LC-LJ Torana Heater Box Foam Seal Gasket Set

Restoring a LC-LJ Torana? If you are then you’ll need our Heater Box Rebuild Gasket Set for LC-LJ GMH Toranas.

This kit includes the seven (7) Heater Box foam gaskets required to rebuild and re-fit the Heater Box, including the firewall plate gasket (see pictures…

1962 Series-1 Jaguar E-Type

Today this absolutely stunning 1962 Series-1 E-Type Jaguar completes her miracle transformation, from the rusty, previously ‘munted’ shell that had been hand-balled to us four years ago to the pristine sample you see here (make sure you check out the ‘before’ photo!) Finished in Opalescent Bronze and Bright Red trim she is the 370th Right Hand Drive E-Type produced. This model has relatively few aftermarket parts available so a lot of the parts were restored back to their original condition.…

More OE Replacement Looms & Harnesses are coming!

As we continue to move forwards in our mission to make brand new, off the shelf replacement wiring looms for early Ford Falcon models, we are happy to announce a new release of sub-looms now available to purchase. These are reproduced from original wiring, built as close as possible to colour, termination and finish of the original samples. All of our terminations are crimped and soldered for durability, and while some are plug and play, most of these will require…

Bronze Wine XY GT Ford Falcon

If you haven’t been following the story of this stunning Bronze Wine GT on our Facebook page I seriously urge you to like our page and have a read, it is a restoration story that has to be seen to be believed. Delivered to us after a full body restoration and paint job by a premium workshop here in Adelaide, we quickly unearthed the horrid truth behind ‘the work’ that had been done to her. We saw ford cars in…

EH Panel Van LS Conversion

This EH Panel Van came straight from the Gosford museum, family owned from new with a genuine 69,000 miles on her. With a dream of her becoming a ‘beach cruiser’ the owner commissioned us to re-paint and rebuild her with the addition of a newer gen V8 heart. We began with some minor bodywork, fresh paint and a custom LS install which by all accounts should have been a simple fit. As with many after-market bolt-in kits we’ve used before,…

Green Velvet XP Coupe

After sitting around for the best part of 20 years from a previous accident, this Velvet Green XP Falcon Coupe was brought to us for a budget restoration so she could once again be used as a regular driver. Like most restoration projects we start, as we worked through the ‘layers of time’ we found more historical stories starting to emerge, and the toll of time exposed to the elements. With a completely rebuilt heart and a heap of new…

We Restore Parts Too!

As part of the restorations process we don’t just buy reproduction copies of everything, in fact a lot of concours rebuilds we do require genuine part numbers, stampings etc to preserve the history of the vehicle. This is of course, not limited to just stamped/dated items and things like steering wheels (which are often poorly reproduced) require that extra bit of love, detail and attention that we take very seriously. If you need a part restored, no matter what the…

‘Shed Resto’ XR Falcon Tidy Up

This crisp white XR Falcon came through the workshop for a bit of tweaking to finish off what was a very neat ‘in the shed’ restoration. It’s quite common for us to get projects like this come through the workshop, whereby the owner wants those last few details done that they possibly can’t do at home or don’t have the tools to complete. If you’ve got an ‘almost finished’ project you need the final details ticked off (final assembly/ dyno…
