Well because of bad health I'm having to shut the doors, I'm gutted but, I would love to thank all my customers many of which have become friends. And for giving me the opportunity to work on some amazing trucks, cars and bikes,

As we go into 2025 I would like to wish all my customers from 2024 a happy new year and thank you for your custom.
2024 had a shaky start with a hospital trip resulting in a hospital stay then months of recovery , I would like to thank those customers for their understanding through what was a challenging time it is much appreciated.
Although it was a shaky start we had some fun projects in such as a full paint on Burtons C10 truck as well as a full bare metal respray in chocolate brown on Adams late Bay .
We also did a bit of welding and paint on blue T4 , amongst all this we did a few bumper corners , quarter panel replacement and general accident repair.
Moving into 2025 we have philpotts Bay window that's well on its way to be finished as well as Kallum Ells Nissan S14 which is a fun project with custom fitted body kit , this is one to keep your eye out for in the summer shows .
We are looking forward to seeing you new and old in 2025 .
Thanks Scott
