CLASSIC CAR RESTORER / FABRICATOR WANTED 🔧
Tins Restorations & Kustoms – Saltash, Cornwall (just outside Plymouth)
We’re looking for a competent, hands-on person to join us working on classic car restorations and custom builds.
You need to be able to MIG weld and fabricate to a good standard, including cutting out corrosion, making and fitting repair sections, and carrying out general restoration work.
We’re not looking for someone who knows absolutely everything – but you do need to be practical, reliable, able to use your initiative and capable of getting on with a job without constant supervision.
Mechanical knowledge and previous classic car, restoration or fabrication experience would be a big advantage.
💰 Starting from £125 per day – rate dependent on experience and skill level
📅 4 days per week
📍 Saltash, Cornwall – just outside Plymouth
📈 Potential for the rate and role to develop for the right person
We’re a small specialist workshop, so finding the right person who fits in with the team and takes genuine pride in their work is important to us.
If this sounds like you – or you know someone who might be interested – send us a message and have a chat.
Photos or examples of previous welding, fabrication or restoration work would be great to see.

🚐🔧 IMPORTANT – NEW VEHICLE STORAGE POLICY
As Tins Restoration & Kustoms gets busier, workshop and vehicle storage space is becoming increasingly valuable.
We completely understand that owning and restoring older vehicles sometimes means waiting for hard-to-find parts. However, we can no longer accommodate vehicles for extended periods without a storage charge, particularly when this prevents us from bringing other customers’ vehicles into the workshop.
From 1st September, the following policy will apply:
🔧 COMPLETED VEHICLES
Once you have been notified that your vehicle is finished and ready for collection, we ask that it is collected within 3 calendar days.
After this period, storage will be charged at £25 per day.
🔩 VEHICLES WAITING FOR CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED PARTS
If work cannot continue because we are waiting for parts that the customer is sourcing or supplying, we will allow a 14-day grace period.
After 14 days, a storage charge of £15 per day will apply until the required parts arrive and work can resume.
We know that parts for T25s and other classics aren’t always sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought! If there are exceptional circumstances, please speak to us. Any alternative storage arrangements must be agreed with Tins in advance.
This isn’t about making money from storage — it’s about keeping enough space available to keep the workshop moving and everyone’s projects progressing. ❤️🚐
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
