Built,
Not Bought.
Petrol or electric. We work with what already exists, choosing projects that interest us and giving each one the time and attention it needs.
What we do
We don’t take on every car. We choose projects that interest us, take the time to understand what’s there, and decide how to make it better. Sometimes that means bringing a car back to its original form. Sometimes it means taking it somewhere entirely different.
Restoration
Bringing old cars back to life, from the body and chassis to the smallest details. We repair what can be saved and replace what can’t. No shortcuts, no hiding problems under fresh paint.
Rebuild and Improve
Keeping the character of the original while making it better to drive and live with. Engines, gearboxes, brakes, suspension and electrics. We change what needs changing and leave the rest alone.
Electric Conversion
Electric is one of the possibilities, not the default. We work with both combustion and electric drivetrains, choosing what makes sense for each car. Where possible, conversions can be made reversible, preserving the option to return to the original setup.
We choose our projects carefully. When we take one on, it gets our full attention.
From the bench
A few of the machines that have passed through our workshop over the years. Petrol and electric, two wheels and four, from Detroit to Togliatti. Different machines, different ideas, each with its own story.
How it works
Every project begins with a conversation. We take on only a few, and when we do, we want to make sure we’re working towards the same thing.
-
First, we talk
By email or at the workshop. We look at your car, or help you find one, and discuss what you have in mind. We agree on the details and the budget before ordering anything.
-
Booking a place
A €10,000 non-refundable deposit secures your project in our schedule. If we help you find a car, you buy it directly from the seller. We charge only for our work.
-
The build
When work begins, 50% of the agreed project cost is due to cover parts and materials. Some projects take a few months, while a complete rebuild can take close to a year. We’d rather take the time needed than rush the result.
-
Along the way
Every 30 days, we send you photos and an update on the progress. Ideas can change during a build, and that’s fine. We discuss any additional work, agree on the cost and invoice it before going ahead.
Three of us
Small enough that the people you talk to are the people with their hands on your car.
Kudres
Runs the day-to-day of the garage. Faster than 80% of all snakes and will turn every stone to find the right solution. Your first conversation is usually with him.
Martin
Leads the workshop and the build. Over a decade in the mechanical trade and can take a classic apart and put it back together from the floor up. Keeps every project inside the time and budget we agreed.
Joosep
Design and engineering of the parts we make ourselves. Models and simulates everything before it is built, and usually has more ideas than there are hours in the day.
Write to us. Then give it a while.
We read every message and answer every one. We're just usually under a car rather than at a desk, so the reply may take some days. It will come.
