In-house work:

All detailed machining and Chassis and suspension work with 2-3 tradesmen (plus apprentice) can produce up to 4 conversions/wk. We have a small machining workshop in our factory with welding able to be accomplished almost anywhere throughout the factory;

Final assembly is carried out in our main factory section.

 

Supply of Outsourced work:

More specialized operations on some parts are from overseas (Japan & USA). Both genuine factory, and specific aftermarket parts, from domestic suppliers locally.

 

Conversion work:

First, we strip the base vehicle’s rear suspension and chassis. Then extend and reinforce it.

Next we extend and reinforce the chassis to prepare it for our suspension.
