🏆 THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! 🏆

And apparently you’ve all got bloody good taste! 😎

A massive congratulations to Lee Gilder, whose badass ’62 Chevy Bel Air has taken out FIRST PLACE in our SHOW US YOUR SHED competition! 🥇🔥

Underneath that rough-and-ready exterior is some serious business — a big cube SBC, TH400 and 9-inch rear, with the underside and engine bay all tidied up.

The outside? Left with all its character, scars and attitude. Just the way we like it! 🤘

And we have to admit, Cory’s pretty bloody happy with the result too… this one was his favourite from the start! 😂

A HUGE thank you to everyone who entered, voted, shared and got behind this competition. We’ve absolutely loved seeing the incredible machines tucked away in your sheds and the stories behind them. It’s bloody awesome to see so much passion for keeping these old girls alive.

And of course, a massive shoutout to our legends at .nz and all our sponsors for helping us put together some epic prizes! 🙌

🍻 Here’s to old steel, big horsepower and keeping the classics alive!

Things were getting serious on the Es**rt at this stage 🔥
With the metalwork behind us, the underside was finished off in Roberlo texture coat, while the doors, boot and bonnet hit the booth for base coat and clear.
All that prep finally starting to pay off — fresh paint going down and the Es**rt beginning to look like a car again 👌🏼

Famous. Last. Words.

We’ve all said it!

How far did your “I’m just going to tidy up_____” escalate???

Not everything needs to be serious 😂

We work bloody hard around here, but if you can’t take the p**s, have a laugh and enjoy the people you spend half your life with… what’s the point?

Apparently even cleaning the booth can’t be done without someone turning it into inappropriate content. 🙄😂

Life’s short. Have a fu***ng laugh.

FIRST PRIZE IS SORTED 🔥

And bloody hell… came to play.

We’ve got an epic Würth prize pack up for grabs, loaded with the good stuff, plus a stack of Real Steel merch to go with it. 👊

Würth have been bloody good to us and are a brand we genuinely use in the workshop on the daily, so having them jump on board with SHOW US YOUR SHED is pretty damn cool.

Got a project hiding in your shed?

SHOW US YOUR SHED. SHOW US YOUR PROJECT. 👀

Drop your project in the comments on our competition post and tell us what you’re building.

And give Würth some love while you’re there — absolute legends for getting behind it. 🤘
