Resto Shack Automotive Restoration Resto Shack is a small modern Restoration and Fabrication workshop in the West Country.

We offer services from full blown Restoration, Race prep & fab and specialist paintwork. We thrive on the retro and old school cars of the 60s/70s/80s and 90s

Here at Resto Shack we believe that everything can be saved,
whether it be a ‘90s Civic or a ‘20s Ford. We are a modern and progressive workshop specialising in classic and retro
cars. We respect and use the traditional methods of body repair/ coach building,
but also incorporate many modern procedures and equipment, giving us the edge to
tackle both traditional restoration projects and modern bespoke car builds. We work closely with local specialist companies who deal with interiors, graphics,
performance brake systems, powder coating ,
and many more. Using our combined efforts has earned us many show awards and wide
recognition as one of the finest small resto shops in the West Country. We understand that building and restoring the best of classic/ retro cars does bear a
cost and we like to work with our customers’ budget and commitments, for large and
more involved jobs we offer a monthly payment plan and also vehicles can be stored
over a period of time to ease the cost. We’re not in this business to make
millions just build some of the best looking and coolest cars around,
and gain a few friends in doing so....
So if we sound like the right place for your next project get in touch

No stone left unturned on this Italian icon! 🇮🇹🔥

We’re wrapping up the final stages of metalwork on this Lancia Delta Integrale, tracking down and repairing all those little cracks and weak spots this model is notorious for. It’s the finer details that make all the difference in a proper restoration!

Great to see this legendary Italian rally icon moving forward, and we’re already looking ahead to 2027, when we can start fitting panels and hopefully see the first splash of colour! 👀🎨

Years separate these two images… and almost NOTHING was left untouched! 🔥

This highly modified Mk2 Es**rt RS2000 has undergone one hell of a transformation. From the body and bespoke X-Pack to the engine, suspension, wheels, interior and carbon details — virtually every part of this car has been reworked, rebuilt or reimagined.

A build years in the making, and a Mk2 Es**rt unlike any other.

Follow RestoShack to see more of the build from start to finish. 👀🔧

Old builds. New workshop. Time to light a fire under this one! 🔥🇮🇹

Our Lancia Delta Integrale restoration is getting a new lease of life at the new shop. We’re pushing hard through the shell metalwork now, tackling the years of repairs and corrosion and getting this iconic rally-bred machine another step closer to being back where it belongs.

Hit follow and keep up with the build — there’s a long way to go, and plenty to come! 👀🔧

Finally… we can show you the finished article! 🔥

It’s been a long time coming, but this Mk2 Es**rt is finally ready for its full reveal. From a stance-inspired car to a seriously purposeful build — race-spec engine and suspension, enlarged wheels and bodywork to suit, a bespoke X-Pack kit, full interior and absolutely dripping in carbon fibre. It’s certainly not your traditional Mk2 Es**rt, but that was never the plan. A completely unique take on a classic. 👌🔥

The RS2000 transformation is really starting to come together! 🔥

After months of metalwork, bodywork and paint, we’re now down to the final few jobs before this RS2000 heads off for assembly. The headliner is fitted and Dynamat has been installed throughout — next stop, Historic Motorsport SW Ltd, where the transformation continues and this car starts coming back together. 🔧👌

The heart of the Mk1 build has arrived! 🔥

Hand-built in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 by the owner, with help from his trusted friends and specialist companies, this engine looks absolutely spot-on. Every detail has been carefully considered and it’s going to fit the style and direction of this OEM-inspired Mk1 Golf build perfectly. 👌

Four resprays, decades of history… and a few surprises hiding underneath! 👀

The Rallye is now back to bare metal, with four separate resprays and the original factory paint stripped from the shell, revealing some questionable repairs along the way. This is exactly why we go this far with a restoration — we have to remove the past before we can begin to build the future. 🔧

Big update on James’s epic Lotus Carlton build! 🔥 The shell sees its first touch of its Lotus Green colour scheme as this true nut-and-bolt restoration takes another big step forward. Our aim throughout is to replicate the original factory OEM finish as closely as possible, while using modern products and processes to achieve improved protection, durability and finish.

Another VW Golf Rallye into the shop! 🔧 The remaining trims and parts have been removed and we’re now getting stuck into the bare-metal paint stripping, giving us a proper look at the shell and revealing any previous repairs or hidden corrosion before the metalwork begins.
