Precision Craftsmanship for Automotive Legends

Expert restoration and performance upgrades for classic cars — built with heritage, detail, and care.

About Hawkesbury

With over 30 years of hands-on experience and an enduring passion for classic motoring, Hawkesbury Classic and Performance exists for one purpose: to restore icons with precision, care, and the highest craftmanship.

We specialise in full restorations — breathing new life into vehicles that deserve nothing less than excellence.

From bare-metal rebuilds to concours-level finishes, every project is guided by an obsessive attention to detail and a deep appreciation for automotive heritage.

Because every classic has a story — and we’re here to preserve it.

Core Services

Complete & Partial Restorations

Each restoration, whether complete or partial, is handled with the same uncompromising attention to detail and deep respect for the car’s original character.

Component & Sub-Assembly Restoration

No detail overlooked — we restore the parts you don’t always see, but always feel. Braking, suspension, and drivetrain systems are rebuilt to as-new condition with exacting care.

Engine Restoration & Rebuilds

Every engine we rebuild is treated as the heart of the car — restored with care, knowledge, and pride.

Performance Upgrades for Classics

Improved performance, without compromise. Our upgrades enhance drivability while preserving the soul of every classic.

Vapour Blasting & Component Cleaning

Sometimes it’s the smallest parts that matter most — our vapour blasting process brings them back to life, gently and beautifully.

Specialist MIG & TIG Welding

Because what’s beneath the surface matters. From precision repairs to full fabrication, we offer expert MIG and TIG welding for structural and cosmetic restoration.

Craftsmanship

At Hawkesbury, we take on a select number of restorations and every car that passes through our workshop is treated like our own.

With Ryan and Paul at the heart of the business, we bring a personal level of pride and craftsmanship to every restoration — no shortcuts and no compromises.

We take pride in the things others miss — the precise panel fit, the feel of a switch, the way a door closes. It’s this attention to detail that defines our work and earns the trust of collectors, enthusiasts, and everyday drivers alike.
