Our Work Speaks Louder Than We Do

Years of experience, hundreds of happy customers, and some seriously cool projects

Look, we could talk all day about what we do here at the shop, but honestly? The cars tell the story better than we ever could. From basket-case classics that rolled in on a trailer to daily drivers that just needed some love, we've worked on 'em all. Check out some of the stuff we've been proud to work on over the years.

The Story Behind This Build

So this '69 912 came to us from an estate sale. The previous owner had started a restoration back in the '90s and... well, life happened. It sat in a garage for another 25 years before the family decided to finish what grandpa started.

The body was mostly solid - some typical rust in the battery tray and floors, but nothing we haven't seen before. Engine was apart in boxes, transmission was questionable, and the interior was pretty much gone. Classic project car situation.

We spent about 18 months on this one, taking our time to do it right. Stripped everything down to bare metal, fixed the rust properly (no shortcuts here), got the body laser-straight, then laid down the original Signal Orange paint. Engine got a full rebuild with some mild upgrades - better oil system, upgraded ignition, but kept it numbers-matching. Found a good used transmission and went through it completely.

Interior was custom but period-correct. Customer wanted it usable, not just a trailer queen. New Coco mats, recovered seats in black leather, complete dash restoration. Even tracked down correct date-coded seatbelts.

The owner cried when he picked it up. Not gonna lie, we got a little misty too. That's what makes this job worth it.

Owner's Testimonial

"My grandfather bought this car new in 1969, and I have childhood memories of riding in it. When my family asked if I wanted to finally finish his restoration project, I knew it had to be done right. Halrion Verseforge didn't just restore the car - they brought back those memories. Every detail is perfect, but it's still a car you can drive and enjoy. They understood what this meant to our family, and it shows in every inch of the work. I drive it every weekend, and grandpa would be proud."

What Our Customers Say

"Brought my E46 M3 in for a cooling system overhaul. These guys know BMWs inside and out. No BS, fair pricing, and they actually explained what needed to be done and why. Found my permanent shop."

- David L., Burnaby

"Had a nightmare experience at another shop with my Audi. Took it to Halrion and they fixed not only what I brought it in for but also caught three other issues the previous shop missed. Honest and thorough."

- Sarah K., Richmond

"Custom exhaust work on my Mercedes was absolutely perfect. Sounds incredible, fits like it came from the factory, and they finished ahead of schedule. These guys are artists with metal."
