Brad ·

At the risk of advertising I will simply say we do all vw work and have a fully qualified mechanic on staff. We also specialise in doing the stuff no thers want to touch.
To name just a few things:
- IRS Conversions
- Disc Brake conversions
- Engine Conversions
- Beach Buggy Work from service to building
- All Modifications and Blue Plating
- Any fabrication work - steel, alloy, stainless
- RWC's
- Custom Fuel tanks
- Servicing
- Rebuilds
- etc etc etc

All work is top notch and has the approvals to support this. We have some of the best welders in brissy on staff not to mention Engineers and V-Dub heads. We love what we do and pride ourselves in on time, on budget and top quality work. Written quotes and full product backing .....

All will become much clearer over the next few months and the new website will carry a full product range and pricing structure. We will also shortly be importing many of those hard to get parts we think are missing from the current market.

Anyway soap box off .. I will go back to my hole now and will plug the business no more. Needles to say if you want more info feel free to drop in or email me at brad@customoffroad.com.au - 28 Hayward St Stafford 3356 4356.

hehe you get the idea.... now back to planning our Product Development car..........

vwombat ·

WOW! I'm impressed - now that's committment. I cant wait to see the future gallery of your work. Northside artists of metal madness. Way to go. You're gonna end up doing dub's till you're old and grey (and lovin' it!).

Now that's taking destiny by the short and curlies!

Wag67 ·

Well done boys. Hope all goes well and if you are as good as you say you are then you definitly have 2 cars that will be sent your way.

Brad ·

Thanks for all the good words. I must admit it is still a bit funny... I mean where else have I ever worked where employees are happy when they are still there at 8.00pm and not being paid for their work with anything but beer an laughs.

We have quite a few plans dreamed up to keep us busy .... that is of course if we ever get quite... seems people really like the written quotes and no more than 10% variation without customer consent policy.

We will also be offering fixed price services and a few other niceties we hope will keep people not only coming back but also driving their VW’s longer, rather then retiring them due to so many unforeseen costs.

Cheers,

buzzbug ·

if you want brad i can ring you up and berate you for being late and threaten to charge you and all that other wonderful stuff.

that is only if you are feeling a little home sick. :P:P

BiX ·

hey brad do quotes still stand from last week?

HotRodMatt ·

You're gonna be busy now!
We also specialise in doing the stuff no thers want to touch.
What stuff will that be?

Something really radical in the works?

Brad ·

"hey brad do quotes still stand from last week?" I guess it depends which quote you are talking about ...

As far as what is in the pipe works ... well I am sure there will be a lot more VW's around with radiators on them, big ass wheels, disc brakes, cool bar work and engineering papers. Throw in some R & P steering, a few nut bar ideas and a picture begins to form.

ducky ·

I guess it is time for the new generation with you taking over custom and Kurt and Gunter taking over Volksmod.

handycam ·

well done brad will have 2 drop in 4 a look when im up qld way

Spook ·

10 bucks says it will be full of your own projects inside a month.......:thumb

Well I will be lending my creative and engineering services to Brad here and there (like I always have I guess), so I'll be helping some weird ideas become a reality.

I got a real interesting project that won't get out of my head...

Andy42 ·

Well I took my Buggy in there today so we will see in a few weeks how creative he can be :thumb I would have liked power steering but i heard there were a few probs 😀😀.
