I know this one's not quite a chrome bumper car but he's a good customer who has other chrome bumpered cars we do. General workshops aren't real interested in older cars so we need to help out. Did a whole bunch of work on this one to get it safe and reliable. Rebooked already to make it look cooler next. Low rider style.

Next one through is one of my favourites. An early Holden with a V8 is always nice. Interstate build has come in for SA rego. Unfortunately (and this will ruffle a few feathers but it's 17 years of first hand experience) most interstate custom builds aren't up to SA standards. This one got inspected by an engineer first to inspect the mods and then by us to inspect the mods, plus the road worthy condition etc. To get something like this legal and safe in SA isn't always easy. We've got a lot more work than we all expected but the end result will be a killer, safe and reliable cruiser.

To say we're busy would be an understatement at the moment. We've got a couple really exciting new builds about to come in but before they do, there's a couple others to finish off. This genuine HD X2 came in with a severe driveline vibration to sort out and also insanely tight and heavy steering. Much more pleasurable to drive now.

The next cruiser out the doors was this cool as, ex YouTube iron empire Val wagon. We had it on for the usual inspection and report. Then went through pretty much every section giving it some love. Now it's safe and reliable and ready for a coffee and chrome anywhere he decides, knowing he'll get home again.

Well here's a post that we never thought we would make but couldn't say no. Say hi to our new apprentice Alex. Unfortunately his first job was to clean up next doors fire extinguisher mess so it doesn't get all over the workshop and customers cars. Glad to have you onboard mate. Now it's time to build some crazy s**t. Cheers

G'day all. I'm not going to go into detail as this is a workshop page but I need to share this. If you or anyone you know suffers from panic attacks or panic disorder this could and provably will change their life. Get them to click on this link to watch this video. It is amazing. If this helps one person, it'll be worth it.
Cheers

Gotta love a good makeover. Super nice HQ coupe came back for a bit of a change and fix a whole heap of issues at the same time. Read springs were reset to dump the rear, slow sloppy gear changes are gone with the new shift kit done, basic neat engine was stripped of its bolt ons. Painted and ceramic coated everything, new polished alternator, water pump etc. Ditched the holley blue fuel pump that sounds like an outboard for a new 500hp mechanical pump along with a complete new 1/2' alloy fuel line with all speedflow fittings and braid, custom hidden bonnet cable. And of course our new son to be released black marine Deks hose clamps. Now all we need is some decent weather so it can cruise the streets with its new street cred

Our billet Valiant hinges have gone nuts recently.
We have a few sets left.
2 x Charger boot sets.
2 x VF/VG hardtop boot sets. 1 set left now.
1 x VH, CH, VJ hardtop boot set.
1 x AP5, Ap6, VC bonnet set left. Sold out.
2 x VE-CM bonnet sets. 1 set left now.
Not sure when or if these will be done again, so if you're keen, nows the time to grab them.
For those that grabbed some bonnet ones and are now thinking of grabbing a boot set, hit us up soon.
Cheers

About 4000hp in the house. Not bad for a small shop that specialises in old cars I reckon.
