Are there any decent custom workshops here in the South East or even the UK come to that?.

Need a shop that can figure stuff out, calculate and machine and get stuff working.

The only places I seem to come across that deal in US cars are crap holes....placese where you wouldn't want to leave you push bike let alone you dream car.

I realise I'm not gonna find the Boyd Coddington of the UK but something more that a shed in a field

Speak to Jon Hogarth at Specialist In Design, based in Great Yarmouth.

Jon is the only person to work on my cars apart from me.

Website here http://www.specialistindesign.co.uk/

I'm guessing that you will be familiar with Chris Orthodoxu's Viper race car designed and built by Jon

I'm thinking more on the mechanical side.

These Guys look good but more into the bodywork from what I can see???

Very true....you answered my question spot on.

Just need someone to evaluate and tinker, get things right, adjust, space, modify and whatever it takes to get things working smoothly. It might be a case of being useful with engineering....prop and pinion angles, fuel lines.......lots of different stuff.

Well still check SID out. They do that too. John builds complete cars although the volume money is sticking body kits on Jap Crap, hence all those pics on the website.
