Well we cannot believe we’re posting this but after 6.5 years on and off… it’s finally done.

This Brazilian Kombi came to us de-registered, tired, and a long way from roadworthy. What followed wasn’t just a job it was a journey.

There were challenges at every turn, moments we questioned it, and a whole lot of patience required to see it through. Definitely not your quick turnaround kind of build 😅

But we stuck with it…

And now, it has passed compliance and is officially back on the road 🙌

From de-registered to fully restored, this is one we’re seriously proud of. A true transformation and a real head turner!

Another happy customer! We really appreciate those that take the time to leave us a review.

Thank you Guillem, you were a pleasure to assist with getting your camper back on the road ready for more adventures! ☺️

There’s something pretty special about bringing an old, tired-looking vehicle back to life ✨

What most people see as faded paint, dents, and wear… we see potential. Every job is a chance to restore not just a car, but the pride someone feels driving it again.

Whether it’s a daily run-around that’s seen better days or a well-loved vehicle that just needs some care, we love being part of that transformation.

Quality repairs are about doing the job properly, no shortcuts. Seamless repairs are always our goal.

Thank you Larry for the review and for recognizing the workmanship that goes into what we do, we really appreciate your feedback! ☺️

Stanmore Bay Flooding Community Meeting

Like many of you, we live and work right here in this community. We know that the flooding events in 2023 affected a lot of local families, homes, and businesses including some of our own customers. We ourselves were badly affected as many of you will know.

A community meeting has been organised to bring everyone together: to share what happened, continues to happen, talk through concerns, and most importantly, look at what support and next steps might be needed going forward for future weather events.

📍 Where: Hibiscus Coast Boating Club
📅 When: Thursday 19th February
⏰ Time: 6:30pm

This meeting isn’t about blame it’s about connection, support, and making a plan as a community. If you’ve been affected, or even if you just want to understand what’s going on and how you can help, you’re very welcome to attend.

Please feel free to share this, we appreciate your support.

This one definitely drew a bit of attention while it was in the workshop.

We cut and welded replacement scuttle panel and freshened up a few other areas. It’s all ready for cruising now.

Proper metal work on a proper classic.

Following on from our last post, we understand times are really tough right now, and that unexpected vehicle repairs can feel like the tipping point.

To help ease that pressure, Peninsula Rust & Panel Repairs offers Afterpay in-store, so you don’t have to pay the full amount all at once.

If payment may be an issue, please talk to us before booking repairs so we can discuss options and make a plan together. This helps avoid stress for everyone involved.

Afterpay allows you to split the cost into 4 interest-free payments, paid fortnightly, subject to approval and limits.

Afterpay late fees, eligibility criteria and terms & conditions apply. Visit afterpay.com for full terms.

We want to take a moment to share this openly and honestly as it's becoming a harsh reality for so many right now.

As a small, family-run local business, we have always done our best to support our community whether that’s helping people through unexpected repairs, being flexible where we can, or working hard to get vehicles back on the road as quickly as possible.

Lately, we’ve found ourselves in a difficult position where completed repairs are being delayed due to payment not being available at collection. We truly understand that times are tough for many right now, we’re feeling it too.

We always provide an estimate of costs before booking / commencing repairs in order to keep things clear and straightforward and to avoid stress and uncertainty around costs involved with repairs. Which makes this even harder for us to have to share.

Unfortunately, slow or non-payment has begun to seriously impact our ability to pay staff, cover materials, and keep the workshop running smoothly. That’s not a position we want to be in.

For this reason, we’re having to be clearer around our payment terms going forward. This isn’t about a lack of care it’s about ensuring we can continue to be here, supporting our customers and our community long-term.

We appreciate your understanding, kindness, and continued support.
Thank you for backing a local business.

We’re also starting the year off with some really lovely feedback from a customer who found themselves in a tough situation over the holidays. We were so happy to be able to help him get back on the road so his holiday could go ahead as planned. Always happy to help where we can and really appreciate our customers taking time to share their experiences ☺️

We’re straight back into it with the classics. This 1961 Holden Special needed a little TLC in time for the Kumeu show this weekend. You may just see it there if you’re heading along.
