He was a plumber when, in 2012, he decided to quit construction to make car restoration his full-time business. He worked on Mustangs, Corvettes, and Chevy pickups. In 2016, he bought his first 1979 911sc which was followed by a 1978 930 Turbo.
After the completion of the two Porsches, which were restored as close to factory spec as possible, he wanted to build an Outlaw. This meant a car with a bigger motor, bigger wheels, an upgraded suspension, and a custom interior. The first thing he came across was the monster 2332 cc air-cooled engine and this is what sparked the initial idea for the 356 Outlaw. The suspension and floor pan started as a 70’s Beetle.
The body was built by Universal Products in Isando. It is a steel-reinforced fiberglass body. The body was fitted to a shortened floor pan and disc brakes were installed all around. All the steering components were replaced with new parts bought at Volkspares who are based in Jet Park, Boksburg.
The bodywork was done by Creative Customs in Roodepoort. They took great care in ensuring that the body panels lined up and that the body laser was straight. The paint is a color called Azura blue.
The color decision was made easy by using Google. The paintwork was applied by Bennie Rossouw from Auto Magic (he made it onto the cover of the December 2018 edition of Speed and Sound magazine with his 2JZ Hilux). He is a very talented man who shows great passion for the work that he does.
