DB7 Restoration

[goodlife]

Wow it's been a VERY long time since I was on here... hello all my old friends.

My DB7 Vantage went for an MOT where I was told it had rusted away underneath, and I should prepare my wallet for a 'restoration rather than a quick repair'. I believe it's quite typical for them to rust backwards from the door sills and it spreads quickly toward the back of the car.

Anyone else had this restoration done? Likely costs? Recommendations for somewhere to have it done?

Thanks

Where are you based ?

Chiltern Aston specialise in DB7's and they have repair panel sections in stock, but I guess they would want to see for pricing.

They are in West Herts so not too far from you, plus snipped this from the website. If that helps?[url]

JH Pearce & Co near Chobham are a hugely knowledgable DB7 resource. Might be worth giving him a call.

This is a new specialist to me and, well, not exactly local, but much more local than specialists like Chiltern. Anyone else recommend it for DB7's?

He’s ex-HWM & Nicholas Mee, and specialises mostly in DB7, NP Vanquish and all Gaydon era cars.

I’d suggest a chat with Bamford Rose or Cotswold Prestige Cars. Not too far from your location. Cotswold Prestige is near Cheltenham - restoration and DB7 experience.

You could try JH Pearce & Co near Chobham. I haven't used them myself, but they are probably more local than most.
