25.01.2022 Mixed emotions today, after being in the family for over 20 years, time has come to depart with our 76 LT111 shes served us well and our customers, from pulling broken doubles from Scottsdale to Strahan and spuds in between, her new home will see it restored once again in red and green livery...

24.01.2022 Onsite early this morning for an engine ecu change out, some of these can cause sudden engine shutdown whilst driving, anywhere anytime. Contact us to check if your truck has latest software update..

24.01.2022 Broke my whipper snipper cutting my way into this old rig to get some pics for a Englishman in England looking for parts for an LB80 restoration! This has come from the recent Truck we done for Hingston Transport, seems snoopy has gone viral...

23.01.2022 Trip to Hobart this week to prepare this R620 for its upcoming boat ride to Malbourne for repairs and resale, driver was unharmed firstly and credit to the Scania truck for its driver safety, sadly truck was only couple months old and just 50 thousand klms on it, special thanks to Sam downie at Greenwich for float services...

21.01.2022 Any Scania, anytime and anywhere

21.01.2022 Facebook has been pestering me for some time to keep everyone updated with whats been going on so here are few snaps taken over the past few months. Were most thankful for our loyal customers over months since Christmas, it has been a difficult time with the main man having a cancer scare, the old man has shown amazing resilience and a get on with it attitude. He has only couple weeks to go till he can join me back on the road swinging spanners and talking non-stop Scanias.... Weve got a mountain of work to do ahead of us and please dont hold off thinking were too busy, if and when we can well fit you in or bust our guts trying to work out a plan that suits us both. If anyone knows of a panel beater who is semi retired or wants some casual work please drop us a line, we have up to 2-3 months work for the right person, all work based at our workshop in prospect, enquire within Cheers Jimbob

19.01.2022 Today 37 years ago we lost a great man..... Garth Heywood R.I.P. my friend.

19.01.2022 With the silly season well under way for us, were endeavouring to satisfy all of our customers needs, however with multiple major engine failures, gearboxs, restoration, and so on were working our butts off trying to get to everyone before Christmas but we cant all be supermen and have to let a couple slip thru the fingers, we really appreciate the time were given to allow us to do our best work for our clients...

18.01.2022 We wish to thank all applicants whom applied for the position and those who shared our job post, we had over 1100 people view the position! With an extra pair of hands were hoping to catch up on some lost time... Cheers James

16.01.2022 Cant get better than this...

15.01.2022 Another ds11 rebuild done, this one had crank grind, tunnel bored and freshen up, best way to make these old girls last is the following, Check oil and do regular oil changes, no shell be right bro Always use coolant, not high quality rain water Clean the spinner and replace orings... Dont forget to do the valve clearances.. If your unsure about any of these, get in contact with us and we can supply information, advise, supply and help with all the above

14.01.2022 Our latest addition to our fleet! We bought this 1976 Scania lt 111 and we plan on restoring it to its former glory. Stay tuned for more updates of its journey!
