So here it is, nothing glamorous but a second site 5 minutes away from the main site, where we can focus on fabrication & assembly. Ramps already being put to use for an assessment on this lovely Mk5 R32 & shortly the floor assembly for the 72’ Beetle. More equipment to get aswell for metal work but it’s 95% ready

So the fabrication workshop is almost up & running, some electrical work to be done & some more equipment to be purchased & we’re all set. This will be dedicated purely for metal work, mechanical & strip/fit.
I will still be operating out of the main workshop which will be dedicated to bodywork & paint.
I’m still on the lookout for either a full time paint & body specialist or a full time panel beater/fabricator.
If anyone is interested in either position please email your cv & covering letter to [email protected]

Here’s one that’s been quietly going on in the background for a while. Possibly our most important car due too it’s sentimental value.
A 1972’ Marathon Beetle. In its first coat of MIPA Epoxy Grundierfiller. All the usual repairs done a Beetle, heater channels, Lower A post, Lower rear quarters etc etc. The good thing about this shell was the fact it was unmolested, we didn’t have to unpick to many old repairs. It’s had some MOT repairs from years gone by but nothing drastic. The one huge bonus was the ‘death foam’ hadn’t gotten to the rear sections of the roof or under the quarter vents. All really solid there.
The floor has also been repaired with new pans, naps hat & lower frame head panel. That will be painted next week ready for reassembly. Many parts have already been reconditioned ready for the build.
This car will be the first car to be assembled in the new unit which is currently being set up for opening the beginning of September.
Keep posted for more updates soon
