Vintage car restoration can be a rewarding and challenging experience.

It requires careful preparation and planning to achieve a successful restoration - and to finish it on time!

Here are some hints and tips to help you:

• Before you begin, make sure you have all the information you need. Buy manuals and books and read them thoroughly so you know exactly what you need to do.
  
  
• Budget carefully for any parts you need to buy. Vintage car restoration can start off cheap and quickly become expensive as more and more parts are required. A budget enables you to keep track of costs whilst progressing with the restoration.
  
  
• Speak to people who have taken on the restoration you are about to do. They can be a great source of advice and will save you hours in your restoration.
  
  
• Allow plenty of time for the vintage car restoration. It may look a quick job, but you'll find time slipping away as the job gets bigger and bigger!
  
  
• Use specialist services to speed up the restoration process. It can be very beneficial to use outside companies to do small jobs eg. spraying, cleaning, welding and calibration.
  
  
• Ensure that you have all the tools to do the job. Specialist quality tools make jobs easier and neater. If your tools are old, update them!
  
  
• Use the internet. Search wisely and find sources of parts, repairs and help.
  
  
• Take your time! Some jobs require extra care and attention. Spend the time and you'll be rewarded with a top quality restoration.
