Project consulting

Know what you are getting into before the build gets expensive

A practical planning session for project cars, restorations and custom metalwork. Send the photos, the questions, and the messy context; Mike helps you work out what is realistic, what should happen first, and where the traps might be.

01

01 / What it is

A practical second set of eyes

Project consulting is for the point where you need experienced advice before buying a car, committing to a build, cutting into panels, or spending money in the wrong order. It is a practical read on the project, the likely work, and the next sensible move.

02

02 / The process

Send the context, then make a plan

You send photos, videos, goals, budget expectations and what feels uncertain. Mike reviews the project, asks the right follow-up questions, and helps break the work into stages: what matters now, what can wait, what needs specialist work, and what might be a red flag.

03

03 / Why it is worth it

Save time, money and frustration

A good build can be slow, but it should not be blind. A consult can help you avoid buying the wrong project, stripping too much too soon, missing hidden work, or spending your budget on the shiny part before the structure is sorted.
