Welcome to the forum.

I love the look of your Patrol - obviously a lot of care went into the build.

What other work does your custom shop do?
Thanks Stefan,

The custom shop was started as an in-house way of maintaining and managing my cars (of which I have some 22). Since then has kind of exploded into a full custom shop with:
Body Shop
Trim Shop
Service and Maintenance and Auto Electrical Workshop
Custom Fabrication Shop
Its all based on my wine farm in Agter Paarl.
We do most stuff in-house, but where we have specialist engineering and tuning work we outsource that to a few providers. It gives us the most control over the work we can deliver.

Most of the business is based around long term restorations and customisations where we do or manage a complete build. By way of example we are just finishing a complete body off restoration of a BMW 333i, another project is a complete body off customisation of a Toyota FJ45 Cruiser with a 1uz-fe motor swap... etc etc etc. We have a few clients that prefer that we do all their maintenance, so we do servicing and general maintenance as well, and in-between our longer term projects.

Cheers
Nick
