Recently at the workshop, a pleasure to work on this smartly presented Beck Speedster, complete with tubular chassis as opposed to shortened Type 1 pan. Sorting out a few issues such as misaligned rocker arms & correctly shimming to eliminate excessive axial play of rocker arms, isolating a fuel hose from an adjacent sharp object, removing the plastic fuel filter from above cylinder #4 & replacing with metal item in a cool location, securing fuel hose clamps that were found loose, valve clearances, brake fluid flush, steering box lash adjustment, Dellorto carburettor balance and adjustment of throttle linkages, as well as a general grease / oil service.
A clean and sorted car, exciting to drive, she's a keeper for the owner 🍻👍

Was great to take last Sunday off and lay down 136 miles in the Tarz Garage flagship Porsche 912. Everything is running sweet, [I'm always listening and feeling!] I'm so glad I completed a full nut and bolt mechanical restoration on this thing years ago when I had the chance, and it's fully sorted, ready to enjoy anytime.

Get in touch today for a chat about your project/restoration needs, anything is possible. Our mission is to get you out, enjoying your Classic, and leave your worries behind 🍻!

A re-cap on the Tarz Garage 2nd Social Drive Day - 31st May! A few pics from last Sunday's Event...

Many thanks to all who brought their Classic Cars and enjoyed the morning with us, it was great to see you all!

A huge thanks to my wife and her Mum for baking all the cakes and treats, my Father in-law for helping me clean up our workshop and taking care of logistics. Thanks to my Parents for cooking up breakfast and reserving the tables in the park. Many thanks to Mark and Em of Commer Coffee for the incredible and much needed coffee first up at the workshop, and thanks to Kathleen, Kaye, Louis, Stef and Paul for sending through some pics!!

Hello All! Unless it's a general service😅, now taking bookings for late August, due to current bookings/projects/engine builds and the time required for maintaining a high standard of work.
Thanks for your patience✨☕✨!
