Happy Friday everyone!

Now that Julys almost over I should probably get an update for June done so here it is. A good variety of vehicles & jobs through last month, a few pics of whats been going on (limited to 80 photos so cant show it all unfortunately).
We have made a heap of progress on some of our larger jobs... Scouts down paint shop end with some colours being chosen today so watch this space, Surf metal work is back underway to finish up the widebody, Vauxhall's panels are close to complete - fun times ahead sorting the fiberglass, wee Morris Traveller metal work is complete & ready for blasting & painting, Matts Cortina metal work is full steam ahead, Dans ute is nearing completion with plumbing side of things well underway & Lindsays HR is very close to being driven out of here.
Andrews R33GTR made it out the doors after repair cert work was completed, a Fairlane has entered the building with paintwork well underway (excited to reveal this one) along with a wee MG and a 280z.
The smaller jobs keep rolling through and a bit of insurance work to mix things up.
Once again Thanks to all our amazing customers for trusting us with your awesome vehicles!

Cheers
