Examples
Vehicle Modifications
We undertake all types of vehicle modifications including engine conversions, chassis fabrication and brake, suspension and steering modifications. All work is completed to LTSA standards and requirements. We work in partnership with local panel beaters for any spray painting required.
LVVTA certification
We can arrange LVVTA (Low Volume Vehicle Technical Association) certification inspections. This is required for suspension lifts (and lowering) over 50mm and all 4WD body lifts. It is also required for engine conversions and most other types of vehicle modifications. We work with a certifying engineer from Palmerston North who performs the inspections and certifications at our workshop.
Engine, gearbox and diff swaps and conversions
We can replace your tired old engine, gearbox or differential with a used or rebuilt item, or re power it with a bigger, stronger option.
Auto electrical
Zachary undertakes general auto electrical work, including rewiring modern factory car computers to operate engines transplanted into classic cars.
