Chatsworth coachwork studio

Vintage chassis restoration disciplines

Every classic Porsche unibody receives meticulous mechanical alignment and metal fabrication. We restore structural integrity and coachwork lines to authentic factory tolerances.

Workshop disciplines

Master coachwork and refinishing

Structural reconstruction

Bare-metal chassis rehabilitation

Complete frame-off teardowns expose decades of hidden stress and corrosion. Our craftsmen hand-beat replacement steel sections and re-weld chassis pans along original spot-weld locations.

Impact repair

Precision unibody collision alignment

Distorted tubs return to millimeter factory datum points on calibrated benches. We correct torsion tube geometry, door pillar squareness, and suspension pick-up mounts without structural compromise.

Concours finish

Multi-stage lacquer leveling

High-solids clear coats undergo progressive wet-sanding from twelve-hundred to three-thousand grit. The outcome yields true mirror reflections devoid of surface wave or factory orange peel.

Chassis laser inspection

Hand-formed metalwork

Controlled spray application

Micrometer panel gapping

Damaged and oxidized panels are cut clear and reconstructed with authentic gauge steel, English wheels, and planishing hammers.

Digital measurements compare frame pick-up points against original Stuttgart factory blueprints to identify hidden micro-twists.

Epoxy primers and period-accurate color coats bake inside a downdraft booth to guarantee enduring bond and hue fidelity.

Doors, decklids, and front hoods undergo repetitive shimming until uniform perimeter gaps measure consistent across every seam.
