Thomson Rust & Repair services

⚡️We are hiring⚡️

We are looking for someone to expand and grow our ever-growing panel beating company.

We work on a wide range of vehicles including but not limited to classic cars and modern classics. While we specialise in rust work, we have a variety of jobs come through the doors, so there is always something different to keep things interesting.

Our core business is rust repairs including: WoF repairs, repair certification work, restoration work and rust prevention. However, we also repair crashed motorsport vehicles and insurance jobs. We have also been known to do custom work including fit body kits, fabricate tunnels and fire walls for motor conversions and build roll cages and other motorsport body fabrication.

Ideally we would like someone who has experience with sheet metal fabrication experience and rust repair experience.

Panel beating qualifications are preferred but not necessary if you are keen to learn more and have a great work ethic an willing to go through an apprenticeship.

We do the odd American and Australian car but mostly do Japanese vehicles as that is what we have been known to do.

Feel free to contact us via Facebook or email

Always good when you get to get off the rust repairs and into the more custom side of things. Here is a Mazda 1300 that is getting a rotary swap and needs the tunnel and fire wall modified to fit the bigger gearbox and clear the clutch and starter motor without looking too out of place. We think it turned out pretty good.

The top gear boys once said you're not a car guy until you have owned an Alfa Romeo but it's fair to say we got well accompanied with this little Alfa as we had to remove most the interior and make a couple of body parts for it. Fair to say it turned out well and had one very happy customer before Christmas.

Got NFG back in the other week to finish the last of our bits off, made lower rear guards and blanked of the old trailer plug wiring and exhaust exit hole, turned out pretty good.

Always good to have another GTR in the shop last week another on the list of GTRs we have worked on. This one needed a hole blanked off in the fire wall and a nice plate made on the side of the tunnel to make way for the new sequential 👌
