Write down what needs to be done

The first thing you need to do before you start restoring your vehicle is sit down and decide what you intend to restore on the vehicle.

How far do you intend to go and what major and minor restorations need to be done on the vehicle. You will need to take an honest

account of the condition the vehicle is in and find out exactly what will be involved in order to get it where you want it to be. Make sure

you strip down the paint if you’re unsure, to avoid nasty surprises down the line when you are already invested in the project.

Work out the costs

As with all major projects, it’s important to work out how much the actual restoration will cost you and compare this to the value the car

will have once the project is done. Your budget will depend on the vehicle you have chosen to restore and the amount of work that is

required on that vehicle. Make sure that you won’t be spending more than the car will be worth and that once you have set a budget, you

stick to it as this will ensure that the project is worthwhile and you don’t end up regretting you ever started.

Prep for success

Take time to source the correct materials and any assistance you may need to make your dream car a reality. Enlist all the help you need

and make sure that you have a timeline in place to help focus your efforts. Sourcing good, cost effective parts will help you stay on

budget so make sure you take the time to find good suppliers.

Attention to detail

It’s the little details that will make your restoration project a success so take time to make the little things count. Quick ways to make

your classic car stand out from the crowd include polishing old glass, renewing faded lenses and lubricating door seals to name a few.

Look for ways to personalise your restoration project and ensure that all your hard work results in a vehicle that reflects its classic design

as well as the hard work you put into it.
