Title: Chrome restoration Melbourne - any recommendations?
Post by: ozrocket on July 19, 2010, 07:46:53 PM
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I recently bought a semi-restored '58 FC special sedan (see photo), and am looking forward to completing the restoration. Most of the chrome on the old girl has rust specks in it and needs re-plating. Can anyone recommend/suggest a good, honest, reliable (and not overpriced) plating company here in Melbourne to do the work?(http://)

p.s. any hints on how to insert the photo?

Thanks everyone for the welcome and quick replies!
Here's a couple more photos. Will take more soon and post!
The old girl is in pretty good nick. Needs an engine rebuild, seatbelts fitted, new tyres, chrome re-worked, RWC and registered (in about that order!). A heater would be nice when I can find an appropriate one in good condition (I believe the warm-a-ride is the authentic unit - just got to find one!!).
