23.01.2022 Been busy over the last week prepping my race car for paint, a couple of coats of fleet 2 pack on the inside and now onto the rest.

21.01.2022 This is the next project on the go. Maxs 56 F100. Full floater 9 inch, T350/350 chev. Going from this to this. Stay tuned.

21.01.2022 77 Chrysler Lancer in undercoat, ready for some colour.

20.01.2022 This is the cool vehicle I built that nice 308 for, high quality build, its going to be one cool towie.

20.01.2022 So another day and another bullbar, this one is an Ironman protector, I also fitted a Dominator 12000lb winch with wireless remote, and a light bar. I modified the bar to accept the parking sensors. It has turned out terrific.

19.01.2022 Ironman protector bullbar fitted today. Looks great on this new Ford Ranger.

19.01.2022 Ive had Trevs beautiful XP coupe for a while now, my job was to repaint and refresh the engine bay to get it back to looking original, also relocate the brake booster under the guard to get a neater bay, also an engine rebuild. However upon dismantling the engine it was found to be worn beyond financial salvage, so another was found and then rebuilt. Rare spares had all the original clips and rubbers I needed. Lionel West made a mandrel bent 2 inch exhaust with relocated sport muffler. I got to test drive it for a couple of days to run in the engine, it is so nice to drive with zero rattles or squeaks, its amazing for a 60+ year old car.

17.01.2022 Progress over the last couple of weeks, got some colour on it last night, still some pieces to paint and some funky graphics to go on next week!

17.01.2022 Working on this classy lady, engine freshen up and engine bay repaint and tidy up. Stay tuned for progress shots.

17.01.2022 Its been a while since I posted about this F100, Ive been getting onto it as I could. The chassis was covered in overspray and bog dust so it was stripped repainted and needed strengthening added to comply with current regs. 1/2 inch fuel line to keep the twin blower holleys fed. Trans cooler under the tray bed which will have twin thermos to cool it. I used a blower shop throttle linkage which works very well. Next step is to put the cab and body panels on and see where e...verything is sitting. Till next time See more

17.01.2022 New MQ Mitsubishi Triton I did the other day, fitted an Ironman Deluxe Commercial bullbar and 12000lb rope winch all done under $2000! Ask me for a price on supplying and or fitting your 4WD accessories. All mechanical repairs and log book servicing also available.

16.01.2022 Been doing this project for a mate, basically Ive just done all the assembly. Its got some cool bits like the Holley Sniper fuel injection setup, fully programable and self tunes! COME Racing inlet manifold. Electric water pump and its also getting electric power steering too. Going into an 80s Holden.... More pics of installation soon. See more

15.01.2022 Further progress, got the car polished and mostly back together, decals are on thanks to Stick This Automotive decals for reproducing the originals for me. Still got to fit the rechromed bumpers and refit the grille etc. Service and new tyres also.

14.01.2022 Another MQ Triton bullbar done today.

12.01.2022 Four Ironman snorkels fitted in one day last week with help from the owners thankfully. 14 hours work squeezed down to 7! And they look great. Call or message for a price on yours now

12.01.2022 I've had the pleasure of doing some work on this very tidy Trans Am in the last month or so. The goal was to get some attitude into the idle and get as much torque as budgets allowed. The cam was reground, the heads were reconditioned and the distributor was regraphed by distributor legend Will Farnell who eeked an extra 10 degrees of advance into it, and because the engine has only 7.7 comp it needs all the help it can get. It still needs the carby rejetted but once that's done it'll perform much better.

12.01.2022 Did some paint rectification on this Mitsubishi Legnum the other week, had bad swirls in the bonnet, and the paint was in general unloved condition. Used a mixture of Meguires and Bowdens products to bring the shine back. Also restored the headlight and fog light lenses.

11.01.2022 New hoist is in and ready! Servicing, repairs, restoration and minor smash repairs, 4WD accessory sales and fitment all at good prices, please share and get the word out

09.01.2022 New Mitsubishi Triton with a colour coded Ironman Deluxe Commercial bullbar. Colour coded the undertrays and bolts and it looks awesome. Give me a call or msg to quote your bullbar or accessory.

09.01.2022 Short video of the first body fit up to see where everything is sitting.

09.01.2022 I had the pleasure this week sorting out the suspension on this beauty. Replaced the nearly fifty year old springs, new shockers and bushes to get it sitting and handling right again. A lovely car

09.01.2022 Finally finished the Chrysler, was a relatively quick tidy up, about 25 hours in it including a service and tyres. Redone in 2pac, about 5 coats of colour and 3 of clear. A few small dust spots but overall pretty happy. Stay tuned for the next classic job.

07.01.2022 Thanks heaps to Paul at Amped up Welding for staying behind tonight to make up a special tool for me tomorrow. Top bloke!

07.01.2022 Something a bit different today, an alloy ECB bullbar on a late model Ford Territory, had hit Roos twice recently so customer wanted a little extra protection. Looks good

07.01.2022 Did some engine work on this lovely old girl. 90k miles only. Such a nice car.

06.01.2022 This is the next project on the go. Max’s 56 F100. Full floater 9 inch, T350/350 chev. Going from this to this. Stay tuned.

05.01.2022 Something different at the moment, a full restoration of this super rare 1956 Country Club caravan. Luckily the chassis and interior are in good nick considering it was a chook shed for a dozen years, but it needs everything either replaced, remade or refurbished. Stay tuned for updates as we go.

04.01.2022 Door jambs and bonnet and boot jambs done, the rest on the weekend.

04.01.2022 First trial fit of the body panels in 10-15 years, seeing what issues were going to have.

03.01.2022 Finished the engine for Trevs XP, well almost, just need to make new fuel line and vac advance line. Colour was a bit hard to find but got there in the end. Engine bay will be blasted next week then painted and all put back together. After and before shots.
