25.01.2022 We finished off polishing the grill for the Riley RMC and fitted the intake manifold, oil filter and lines also.

25.01.2022 The stunning Bristol 407 has come in for a little tidy up, tune up & have some oil leaks addressed. Such a cool unique car, factory fitted with Chrysler 313.c.i v8 engine and push button Torque-flight transmission.

24.01.2022 We are very privileged to drive a young bride to be on her very special day in this Bristol 403 today.

24.01.2022 The Bristol 407 is back in the workshop and having some TLC to its brakes & suspension.

22.01.2022 A few before and after photos of the E types gearbox receiving a clean up service and new gaskets.

22.01.2022 We managed to get the head off the Riley 9 this week, and started the clean up of rocker covers and intake manifold.

21.01.2022 A few shot of the XK falcon, something very different from the normal for us but it sure is turning into one cool ride.

20.01.2022 The engine for the XK falcon is ready to be married up with the transmission again then fitted back into the car. This car is a bit different from our normal jobs but its sure is one sweet ride.

20.01.2022 A couple of before and after shots of the xk distributor. The last piece of the puzzle for the falcon engine.

20.01.2022 The exhaust on the Frazer Nash is back on the car after being ceramic coated in white by Steve @ Eastcoast Performance Coatings. It looks and sounds great!

19.01.2022 We have the privilege of working on this beautiful Bristol 403. The car came in with a brake issue which turned out to be the brake booster. But we have added our touch and cleaned up a few other items that were in need of attention

18.01.2022 Our amazing Ricky went back to his machinist roots today and put our new milling machine to the test! He machined the mounting surfaces on a warped intake manifold - check it out!

17.01.2022 We were lucky to have a few cars and guests from the Bristol owners club come over and admire our work today. The Bristol club are staying in Noosa for a week long rally, and it was a pleasure to have them come past the workshop.

17.01.2022 Our amazing panel beater/ spray painter has done it again and finished this 1962 dodge to such a high standard. We love the owners choice of colour as well. Cant wait to see this car with all its trimmings on.

16.01.2022 The engine fan from the Bristol received a freshen up

16.01.2022 Not car related. Just showing off the quality of our in house polishing.

15.01.2022 The Master craftsman is @ it again hand forming alloy side steps from scratch on the Riley 9 To fill the void on the running boards. Awesome work Ricky!!!

15.01.2022 Finished off the rear brakes on the Frazer Nash today, and we were really happy with the final outcome. The drum brake outshines the body work.

12.01.2022 Before and After photo of the Bristol 407 engine bay, after we gave it a Birthday this week.

11.01.2022 We have another car in the workshop. This 57 Daimler has come in to have a few electrical issues fixed and a overall tidy up. First thing removed the rear bumper bar and send off to A CLASS METAL FINISHING.

11.01.2022 Before and after shot of the Frazer Nashs front hard brake line, this line connects the two front wheel cylinders behind the baking plate and is highly visible. A polish of the brass fittings and remake of the steal line highlights our attention to detail.

09.01.2022 We got the Bristol back on it feet last week after a huge birthday. We rebuilt the brake booster & master cylinder, had the rear shoes relined and skimmed all drums before painting them, replaced the Chinese thermo fan with a spal and rewired it correctly, replaced all fuel lines and removed the fuel pump and serviced it before refitting with new gaskets as well as replacing all engine gaskets, replaced all battery cables , rebuilt the triple carburettors, flushed and pres...sure tested radiator and replaced radiator hoses and thermostat. Repaired bent alloy ducting for radiator. And last but not least serviced distributor advance weights and replaced points condenser and plugs. After all of that we took it for its first real test drive with it running 100% and noticed the clutch was on its last legs so it back in Brooklands getting a new clutch & flywheel machine. See more

05.01.2022 The Frazer Nash is ready to go out the door. After spending a total of 490 team hours over the last 5 weeks it was taken for its first and only test drive only hours ago, and boy did it make us smile. It is truly a thing of beauty and it has been pleasurable to work on even if it did fight back right to the last minute. We look forward to seeing the owners joy when behind the wheel.
