Have a look on my website in the resto section

Will take a look now Paul... But seeing as I've seen what you have built in the past and how trust worthy you are... The only reason I didn't ring and ask is I thought you had a lot on mate.


Many thanks Mat.

There's a few people that have done exceptional work... The main thing for me is car security and someone that will take care with it.

matt based on the positive reactions to pauls work id say you cant go wrong with him.. like you say, he does em regular and knows cosworths inside out. i bet he lives in a house with 3 doors..

Paul treats his customers cars like his own, nothing wrong with a bit of OCD when it comes to having work done on your pride and joy.
