots, or fabricating bespoke metalwork, we ensure the vehicle’s frame and body are restored to original factory specifications—or improved for enhanced durability and performance.
4. Paintwork & Finishing
A vehicle’s finish is the ultimate showcase of a quality restoration. We use high-grade materials and industry-leading techniques to achieve a perfect, showroom-quality paint job. From classic, factory-correct finishes to custom paintwork, prep, priming, color application, and finishing—is executed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a deep, lustrous, and long-lasting result.
5. Engine & Mechanical Restoration
Under the bonnet, we ensure your vehicle’s heart and soul are as good as—if not better than—new. Our expert mechanics specialise in engine rebuilds, transmission overhauls, suspension tuning, and brake system restorations. Whether we’re reviving an original powertrain or upgrading performance with modern enhancements, our focus is on reliability, power, and smooth drivability.
6. Interior Refurbishment
The cabin of a restored vehicle should be just as stunning and comfortable as its exterior. Our team meticulously restores or upgrades seats, upholstery, dashboards, trim, and electrics. Whether preserving period-correct interiors with OEM materials or adding custom luxury finishes, modern sound systems, and bespoke leatherwork, we ensure a perfect blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and comfort.
7. Final Assembly & Testing
After months of dedicated craftsmanship, the final stage brings everything together. With precision reassembly, every component is installed, aligned, and fine-tuned to perfection. Before handing over the keys, we conduct extensive road testing, safety checks, and performance
