Specialising in restoring and performing full rotisserie rebuilds of classic vehicles and muscle cars, Perfection Body Werx is a hidden gem in the world of car restoration.
In the world of high-end car restorations, reputation is built on results and word-of-mouth. You won’t see a sign outside their workshop, nor will you find a flashy website or a bustling social media presence.
Their exceptional restorations and a reputation for unparalleled quality have clientele queuing up; this exclusive body shop is booked solid for the next two years.
Currently, Perfection Body Werx is undertaking a bare-metal restoration of a 1976 Bathurst model XB GT with a rich racing history, which will be showcased at Summernats.
“These cars have become incredibly valuable” Scott says. “This one had to be restored to its original specifications and to the highest standard possible.”
Scott MacGuire has been at the helm of Perfection Body Werx in Kirrawee, New South Wales, for five years, bringing 30 years of smash repair expertise to the table. The shop’s mission is clear: quality without compromise.
“We don’t cut corners,” Scott says. “These cars are investments, not just another job from a car yard.”
For top-tier restorations, Scott turns to trusted products.
“I’ve been using U-Pol products for 15 years. We use U-Pol Copper Weld #2 and Dolphin Glaze,” Scott says
“U-Pol Copper Weld #2 is perfect because it coats the bare metal surfaces between panels, sealing them. Originally, these cars rusted because there was nothing between the surfaces. Copper Weld #2 coats the metal, and you can still weld through it. So, once it’s restored, it’ll last longer than any of us.”
U-Pol Copper Weld #2 offers superconductivity and is suitable for use before SPOT, MIG, and TIG welding on prepped surfaces. Its strong adhesion and superior rust protection make it perfect for durable restorations.
For body refinishing, Scott and his team use U-Pol Dolphin Glaze for its superior quality and ease of use. “It flows out really well, is easy to sand, and is excellent for filling pinholes.”
Dolphin Glaze’s self-levelling formula eliminates surface imperfections before painting. Its smooth, ultra-fine finish requires minimal sanding, making it perfect for restoring the distinctive lines of classic cars like the XB GT.
Scott also uses U-Pol Copper Weld #2 and Dolphin Glaze on his personal projects, including his 1970 Datsun 1600 in classic Honey Brown. Scott and his iconic show car frequently appear at shows and rallies, including All Japanese Day, where he won Best Paint last year.
Despite their low-key presence, Perfection Body Werx has become the premier destination for classic and muscle car restorations in South Sydney. Known for their use of high-end materials, authentic restorations, and unwavering commitment to quality, they have earned their stellar reputation.
