Body’s solid and it runs but needs a lot of mechanical work to be roadworthy again, brakes are sketchy, cooling system needs attention, probably suspension bushes, fluids all need changing, the usual stuff for a car that’s been neglected. I’m handy with basic maintenance but this is beyond my skills, need a proper mechanic who knows these old vehicles and can guide me through what needs doing without charging a fortune. Looking for somewhere that’s patient enough to explain things and maybe let me watch and learn a bit, not just a place that wants to take over and do everything themselves. A friend who restores old cars recommended a workshop he’s used, think I found their site at https://caracrepairsharjah.ae/ and they seem to handle classic cars and restorations. Has anyone used them for project car work, are they okay with owners being involved or do they prefer to just work independently?
