Projects

2017 is our 10th year in business and as a bit of a birthday present we decided to re-vamp the shop and fill it with new gear, check out the pics!!

Dean had seen the ‘Refined’ FC ute we finished and knew straight away he wanted us to build his dream car, with the same theme everything is to be re manufactured and restored to be better than new, the plan is to have high tech chassis, suspension, brakes, engine and gear box so he can enjoy driving his car as if it just rolled off the Holden production line in 2017 as a brand new car.

It is also very important for dean that we keep the classic and original styling of the outside body but refine each panel so the body work and paint are flawless just like the “Refined” FC ute, this build being a true resto mod boast’s a brand new E-rod LS3 engine, Trmec T56 Magnum 6 speed manual and a completely 3D modelled chassis and suspension designed and fabricated specifically for this car in house, which includes, full tubular double wishbone front with Ridetech coil overs and big Baer brakes, parallel 4 link and watts link in the rear with Ridetech coil overs and big Baer brakes.

Daves FJ Holden is one to look out for! See it at MotorEx with its fresh House of Kolor paint job.

A few pics of the workshop and the team

This is the total re-construction and restoration of a HQ Monaro Coupe, the car is being re-engineered to drive like new, yet retain the classic styling of a HQ Monaro.

Holden Fe Coupe Custom – this car has potential to be one of the country’s best! The owner has chosen to sell the car as a project as he has concentrated on another project (refined FC) the build is where it is in the pictures, still welded to the chassis table, it will be sold as a project to be finished by Down Town Kustoms, Turnaround time on finishing the car is 2 years.

If you are interested in taking over the build of a very high end Australian muscle car, please contact Graeme on 02 6557 8542 or info@downtownkustoms.com.au

Duffy’s HQ Holden build.

This is a 1966 Triumph Trophy that we cut up, the end result is delightful.

When Matt came to see us his truck had been completely ruined by another shop, we hooked in and saved his pride and joy. Everything on the chassis was reworked and scratch built. It came in on a trailer, two weeks later we only had 40% of the chassis we could use and just under a year later it drove out. Matt then drove it to Twin Towns Panel and Paint in QLD for a coat of House of Kolor to finish the truck off.

Jakes Hilux, a mini-truck thats built to drive, not to just go up and down.

Jez’s Commodore has been a long-term build at the shop. It’s definitely a head turner and we cant wait to see this bad boy finished.

These are some of the cars we have either built or worked on in some way.
