This Jag is evidence "kit cars" have nothing to prove! Owner built back in the early 2000s, we did some work over the winter so he can enjoy it more than ever
▫️ Fixed a hard/no start issue that several shops couldn't find or fix
▫️ Replaced the scratched plastic windscreens with new glass
▫️ Resolved a driveline vibration
▫️ Improved rear ride comfort and travel
▫️ Wheels & tire upgrade to better suit the car
▫️ Fixed doors that weren't latching and staying closed

Very happy to give this customer their cottage cruiser back!

The first car to be picked up from the new shop, Aamir's Imapala! Had it back for the annual service, and added a Sun-style tach. Off to cruise with his family for the summer again.

A front and rear bench seat pair for an 89 Crew Cab squarebody redone in house by Adrian. Door panels restored and custom inserts made, and new carpet - stay tuned to see those.

Peter's Grand National came in for paint and turned into an exterior restoration once we uncovered some sins of a life well lived. Now it looks better than when it left the showroom in 1985!

All dressed up. This small block will be right at home in its hot rod soon enough.

Pedro's Firebird has been an ongoing project for a few years, snapped these last time it was in. Exterior restoration with the addition of 400 hood and grille, finished in a custom blue metallic based - you can see the flip in the light and shadow. The spoiler is a carbon fiber piece.

This beauty handles and stops great, thanks to:
4-link and coilovers
all around and master cylinder
Rambler wheels

Not shown is the overdrive swap (200-4R) with Shiftworks conversion gate, interior updates featuring a Flaming River column, Dakota Digital gauges, and LED lights all around for better visibility.

This Firebird is everything a driven car should be! He often cruises it from Toronto to Niagara, and is racking up the miles.

These 71-73 Chargers don't get much love, but fortunately is one of the few who do. New wheel tubs, quarters, and trunk drops to refresh the back of this '71.
