RIXCAR car restoration workshop is located in Riga - the capital of Latvia. The company has seven year experience in car restoration processes, at the moment there are 14 employees in RIXCAR and each of them is a master in his field.

The main focus areas are:
-car body repairs and painting
-classic car restoration
-exhaust system tuning

This will be a quite big post, but it should be an interesting material. So we have got a 1960 Ford Thunderbird.
Our aim was to restore the bodywork.
The place where everything happened: RIXCAR.

This is how the car looked when it first arrived at RIXCAR workshop. In general the car was in average condition, there was comparatively little rust, however the body was not straight, therefore a lot of putty has been used during previous body repairs.

The car body has been painted black as it is easier to identify any possible car body drawbacks or to ensure that there are none.

The car body was prepared well and the car has already got the final paint layer.
