Was awesome to receive this in the mail today. Really appreciate the kind note and certificate.
It brought back some great memories, as I remember competing in Awakeri Top School event many, many moons ago. It's pretty special to still be involved and recognised all these years later.
A big thank you to everyone involved – it's truly appreciated. 😊

After this customer's Holden ute had a run-in with a fence a few months ago, it was time to bring it back to life.
With a few new parts fitted and plenty of panel work completed, it was finished off in a very bright Diablo Red with satin black trims to set it off nicely.
Once it's all back together and sitting on its black rims, this ute is going to looks amazing
Another happy customer one step closer to being back on the road and turning heads wherever it goes.

Had another Cruiser in today for a few touch-ups to get it through its WOF.
This one’s packing a hearty V6 Commodore motor and exhaust setup to go with it. Sounds as good as it looks, and with that extra grunt, I reckon it would be an absolute weapon in the mud! 😎
Always good to see these old Cruisers still getting the love they deserve and staying on the road where they belong.

When this customer’s car 🚗 came in after being in the wrong place at the wrong time in a supermarket carpark, we were straight into repairing both rear QTR panels.
Once all the hard work was done, it was off to the boyz at Whittaker Car Painters for a mint 3-layer pearl finish to top it all off
Another one looking slick and back on the road again.

With the new roof welded on and all the rust repairs & dents sorted around this Cruiser, it was time for the next stage — off to the boys & girls at BROWNE & SMALE Panel n paint in Opotiki for the finishing touches & a fresh lick of paint ☺️
This owner is one happy customer and can almost see their pride & joy back on the road again where it belongs

This camper came out amazing — a mint way to finish the week before the long weekend 👌
After a full strip-down, dents repaired, and rust sorted, it was off to Mike & the boyz at Retro Custom Caravans for the finishing touches. A slick coat of white with all the trims finished in black really made this one stand out 🔥
Enjoy your long weekend everyone, and we’ll see you all again Tuesday.
Stay safe out there on our EBOP roads

Had a mate come in from my old Blackshift days at the Whakatane Boardmills with his damaged Harley-Davidson motorcycle tank.
Being an ex-panelbeater himself, after we pulled the dents out with the electronic dent puller, we were able to file the repairs back nice and straight — flat as the cupboards on the machine aye Pete .
Old-school skills still getting it done.
Then Pete rolled his sleeves up and helped me out on a few cars for the rest of the day.
Thanks mate, really appreciated the extra set of hands 🍻

New toy for the shop 😁
A solid air-powered pulling dozer ready to tackle frontals, rears, pillars — whatever needs a good tug 💪
Always good adding another weapon to the workshop arsenal. Can’t wait to put this beast to work & see what it can really do
