hey everyone, it is now time to start letting people know that Mike Waldron and i have opened up a workshop..... the company is call RAW Auto Werks and it is located in campbelltown... Basically we are specialising in all restoration work as well as custom work..... We are quite excited as we have wanted to do something like this for some time.... just thought id share the news with the whole VW community. Also although we are predominantly dealing with VW's, we are also doing other makes and models, such as Holden, Chev, Ford Etc basically anything early........ cheers Adam and Mike
p.s. here is the facebook page as we still do not have a website, keep u updated... 馃槑
Well done lads - will have to pay a visit and say good-ay sometime.
