Small shop at Summit Point Raceway specializing in E30s

[dirty30]

Just moved our equipment from downtown Winchester to a more permanent location at Summit Point Raceway. I am targeting my business at older BMWs for the time being so I am posting this to gain a little traction and perhaps a few good customers who track their BMWs and want a trusted mechanic who has been around these old BMWs for a while. I am doing this on nights and weekends but hope to go full time if the business is out there. I will also be doing (hopefully) a lot of custom exhaust work or exhaust repair. I have done a few complete systems recently and enjoy this kind of work. I only MIG weld exhausts, most track cars or race cars don't need a polished stainless TIG welded system, it's overkill and expensive.

Some projects I've taken on in the past:

M5X/ S5X swap with hard wired engine harness
M60 swap including 6 speed manual
325e to M42 swap
E21 M42 swap with my own in house engine mount arms
Wilwood manual pedal install
Steering rack swaps (e30 to e36 etc)
Full M Coupe suspension swap on e30 with correct brake line routing in the rear
Adjustable rear subframes
Front strut housing shortening/ sway bar tab relocation etc.
Front subframe reinforcement
Compete start to finish Spec E30 build

I have a few contacts in the area for roll cage and other fabrication and can handle transport of a prepped car to and from these places of business. I also work closely with a great body shop that has a done a lot of work for me personally and a number of my friends. This shop has painted roll cages and does a lot of one off chassis fabrication and repair.

PM me for contact info!

My brothers shop, PD Autowerks was where I used to be. He has since taken over the whole building downtown to expand his business. He works on VW and Audis but wants to direct his business more towards motorsports. The bodyshop I deal with is Apple Valley Collision/ Apple Valley Restoration in Martinsburg. They are currently working on my fiances 72 Tii.

Thanks man, not full time yet but if I can drum up enough business it will be. Stop by anytime if you are in the area.

Congrats on the new building! I love Summit Point, I basically grew up there when I was younger.

Would love to stop by. Sometimes I come down with a couple of my friends who work for meathead. I might have some exhaust work coming your way in the future.

Cool, if you are around its unit 25. Not doing work on the scale of meathead, RP or performance Autoworks but we'll see where this takes me.
