Check out these before and after shots of the latest project completed and out the JBA door! A 2002 Land Rover Defender once used as a farm runaround, now transformed into a thing of beauty!

We are always trying to find new ways of making what we do more efficient and better looking, but most of all allowing us to do jobs that other body shops may not be able to take on. Metal fabrication is made a lot easier by having these tools in the shop, and we can achieve much better shaping of our pieces.

With thanks to and for our newest additions 👍

Two new aluminium door skins on a customer's Land Rover Defender 90. This one came to us as a well used farm truck, but will leave us as quite the opposite! We will post a before and after when it is ready and out the door!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Hillman Racing Imp🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
From bare metal (with phosphoric acid coating), to primer (epoxy then high-build), to prep and a final top coat. A lot of effort went in to get the lines and panel gaps as close to perfect as possible, which was made a bit more tricky as, to keep the weight down, this hill climbing Imp will have fibre glass doors, bonnet and engine lid. The owner is having it back for a re-fit, we'll post an update later in the year of the finished project!

Please allow us to proudly present our Porsche 987 Cayman S project:
This has had some extensive body modifications - custom front and rear bumpers, created in-house and completely bespoke to this car. The front bumper has been totally changed from the original, with a one-off design that now also houses some new LED lights for sides, fogs and main beam. The plastic grilles were also made by us.
A rear diffuser has been moulded into the original rear bumper, making it completely unique. The rear of the car is finished off with a Saint Tropez tailgate spoiler.
The sill extensions/side skirts have been moulded into the body, creating a flush fit that seems as though they are a part of the original body.
It has also had a full respray in the original Carrara Weiss Porsche colour with a metallic black roof, trims and ancillaries.
The brake calipers have been sprayed in Porsche Acid Green, and are complimented by the satin black 19" Fuchs wheels.
We are really happy with how this has turned out, but the main thing for us is that our customer was genuinely blown away at the big reveal. Let us know what you think in the comments!

A lot of "every day" car manufacturers are now using some pretty special colours on their vehicles and this one is no exception - Peugeot's "Rouge Elixir". A 3-stage metallic, with a tinted clear coat over a gold base coat finished with a clear lacquer.
