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…
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,…
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…
This clean green ’65 came in for a freshen up, cut and polish, new exterior chrome work etc. We tickled the Air Conditioning with a quick repair/re-gas and gave the old girl a dyno tune and she’s now ready for some summer cruising!
We recently finished this piece of American Muscle Car history, this wonderful looking Firebird received a full strip, detailed bodywork, that wonderfully dark black paint and a massive mechanical overhaul with a truck-load of new parts direct from the US!
Straight from the Gosford Classic Car Museum this EH is about as honest as they get. With just 69000 original miles on her, just look how clean she is naked! Over the next few months this classic will receive a EFI V8 Conversion, 6 speed manual, A/C, Power Steering and a quick colour change.
The Rhino came in for a fresh set of mechanicals, and is ready to release back to the wild! This beautiful original South African GT spent a few months in the shop having a brand new engine (408 Stroker – whilst retaining a factory look) and running gear fitted, with a few additional touch ups and enhancements along the way
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…
Thoroughbred BOSS 302 anyone? This award winning beast has returned for a service & check after a year in captivity, so we couldn’t help getting some fresh pics of that amazing orange paint job!
We’re proud to be supporting the 2019 Falcon GT Nationals as naming rights sponsors….this means you have less than 12 months to go, so if you need any parts restored (or new parts) or any last minute work done to your GT, you better book your beast in soon!
The “SilverBeast” is on it’s way back to Victoria after spending the last 12 months here at RPR. Arriving as a rolling shell the RP Racing team once again delivered with a stroked EFI 408, custom fuel system, RPR Chassis Connectors, custom 3″ exhaust, Wilwood brakes and coil-over front end.
Not every restoration we do here at RPR is a concours build, but we always retain our high quality standards, even when your build is to a budget. This one owner 6 cyl XT Falcon needed some love (within a budget) and the owner is over the moon with the results.
“Cobra 257” (known as “the Cobra in UK”) this beast spent 10+ years in Britain before returning to our bronzen soils and placed in our care to ensure a first class restoration. Upgraded with all homologated race parts including a complete ‘race spec’ engine rebuild by RP Racing, chassis/strut bracing, correct ‘new old stock’ thermo fans etc. she made her first appearance at All Ford Day (September 2017).
This exquisite Electric Blue XY GT Ford Falcon you see here was delivered to us as a country car that needed lots of love and affection. Like all the work we do here at RPR, no bolt was left untended as we rebuilt this slice of motoring history piece by piece, with either brand new or in-house reconditioned parts, including our very own wiring harnesses. The results speak for themselves…..
