Default Restoration Services

Just wondering if there are any individuals within the local mv community that would perhaps be in need of restoration, repair or vehicle consultation services???

Having recently relocated with a little bit of property and some prime testing trails onhand, I forsee the construction of a new workshop facility for my own use and I am considering contract work for individuals in need.

At this point in time I am testing the waters so to speak to see how viable this idea is.

I am capable of everything from minor repairs to full blown restorations incl mechanical, paint, body, fabrication etc.

All comments appreciated, please PM me should you be inquiring about possible services...

First...I agree . Chris does great restoration work. Lots of attention to detail and good finishing. Never could hold on to a vehicle for more than five minutes when done. (Hmmm.......Like anyone I know?)

Geoff.... Should you have a look at "full blown" as a restoration description??? Sounds evil to me.

PS Chris. You still owe me $20.

Peter, you were jusyt running through my mind yesterday. What a sight that was! Ugh.

At any rate, I figured I'd run into you sooner or later. Are you going to Ottawa in October for the OMVA meet? Other than that, send me your address or come on up and I'll buy you lunch...

Naw, that just means that he's being honest, that he's 'blown' every restoration he's ever tried. Good man there, takes a lot of courage to admit that...

Well, I'm not local, but I'm surely in need of restoration. Just what do you have in the way of spare parts for a bad back and arthritic knees? Doesn't need to be NOS parts, just a quick fix will be fine.

I should be donning helmet and flak vest due to all the shots fired my way....

Give a little, get a little. Watch out guys 'cause next time its my turn!
