Greg’s Fastback Mustang is coming along nicely.

We’ve now painted the engine bay, boot area and the dash, ticking off another big milestone in the build.

The car has now gone back to Greg so he can fit up all the running gear, and once that’s done it’ll be back in the workshop for the final bodywork and paint.

The Jensen is back underway!

After being on hold for a while it’s great to have this one back in the workshop and moving forward again.

We painted the body some time ago, and now we’re down to the front and rear guards plus a few other parts to finish off.

We’ve completed the filler work on the parts, and taken them right through to paint, with just a wet face and buff left to bring them up. 👌

We’ve gone with a slightly darker grey on the guards compared to the body, giving it a subtle contrast that should look killer once everything is together.

Another project moving through the workshop is this V12 E-Type Jag Roadster

What started out as an accident repair has now turned into a full rebuild. and first pulled the accident damage back into shape before the car was completely stripped down and taken back to bare metal.

From there, Kyle got to work refining the accident repairs, fabricating the panels needed, and repairing the rust throughout the body. As with any restoration, once the paint comes off you always find a few extra surprises!

Next up, the Jag will be epoxy primed before moving into the next stage of panel work.

The HK van is moving along nicely! 👌

With all the repairs now completed, it was time to get everything sealed up and protected for the long haul. The body was treated with Rust Go, followed by Restofinish Epoxy inside and out to lock everything down and provide a solid foundation for the next stages.

Underneath, the van has been coated in Protect 2K stone guard, giving it a tough, durable finish that will stand up to plenty of use.

It’s great to see this one coming together. With the body now sealed up and protected, it’s time to move on to the next stage of the build. Stay tuned for more updates as this HK continues to take shape.

Skins HK panel van came to us with the owner having already tackled the majority of the rust repairs and completed a number of repairs around the body. Our job was to fill the side windows, tidy up some of the previous repairs, and get the body sealed up ready for the next stage.

got to work fabricating the infill panels, and together with , welded them into place and dressed everything up nicely—a real two-man job. The now windowless van has come up great, with a clean, smooth finish that completely transforms its look. Another solid job by the team.

Plenty happening in the workshop, with Greg’s Fastback Mustang being one of the latest projects on the go. 👌

Barry had already completed a huge amount of work, including the RH drive conversion, new floor, quarter panels, taillight panel and plenty more.

From there, fine-tuned all the panel alignment and gaps before the car was stripped, bare-metalled, epoxied and fully protected inside and out. The engine bay filler work is now complete, primed, and the dash has been welded back in.

Next up we’ll paint the engine bay and dash before Greg fits the running gear, then it’ll return later for the final bodywork and paint. Looking forward to seeing this one come together! 🔥

Super stoked to see all the hard work pay off. The Chev Apache picked up some awesome results at Meguiar's MotorEx — Gold in Bodywork, Silver in Paintwork, Silver in Engineering, and Bronze in Design & Ex*****on.
To top it off, the Apache also took out Best in Class – Street Elite.

Proud to have been part of such an epic build by Robi at Fekete Fabrications and even better to do it for a great client who’s also a great mate.

A massive thanks to the MSRR crew for their hard work and dedication — couldn’t have done it without you. Daniel Bloomfield Damo Rodway De Kuijer

Here it is, folks, unveiled today at Meguiar's MotorEx this 1958 Chev Apache Uniside has been an absolute pleasure to handle the panel and paint on. An incredible build by Robi Fekete Fabrications bringing together timeless style with modern design touches.

The MSRR crew has put a huge amount of work into this Chev—from repairing rust throughout the body, fitting a big back window kit and wheel tubs, to getting all the panels sitting just right. We’ve painted everything from the chassis and running gear through to the body, along with incorporating numerous custom 3D-printed and CNC-machined parts. It’s the small details and finishing touches that really tie the whole build together.

On display this weekend at Meguiar’s MotorEx—make sure you check it out.
