I ended up scoring bits a pieces for my workshop over the years. Couple of the best buys was Tyre Fitter & Balance machine and a decent (Mig/Tig) Welder. you can make do with Jacks, Ramps and Budget Equipment from Supercheap Auto, but being able to walk under the car and chop and change tyres on the fly definitely saves time and Money.

Full-Resto: takes time to complete but it is worth the wait and expense to have your vehicle better than the industry standard and also piece of mine for your family and your own well being when operating your vehicle. Placing the vehicle onto a rotisserie is simply the best option as it allows correct and easy access to the hard to reach areas that do corrode on a vehicle. this type of restoration is not for the light hearted or Wallet!
Rolling: of course is the cheaper option and is recommended. This process is a great way to take a vehicle back to its original factory condition.
MEDIA BLASTING
Panels, stripped and taken back to steel before epoxy primer to ensure rust does not reform on the vehicle or substrate.
PANEL (FABRICATION, WELDING & SHAPING)
Welding and Panel (Beating and/or Replacement) are the nuts and bolts to restoring a vehicle.
PAINT (RE-FINISHING)
Whether it’s the standard Base Coat to Candy re-finish. Pushing the boundaries and give vehicles something new and exciting it what it’s all about.
Electro Plate & Powder-Coating
Got old parts that need a new lease on life? We can have parts acid dipped & chrome plated.
Powder-coating
CAR DETAILING
Never go pass Detailing! Sometime tired paint only needs compounding and buff to bring out the original shine.
