New addition to the family 🖤

Stormy’s had a few subtle upgrades — mags, tints, and just quietly coming together the way I like it.

Big thank you to
@magness_tyre_service for the wheel fit
@kellantintinghenderson for the clean tints

Nothing over the top… just enjoying the process ✨

How long have you been thinking about building that RX8?

Be honest.
It’s been sitting there… plans in your head, just waiting.

There’s always a reason to hold off.
Work. Money. Time.

Next minute, it’s years gone by, and nothing’s changed.

We’ve put together a dedicated RX8 roll cage package
to make it simple. Safe. Done properly.

If it’s been on your mind…
You already know.

Give Tim a call — let’s get it moving. 🏁

Under the car, on the bench, out on-site — they don’t move unless you do.

Roll cage. Exhaust. Fabrication.

That project you keep talking about.....

Now this is a proper old girl right here. That colour, that patina, that badge sitting proud… she’s earned every scar.

Rolled into the workshop for seat belt plates to get it sorted for LVVTA cert.

No full resto. No shiny paint job.

The patina’s staying.
Faded turquoise, battle scars, surface rust — that’s character. That’s history. You don’t erase that… you preserve it.

This truck is proper old-school pride. Imported straight from the US and still turning heads.

We just make sure it’s safe, cert-ready, and back on the road where it belongs.

Got an old classic that needs cert work done right?

Keep the story. We’ll make it legal.

BMW GOT THE SERIOUS CAGE. 🏁😤
12-point roll cage — @customcagesuk kit landed straight from the UK, installed in-house.

Most run 8–10 points… this one went full 12.

More tie-ins = more strength = more safety
when things get sketchy at speed.

Built for racing.
Not for likes.
