In the port town of Barrow-in-Furness there is a family business with a worldwide reputation. Big Irv, his three sons and his team of 30 welders, fabricators and mechanics are renowned for bringing classic cars back from the dead.
These guys are car restoration royalty, and they use all their skill and expertise to bring their clients cars back to their former glory. They cannibalise and create, cutting sections from donor cars, raiding their treasure trove of classic spares, and, when the parts simply don't exist, adapting what they do have in their specialist workshop.
Driven by their passion for keeping cars on the road and saving original metal, their motto is “we fix anything, anyway, anyhow". Taking on wrecks that no other garage is skilled or inclined enough to repair, they bring them back to life in the most spectacular way.
