Whether you want a re-spray on your daily driver or a full body off show condition restoration, the same amount of time and care is taken to make sure you are getting the best value money can buy.

Most full restorations will be done with the body off, this gives full access to the chassis and all areas so we are able to get rid of any rot hiding where you normally wouldn't see it, eating away at your vehicle from the inside out. This also makes it possible to replace panels the way Volkswagen did it at the factory to keep your car looking as stock as possible and replace the body to pan seal which has usually seen better days after 30 or so years on the road.

All rust is either sand blasted back to bare metal or cut out and new panels welded in, always using genuine panels where available.


Full restoration of the mechanicals can also be undertaken.

For example the chassis can either be restored to stock condition for a daily driver, powder coated for a harder wearing finish or for custom looks, or given the full custom detailing job for the show car or beach buggy where the pan may be on show. This also counts for front beams, suspension components, brakes etc.

Brakes can either be serviced and rebuilt, fitted with after market front and rear disc brake conversions, or upgraded to Porsche discs and callipers.


Anything can be done just phone to discus your requirements.

For air-cooled race engined we have contacts in America that can supply turn key engines to your spec, or tell us what you want to get out of your car and we will get a suitable engine built up for you. These engines can come fully dyno'd and run in with a print out of the power. Fully guaranteed.

For something not so crazy we can either get your engine rebuilt or supply a Vege engine, fitted with either your original tin ware or brand new tin ware painted or powder coated. A full service fitted and ready to drive away.

On the other hand, for something a bit different why not go for an engine conversion ?
Engines that can be fitted are Subaru, Mazda rotary, and Porsche. Others can be fitted but these are the most common for conversions. These engines provide modern performance with the reliability of a modern car. As you will have seen my own car runs a relatively stock Subaru Impreza turbo engine and with Nitrous has a 0-60mph time of just over 3 seconds. When bought second hand, the price of these engines can be very cheap and cost effective when compared to an air cooled engine giving out the same power.

Well worth considering if you want to be that bit different.


All gearbox rebuilds are done by the sponsor of my own car Bears Motorsports.

Gearboxes are custom built to suit the engine you are going to be running. Once built they will be installed by us, and mounted in a way that suits what the car will be used for. This ranges from stock mounts, mid mounts, straps and solid mounting.

No need to worry though we will advise you as to what is best for your needs.


Call us to discuss your requirements.

We can do anything from supply and fit stock replacement shocks, gas filled adjustable's, IRS conversions, dropped spindles, narrowed beams for bugs and busses, narrowed rear ends for the pro street look, etc.

We are also a registered fitting centre for AIRKEWLD air suspension systems and other products.


All electrical work can be carried out from fitting a stereo to fitting new wiring looms. We can also modify wiring looms for use on alternative engine conversions.


Fibre glass boot builds, bass boxes, glove box fitted C.D changers, or just a simple swap of a head unit can be done.

We can either design your system for you, supply and fit the parts or you can supply you own system and tell us how you want it.


We can transform your daily driver in to a 10 second street legal drag racer.

Whether its a bus, type 3, or a Bug. We can get Roll cages and tube chassis built for us to comply with all current regs, then we build the car around that.
