Restoration
Richard Mullin Coachbuilding performs complete restorations from body to chassis, mechanical and upholstery. All metal work is done in house as well as the detail, paint and assembly. We have a long time affiliation with an award winning upholsterer and mechanical subcontractors, each one dealing with specific marques. The combined effort of such uniquely talented craftsmen culminates in the finestĀ restorations.
Our vintage radiator restoration is quite varied. We can supply and install authentic cartridge (honeycomb) style, film style, V Sell, and modern R type radiator (tube) cores. Specializing in various materials from brass, copper, German silver, and stainless steel, we can repair and replicate all styles of vintage radiators using original techniques and equipment.
All radiators are metal finished and can be supplied with raw, painted, polished or plated surfaces. With our innovative in house capabilities we are often able to install modern high efficiency cores in vintage radiators to help accommodate retro-fitted air conditioning.
Keeping with traditional coachbuilding skills, we are highly experienced in the fabrication and repair of vintage wooden body framing. Only the highest quality white ash is used combined with new hardware and advanced bonding materials. This advanced bonding technology is used to provide a strong structure that is still able to move with changing climate and road use.
