We're Not In Kansas Anymore...

It's not often you see a Wizzard Roadster these days. The owners have had this for nearly 20 years and have taken the last 10 years restoring it. We were given the task of putting the finising touches in terms of fitting it back up and trimming it.The interior features hand fitted bucket seats in Burgundy Brookland UK Hide plus matching rear rear seat & door panels, with hand fitted carpets in grey square weave through out.

Phil Slade’s Turbo Bug

Here’s Phil Slade’s New Beetle that we’ve recently worked on. We have remodelled Golf Mk4 Recaros for the front and the standard rear seat in raspberry PVC. We have also trimmed and smoothed out the front and rear door panel inserts to match, with old school Beetle type map pockets and custom made rear speaker grills to compliment the raspberry vinyl. Other touches include matching armrest, gearshift gator, front grab handle and seat belt buckle covers. Phil has done some great detailing through out the car including carbon fibre skinning many of the plastic seat and dash parts.

From The Archive Pt 5

This was Louis' VW Caddy Mini Truck that we built during the spring of 1994. Some trick features included shaved door handles, smoothed out rear end with custom rear lights, one piece windows and BMW 3 series electric wing mirrors. It went on to win Best Watercooled at Bug Jam, the same year, and was featured in Street Machine & Super VW a year later.

AC Cobra



This was delivered to us as a rolling bare shell and was a build up with many parts being hand formed from aluminium sheet and marine ply. It was trimmed in Magnolia leather with navy blue piping. The carpet was navy blue Wilton. The seats were fibreglass shells that had to be hand fitted.
