Restoration & Renewals
Our Restoration Process
At Wagonmaster, we treat every restoration as both a craft and a legacy — meticulously renewing each classic SUV from frame to finish so it drives like new and feels timeless for years to come.
Wagonmaster Frame-Off Renewal Process
Every Wagonmaster vehicle undergoes a comprehensive frame-off renewal that elevates the original classic experience with modern performance, reliability, and durability. Our approach isn’t about shortcuts — it’s about respect for the vehicle’s heritage and passion for quality. From engineering to upholstery to final assembly, thoughtful precision defines every step.
We only restore vehicles in our own inventory to our exacting standards. Every renewal project we undertake is built to be showroom-ready and dependable on the road.
