10 years in service and still going strong, time for a new chuck though!

Crazy to think how much work this has seen..

I’ve got some availability opening up over the coming months, so I’m looking to take on a few new classic car restoration and fabrication projects.

My work is primarily focused on bespoke metalwork, panel fabrication, structural repairs and full/part restorations, with a particular interest in projects that need more than a standard bodyshop can offer.

Whether you've got a classic that's been sitting in the garage waiting for its turn, or a project that needs some serious fabrication work, get in touch and we can have a chat about it.
Based in Suffolk.

Austin Allegro - Recommission for the road as it had sat a while

It's been a while since I've done one of these, so I thought I'd put it out there again.

Most people know us for the restorations and repair work, but custom builds and fabrication are still a huge part of what I enjoy doing.

Whether it's an engine conversion, custom suspension, chassis modifications, bespoke body fabrication, or an idea you've had in your head for years, I'm always interested in projects that are a bit different.

I genuinely enjoy the challenge of working out how to make something work properly, rather than just bolting on off-the-shelf parts. Every build is different, and that's exactly why I love doing them.

If you've got a project sitting in the garage waiting for the right time, or you've been told "it can't be done", drop me a message. Even if you're only at the ideas stage, I'm always happy to have a chat and see what's possible.

As always, thank you to everyone who continues to support the business. It really does mean a lot, and I can't wait to see what projects come through the workshop next.

Full Rear end restoration on this wide body Z3, such a lovely car!

Need a rear end refreshed to the same standard?

The Z3's have a factory defect where the rear differential mount is spot welded to a cross member in the chassis rails, they slowly pop the spot welds from the rail and the boot floor, so the only way to fix it properly is brace the whole area with thicker metal and fabricate a new heavy duty mount! Plug weld through the boot floor with a connecting plate from each main chassis rail.
