Classic Car Fabrication
At Auto RARA, Classic Car fabrication is where craftsmanship and precision engineering meet. Our in-house team blends traditional coachbuilding techniques with the accuracy of modern fabrication processes to achieve concours-standard results. From hand-formed aluminium panels to complex chassis repairs and structural rebuilds, every piece is shaped with care, experience and technical mastery. We draw on decades of heritage knowledge, enhanced by today’s technology — ensuring perfect alignment, fit and finish throughout. Whether restoring originality or recreating the unobtainable, Auto RARA’s fabrication capability sets the benchmark for excellence in classic car restoration
Auto RARA’s fabricators master heritage techniques such as English wheeling, hand-forming, shrinking and stretching. These time-honoured skills preserve authenticity and capture each car’s original character — craftsmanship shaped by feel, instinct and experience that no machine can truly replicate.
Auto RARA combines traditional craftsmanship with modern precision engineering. Using Celette jigs, digital measurement and advanced fabrication tools, our team ensures exact alignment, structural integrity and accuracy throughout every build — delivering results that meet or exceed original factory standards.
Auto RARA handles all fabrication projects, from small sills, panels, or rust repairs to full bespoke hand-built cars. Combining heritage craftsmanship with modern precision, we ensure structural integrity, flawless fit, and concours-level finish, preserving each car’s history while maximising its future potential.
At Auto RARA, fabrication is where heritage craftsmanship meets modern engineering excellence. Our in-house team blends traditional hand skills with advanced technology to deliver precision, authenticity, and concours-level results. Every project is approached with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring each car is restored or created to the highest possible standard.
At the heart of our fabrication work lies traditional craftsmanship. Our fabricators are experts in English wheeling, hand-forming, shrinking, and stretching, shaping complex curves and body lines exactly as they were intended. These time-honoured skills preserve the authenticity and character of every classic, delivering artistry that machines alone cannot replicate. Each panel is crafted by feel, instinct, and experience, connecting every restoration to the rich history of classic car making.
Alongside our heritage techniques, Auto RARA employs modern precision engineering to ensure accuracy and structural integrity. Using Celette jigs, digital measurement systems, and advanced fabrication tools, we align, repair, and rebuild with exacting standards. This combination of traditional and contemporary methods allows us to meet or exceed original factory specifications while maintaining the car’s authenticity.
Our fabrication service covers a full spectrum of work. From small, routine repairs such as sills, panels, or localised rust issues to full-scale, bespoke hand-built cars, each project receives the same dedication to quality. Whether preserving a single panel or crafting an entirely new vehicle, Auto RARA ensures flawless fit, structural integrity, and finish, honouring the car’s history while maximising its future potential.
Beyond technical excellence, our customer-centric approach sets us apart. Clients can follow every stage of their car’s restoration or fabrication through our detailed build diary, providing transparency and insight into the process. Our team works closely with owners to understand their vision, guiding decisions and offering expertise that turns every project into a collaborative journey.
