Picked up Poppy yesterday as arranged and can only describe the results as top notch !!!

 

The final mop, no polish ;D has resulted in a glass like finish.

 

Mucho respect to Lewis , Paul and everyone for a pukka job.

 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!

 

JOB DONE

Replied!! :)

As those of you that have been checking on what we have been doing, you'll remember Simon Nash's clubman estate shell, it came in needing the rear quarter welding in properly, the rear doors repairing, and the doors looking at (we ended up fitting new skins and repairing the bottoms) anyway, pics from how it arrived, until present...

How it arrived..

After sand blasting

Rear doors repaired (we dont blast decals off, as it tends to warp panels if there stubborn, so we sand them off)

Its still yet to be flatted and polished, so you can imagine what its gonna be like once it is, going by the reflection on it already, its gonna be like a mirror!

For quotes and enquiries drop me a pm or give us a ring

With the estate all painted, flatted and polished, gives us more time to get one of other customers cars built up..

Its gone mental lol we got all kinds of classics comin in, few more e-types booked in, 2 jensen interceptors, a classic merc, a 1940/50ss sit up and beg type BMW, an A35, another split screen camper... And thats just the tip of the ice berg! Response to the quality of the work and the price is phenomenal! Lol people appreciate that we have a lot on, but also appreciate us trying to keep costs down for them by fitting work between priority jobs, takes longer to get the cars done, but the cost in comparison is about 35-45% cheaper than priority work :) and the work we do is always the same high quality, regardless of priority!
