About Us

With a burning passion for automobiles and the desire to build a meaningful connection with each and every client on their automotive journey,  we are a team of highly skilled craftsmen that specialise in Automotive Restorations, Traditional Coach Building and Accident Repairs  for Classic, Vintage & Veteran vehicles.

Automotive metal-work has been our life long passion and it tends to consume every waking minute of our minds.

We have spent many years studying and mastering the techniques from Italian, German and American auto body coach builders in order to restore, design and create stunning works of art. We are continually developing the traditional metal shaping skills passed down to us from masters of the industry to be passed onto future generations.

We use highly thought-out processes, developed in house, to document, assess and revive your car to the highest standard we are capable of.
We are here to breathe new life into your classic car and share the journey with you.

Mission

We are on a mission to revive the art of automotive restoration and traditional coach building, by providing classic car enthusiasts with the opportunity to restore their beloved cars from a perished and withered state, back to 'driving off the showroom floor' condition.

History

After thirteen years in the restoration industry, securing Cert III apprenticeship certificates at the authorised Ferrari dealership repair facility, taking out the coveted MTAQ Apprentice of the Year & 'World Skills' QLD competition awards, and completing multiple large scale restorations including one of the most extensive Lancia Flaminia restorations worldwide.

Adam's journey began in 2007 working on race cars, he then moved onto small hand crafted projects in 2008, fabricating guards for a 1934 Chevrolet Maple Leaf out of raw steel. From there, the first full scale project started in 2009 - an all steel body, completely re-design and re-engineered 1965 Honda S600 coupe - with custom hand formed wheel flares, front lip and cam-tail.

Slowly but surely the business grew and he was commissioned to restore a 1957 Studebaker Hawk in 2013, fabricate the bonnet for a 1936 Bentley Special in 2014, followed by several ground up restorations of Lancia Flaminia GT's, ranging from 1959 - 65 in 2016.
Luke joined the team in 2017 bringing with him the skills to expand the business into composites, mechanical, paintwork and more.
