O'Toole Restoration

From bare sandblasted doors to epoxy primer and pre finished ready for rust repair.
We apply our body colour and body deadening in a wet on wet format to maximise efficiency and adhesion, as these areas are challenging to reach for prep and clean/remove dust.
Directly after sandblasting we have minimal oxidation and maximum adhesion.

🇦🇺 Happy Australia Day! 🇦🇺
We’ve had the pleasure of restoring a lot of Aussie history here and have a lot on the go at the moment!
Our country is a beauty, with many freedoms and privileges we take for granted that are not afforded everywhere. Join us in taking today to be thankful for those who came before us and built this great nation on the values and structures that have given us such a magnificent place to live! Let’s flood the internet with the Aussie flag and Aussie history today!

Poster boys!

Proud to be supporting Sidequest Motorsport again in 2026!

30 bucks to see top Tassie talent at Drift League! Why wouldn’t you?!

Drift League - Round One 2026

We’re kicking off the year with a bang, a stacked field of L1 and L2 Drivers will start the season off for the very first time - going Reverse Direction. This always gives us some major upsets and under dog winners, because with reverse direction HP doesn’t matter.

Our L1 field are stepping up to 265mm (30mm wider) tyres and we expect it to be the fastest, most exciting driving we’ve ever seen. Half of our L2 field have stepped up to L1, we’re going to see both our L1 (Logan Lovell) and L2 (Tahn Jacobson) champions face off in the same class for the very first time.

Symmons Plains provides an experience not rivalled around Australia, with an amazing park and view cinema style experience for the best, closed viewing - so you don’t miss a thing!

Being our first ever February event, bring out the Picnic Blanket, Fold out chairs, Straw hats and enjoy an action packed Saturday!

More info on our event page!

After sandblasting then epoxy coating, we’ve decided to “wet on wet” our finish colour in a direct gloss metallic to efficiently cover these difficult and tedious areas in the HQ van.
Although it’s not the finished product it’s very satisfying to see the beautiful Blackwatch Green so soon into this project!

There’s a lot of work left in this one so stay tuned!
