We have finally moved units, so now we have even more space and equipment for restoring Vw's!

We have our new universal bench jig which enables to build full chassis and repair damaged vehicles.

Image

We also have had a new spray booth installed which is extra high so we can fit in high top vehicles.

Image

Plus a larger powder coating booth and a acid dip tank.

Hi Will
I enjoyed reading through this thread. There's some nice work going on. I would certainly be a customer if we lived closer.

Stage two of the 59!

Bulkhead replacement.

Someone had cut the centre section away so a full replacement cut was found and installed.

Image

New and old

Image

Image

Image

The replacement section however was cut short at the sides, so we remade the end sections

Image

The passenger seat base also had been put in badly so it was removed and a new base installed.

Image

With everything welded up in the booth she went.

Image

New paint blended in
