Bit of a strange one. Bought a 1986 Honda Civic last year. The car has been off the road for quite a while. I got my usual mechanic to make it roadworthy and got it back on the road but the alternator has gone so it’s been parked up for quite a few months now.

Looking for somewhere that can help me restore the car from top to bottom. Initial ideas are a full strip down, sort out the rot, respray the car and then fit an engine with a little bit more poke.

I’ve had a look around for Honda specialists but they all seem to never return my calls/emails or are too busy to care. Any suggestions for places folks?

Arran Motors on Whitehall Road Industrial estate, they've got a fair few restorations on the go most of the time, they've been helping me keep my Corrado on the road for about 10 years now.

Track Torque?

I used to work next door and we used them to sort out our Lotus when a Range Rover drove on top of it. They also had a gt2 wing off a car that they paint matched and put on our 911t. In our experience they did good work. They also always had restoration projects going alongside their more traditional work .
