Full Restorations
Frame-off and body-on restorations of classic cars and vintage vehicles, handled in-house from start to finish at Fritz Auto Body in Abbotsford, BC.
What This Service Involves
A full restoration brings a classic or vintage vehicle back to a drivable, finished condition. Fritz Auto Body performs both frame-off restorations, where the body is separated from the chassis so each component can be addressed individually, and body-on restorations for projects that do not require full disassembly.
Because the work is performed in-house, the major stages of a restoration stay under one roof, keeping the project coordinated from teardown through final assembly.
What We Do
Restoration work at Fritz Auto Body can include the following stages, depending on the vehicle and the scope of the project:
- •Media blasting to strip old finish and reveal the true condition of the metal
- •Rust repair on just about any vehicle
- •Custom fabrication where panels or parts are no longer available
- •Paint application and refinishing
- •Final assembly to bring the vehicle back together
When You May Need This Service
A full restoration may be appropriate when a vehicle needs:
- •Comprehensive rust and metal work across the body or chassis
- •A frame-off or body-on restoration of a classic or vintage vehicle
- •Custom fabrication to replace unavailable panels or parts
- •A complete refresh of paint and final assembly
Our Approach
Restoration projects are handled in-house and follow the stages the vehicle requires. A typical full restoration moves through media blasting to assess the metal, rust repair, custom fabrication where needed, paint, and final assembly. We work closely with you to understand the scope of your project before work begins.
