Our Restoration Projects

Real builds, real sweat, real results. Here's what we've been wrenching on lately - from basket cases to showroom stunners.

  • Trans: T56 Magnum 6-speed
  • Finish: Hugger Orange w/ black rally stripes

Start: March 2024

Delivered: September 2025

Total Hours: ~850 shop hours

Customer drove it across BC and back - zero issues. That's what we call a successful build.

IN PROGRESS

1992 Nissan Skyline GT-R

Honestly one of the coolest projects we've had. This R32 came in pretty rough - lots of rust, tired engine. We're doing a proper restoration with some tasteful performance upgrades.

The Plan:
  • Body: Cut out all rust, metal repair
  • RB26: Fresh build, upgraded turbos
  • Color: Midnight Purple II (customer's dream)
  • Wheels: Period-correct Nismo LM GT4
  • Getrag: Full trans rebuild w/ upgraded gears

Target: Late 2026

COMPLETED - 2023

1988 BMW E30 M3 Track Build

Customer races this thing hard at Mission Raceway and up at The Ridge. We built it to take a beating and keep asking for more.

Build Highlights:
  • Heart: S54 swap from E46 M3
  • Trans: ZF 6-speed manual
  • Safety: Custom chromoly cage
  • Wheels: 17" forged race wheels
  • Data: Full AiM data logging setup
  • Fuel: Surge tank, dual pump system
Results:

This thing absolutely rips. Customer's been running it for two seasons now with minimal issues - just regular maintenance stuff.

Best Lap (Mission): 1:38.4

Dyno: 318whp / 238wtq
