Well… yesterday’s hospital story might have caused a few more people to worry than I expected! 😂

Thanks to everyone who reached out with messages and well wishes. I really appreciate it. Thankfully it wasn’t anything too serious and I’m already back home blowing the dust off the EB. 👍

Just a reminder that Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is on tomorrow morning from 9:00am - 11:00am at Benzenes.

A couple of favours to help the morning run smoothly:
• Please take care driving in and around the complex as there’ll be plenty of people walking around.
• Parking inside the complex will be very limited, and please remember the café will still be open to the public.
• If you’re coming along just to have a look at the cars, we’d really appreciate it if you could park across the road where possible. It’ll help keep access clear and also give us the opportunity to line a few cars up along the street.

The weather is looking great, we’ve got an awesome lineup of cars, coffee, raffle prizes and plenty of good company, all while raising money for a cause that affects so many families.

Thanks to your generosity we’ve already smashed through our original $5,000 fundraising goal with the online donations alone! 🤯

Now let’s see if we can finish strong and make a run at $10,000. If you’d like to donate but can’t make it tomorrow, I’ll pop the donation link in the comments below.

We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow. ❤️

No more Hot Rod & Street Machine Show in Perth?

We reckon that’s left a pretty big hole in the local car scene.

So we thought we’d do our bit…

We’ve spent the last few weeks getting a very special build ready, and after more late nights than I’d like to admit, it’s finally time to pull the cover off.

Join us at our Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea this Saturday as we unveil one seriously killa build for the first time.

If you’re into hot rods, street machines or just appreciate a properly built car, you won’t want to miss this one.

🗓 Saturday
🕘 9:00am – 11:00am
📍 Benzenes – 3/57 Prosperity Avenue, Wangara

Grab a coffee, enjoy some cake, support a great cause and be there when the cover comes off.

Who’s got a guess what’s hiding underneath? 👀

Another VK Brock replica in for some much-needed TLC.

Whether you’re a Holden fan or not, there’s no denying the impact the VK Brock had on Australian car culture. The shape, the graphics and that unmistakable presence still turn heads decades later.

This one underwent a full paint correction to remove years of wash marks and imperfections before receiving a ceramic coating to enhance the gloss and protect the finish.

It’s always a pleasure working on cars that played such a big role in the golden era of Australian motoring.

Swipe through the photos to see the results.

Feel free to skip the first 30secs or so and get straight into the good bits 🤙

Some cars never get old. 🔥

Mr Polony’s XD Falcon was back in the workshop this week for a maintenance visit, including machine polishing and re-coating of a few panels.

It’s easy to focus on the initial transformation, but ongoing maintenance is what keeps these cars looking their best year after year.

A tough Falcon and always a pleasure to have back in the shop. 👌

How far have you driven a Falcon GTHO?

Honestly, if I combined every trip I’ve done in one, I’d be lucky to have covered 10 metres 😂

Most of the GTHOs that come through our workshop aren’t driven—they’re preserved.

And that’s exactly why it’s such a privilege to be trusted with them.

Some of the rarest Falcons ever built, and every one of them carries a story, a history and a responsibility that isn’t lost on me 🙏

You don’t see many XC Fairmont Coupes finished like this.

The black vinyl roof paired with the tan interior gives it a completely different look to most, and somehow it just works 👌

And for those paying attention… check out the 4.9 badge 😜

A true piece of Ford history.

SS Saturday 😲

I don’t know about you, but whenever I see a VN SS Group A, I’m instantly reminded of Peter Brock’s iconic shootout lap at Bathurst.

We had the pleasure of bringing this one back to life. With cars like these, it’s not always about chasing paint perfection. It’s often about the details you can’t see — the deep cleaning in all the nooks and crannies, preserving and treating the rubbers, seals, plastics and vinyl, and ensuring the car is presented and protected for years to come.

A true Aussie icon 👌
