Welcome, and thanks for visiting our site!  Our featured car is Kip's Fjord Blue 3.0 CS.  It's the car in the background of this page and at top left.  Click the photo to see how it came out.  Scroll down and you can see the whole car without writing over it.  

For those of you who might not know this, the CS was the first BMW sports car ever used in a James Bond 007 film and is considered by experts as one of the top 20 cars of all time.

We have three other 3.0CS's in production and two CSi's.  A black one with red interior is at Carl Nelson's at La Jolla Independent for his 3.5 liter Motronic 3 conversion.  I'll post photos when it comes back.

We also have three 73 tii's in production, also several carb 02s including a Golf yellow with a 38 - 38 upgrade, ported intake and special exhaust manifold from Jeff at Ireland Engineering.  We have a Polaris silver getting a 320hp turbo conversion from Steve at Top End Performance.  I'll post photos of these cars as they're completed.    

We're also working with owners of America classics.  Some of our projects include a couple of '56 Chevies, a Malibu, 65 'Vette fastback, 72 K5 Blazer, MG Midget, and a Factory Five Cobra kit car.  I've included some photos below.      

If you like what you see, PLEASE CALL ME.  I CAN BUILD A CAR I HAVE IN STOCK, YOUR CAR, OR FIND ONE FOR YOU.

THIS IS FROM LARRY, the owner of the tii lower left.  "I purchased my 1972 BMW 2002tii from Act1 Restorations just over two years ago receiving the car in December 2006. I am as happy with my car today as I was two years ago. It drives like a new car and turns heads wherever I go."  Click here for Larry's first and second REFERENCE LETTERS
