& a little more besides...
Our new Toy Barn Automotive portfolio begins soon – Please watch this space as we start to add great restoration work...

Complete Off-Body Restoration
We leave no nut-&-bolt unturned...!
We carry out everything from & including; engineering standard welding, chassis fabrication & strengthening (or chassis replacements on L.R. Defenders), through to full mechanical reconditioning & upgrades to each vehicle's engine, transmission, braking, steering & suspension systems & beyond.
As required, our projects are medium blasted so we know exactly what we're dealing with & to give us a solid foundation for the rebuild.

Customers' Commissions
We have three of our own projects scheduled to come out of storage for full restorations in the coming weeks, & with a couple more waiting in the wings. We are also incredibly excited about taking on future customer commissions.
We're an extremely professional & very friendly bunch – so please feel free to schedule a visit to our workshop, & come & chat with us about any restoration work you might be interested in having carried out.

Custom Paint & Body Shop
Towards the end of the year, we plan to fit-out a modest & comprehensive body-shop at our new location, including a new, fully compliant spray-booth. In the meantime, we have full access to a modern & professional paint-shop facility here in Cornwall.
We are very excited & looking forward to being back in a paint-shop – respraying & recreating...

Coded/Certified Welding
Being heavily involved in restoration work & projects over the years, as you might imagine, we have become quite accustomed to carrying out the occasional spot of welding here & there...!
Our welding work:
Repairs, strengthening or modifications are all carried out by qualified welders to the highest standards, prioritising your safety & ensuring longevity of your treasured classic vehicle.
​
​

MOTs for the MOT Exempt...!
We never quite thought having aging vehicles exempt of having an annual MOT was a good idea (& if you'd only seen some of the things we have, then we're sure you would agree...!)
So we offer a full vehicle safety check which is much more comprehensive & in depth than the standard MOT Test. We then supply you with a detailed report of all the major systems & general safety condition of your treasured classic. Not only is this for your own safety & peace-of-mind but can also be a great document to hand to any prospective buyer...
