How good does that red look! 🔴✨

A bit of love for this Monterey, bringing the shine back and making that red pop again. Check out the difference as we work our way along the hull! 👀🚤

We do more than cars here at Darfield Collision Centre. Got a boat looking a little tired? Flick us a message and let’s see what we can do.

🕺 Throwback Friday – Darfield Collision Centre, 1985-ish! 🚗💨
What if Darfield Collision Centre had been around in the 1980s? 😎
We thought we’d have a bit of fun and give ourselves the full 1980s treatment — big hair, questionable fashion, acid-wash jeans, flashy jackets and, of course, a few classic cars in the workshop! 😂
Back when: 📻 The radio was playing cassette tapes
🚗 Cars were repaired with plenty of skill, sweat and probably a lot more bog!
🎨 Paint was matched by hand
📞 The phone definitely wasn't in your pocket
👖 And apparently this was considered fashionable!
While the technology, equipment and repair methods have changed a lot since then, one thing hasn't:
We still love fixing cars and making them look their best. 🔧🎨🚘
How many of you remember the good old days of the 80s? What was the first car you owned? 👇

🚗📰 A little trip back to 1984!

While working on a Holden HQ ute/1-tonner, we uncovered a pretty cool piece of automotive history tucked away inside — an old copy of The Press from July 1984! 😍

And what a time capsule it is…

🏎️ A Porsche 924 was being raffled — first prize valued at a whopping $52,100!
🚗 There’s a full feature on the Holden Camira, proudly showcasing its “innovative engineering”, “silky smooth 5-speed” and “powerful protection”. The Camira 2.0 was advertised at $17,990, with the Camira 1.8 at $17,250.

It’s pretty cool seeing what cars were advertised as the latest and greatest back then — especially when you’re working on a vehicle from the same era. 😍

40+ years later, and this HQ is getting some love in the workshop!

We love finding little pieces of automotive history like this. 🛠️❤️
