The Restoration Workshop

Favoured by high end coach builders and car manufacturers on cars such as Rolls Royce, Jaguar and Ferrari for many years, Leadloading is somewhat of a "dark art". 

In this ever popular session the team will discuss the plus points of lead and also the pitfalls to be aware of when using it. They will show you the equipment needed to be able to do your own lead repairs, the stages of the repair and how to finish your repair. 

It is a very popular session and you will be able to ask the team questions at the end should you need to. 

The "wheeling machine" or "English wheel" is having a resurgence in interest within classic car circles everywhere. In this session basic panel fabrication techniques using the wheel are demonstrated.

The team will also explain what can be done at home in your garage even if you haven't the luxury of a wheeling machine, using basic tools that are easily accessible. 

We all want the best finish possible on our classics and in this session the team will talk about and demonstrate the techniques used when polishing a fresh paint job on a car and also how to remove defects from a paint finish.

They will explain the different types and grades of abrasives and show you how to use tools to achieve the best finish. They will also show you how to do it the old fashioned way, by hand.

As ever they will be answering questions after the session.
