Recreated components
Damaged, discontinued or difficult to source? We use existing parts, measurements and reference details to develop replacements that respect the original design.
Adelaide · South Australia
Classic parts. Modern possibilities.
Hard-to-find parts recreated. Existing components improved. Custom ideas brought to life. We combine restoration experience with 3D scanning, CAD design and printing to make the details your car needs.
Tell us about your part ↗01 / What we do
The part you need.
The detail you imagined.
Improved & custom parts
Refine the fit, rethink a mounting point or create something unique. From evaporator housings to badges, we develop practical components around your build.
Interior parts ready for trimming
Custom panels, consoles, armrests and shaped components supplied ready for your trimmer, with fit and allowances for padding and covering considered in the design.
3D scanning, CAD & printing
Capture an existing shape, turn it into a digital design and develop a prototype or suitable finished part. Modern tools backed by hands-on knowledge of how cars go together.
02 / Modern tools. Classic character.
Hard to find?
Let’s create it.
A missing or broken part doesn’t have to hold up your build. We combine hands-on restoration knowledge with modern design and manufacturing methods to recreate original details—and improve them where it makes sense.
Bring unavailable parts back.
Working from an existing component, measurements or reference details, we can develop a digital design for parts that are damaged, discontinued or simply difficult to source.
Keep the look. Refine the fit.
Recreating a part is also a chance to address awkward mounting points, poor fit or fragile details. We can explore changes while respecting the style and purpose of the original.
Make something of your own.
Custom badges, interior parts ready for trimming, housings and one-off components designed around your car. From an early idea to a prototype you can check on the build.
Examples from our work
Small details.
Useful solutions.
Evaporator housings
Recreating air-conditioning housings using digital design, with attention to packaging, mounting points and how the component fits into the car.
Badges & custom details
Reproducing hard-to-find badges or developing a personalised design, using modern tools to bring crisp detail and individual character to a build.
Interior parts ready for trimming
Custom interior panels, consoles, armrests and shaped components designed around your car and supplied ready for your trimmer to finish in leather, vinyl or fabric. We plan the shape, fit and allowances for padding and covering as part of the design.
Every part has a different job. We work through fit, material choice and the intended use to decide on a suitable approach, whether that’s a printed component, a prototype or a design for further manufacture.

Work through the details.
We'll discuss fit, function, appearance and materials, and whether we need the original component, a scan or more measurements.
Find a way forward.
Agree on the design and production approach. Where needed, a prototype can help check the fit before moving to the finished component.
