🔥 1958 Dodge Fargo 🔥

This stunning ’58 Dodge Fargo came to us from Yea after the owner had spent time chasing the right shop to help finish the vision properly, until he found the team at WD Restorations.

Already restored and running Isuzu gear with a more modern V6 setup for reliability, this build had the perfect mix of classic character and practical drivability. It just needed the right finishing touches to bring everything together.

✔ Electric window conversion
✔ Original-style mirrors reinstated
✔ Custom brackets fabricated & painted
✔ Interior trim refinished and reapplied
✔ Multiple detail refinements throughout the build

And the colour… 👌
A vibrant orange laid with fine yellow and green pearl that absolutely comes alive in the light. The kind of finish that stops people in their tracks.

This Fargo is a perfect example of blending heritage styling with modern usability, built to be enjoyed, driven, and remembered.

Mercedes‑Benz Perfection, Redefined.

This stunning Mercedes 280SL came to us in need of some love and affection. Our passion is bringing classics back to life, and every curve, chrome line, and rev of its inline‑six reminds us why we do what we do.

We treated this classic with a comprehensive paint correction process worthy of its three‑pointed star, restoring deep gloss, clarity, and that unmistakable showroom presence.

If you own prestige classic feel right at home where every car is treated like a legend then contact us today.

👨‍👧‍👦 A Grandfather’s Legacy - More Than a Valiant 🚗

Introducing our latest muscle car restoration project!! Checkout the before photos below.

We know cars carry legacies, and this one is best told through the eyes of a 10-year-old granddaughter, a memory that has stayed with her for more than 30 years and still feels just as vivid today.

I still remember my Nannu pulling up outside primary school in his army green Valiant. You could hear it before you saw it. That deep, stubborn rumble would echo through the school gates, turning heads long before the car rolled into view.

My sister and I would climb into the back, shuffling sideways across the bench seat to make room, snapping the old seatbelts into place with that familiar click-clack. The seats were covered in soft lambswool covers, though underneath, the original upholstery somehow still looked untouched by time.

As kids, we’d stare up at the roof lining, covered in tiny, embossed patterns we swore looked like little bandaids scattered across the ceiling.

Then came the part we both dreaded and secretly loved at the same time, Nannu starting the engine. It wasn’t quiet or refined. The whole car seemed to wake up with a growl. We’d sink low into our seats in embarrassment… but deep down, we were proud. Everybody noticed when Nannu arrived in the Valiant.

He drove it like a ship. Big, wide, steady turns with one relaxed hand resting on the wheel as the old tank floated through the streets. Most afternoons ended at the local plaza, where he’d spoil us with snacks before dinner while he caught up with his Maltese mates.

And hanging from the rear-view mirror every single trip was that little Santa with the pipe-cleaner body, swinging side to side as though he was there to keep an eye on us kids in the back and make sure we behaved while Nannu drove.

Funny how a car can hold so much more than metal and memories. For our family, that Valiant carried laughter, childhood, and moments that still feel alive 30 years later.
