Dom Chinea gives us the full workshop tour

In this episode we head down to Dominic Chinea’s workshop for the full tour. You probably know Dom as one of the restoration experts on the BBC series The Repair Shop but as we soon find out he’s got a few more irons in the fire with some super cool restoration projects and his Ranalah English Wheel business really taking off.
We’ve know Dom for a few years and helped him out with a Type 2 Detectives front beam setup on his 1958 VW split bus last year and now that the time had come to move it on he gave us a call to come and take a look to see if we could sell it for him.
Leaving with his bus on our trailer and his 1936 BSA motorbike in our van we head back hoping to move them both on as quickly as possible for him. Can we sell it by the end of the episode? You’ll have to watch to find out. Thanks for the tour Dom, we can't wait to see your projects progressing.
We've also got a lovely 62 Beryl Green beetle in stock, check it out in the video and let us know in the comments how you would modify it, or would you leave it stock?
You can find Dom either on the BBC or right here on his TH-cam channel at / @dominicchineas

Leave the bug stance wheels. Just give it the once over, making it run sweet as possible. Just loving how it looks.

Hiya guy's I've dropped by via Doms channel and now a new subscriber will catch-up on your videos and see what you have been up to ❤

[@three50six]

Another cool episode. Great to hear Dom’s back story and everything he’s going on, what a gent. Cool bus and bike too, look forward to seeing the bus get a bit of a makeover in the future. Oh and I love the bug stock but a bit of a nose down stance, American racing mags with a 1776 would be hard to resist. 😮‍💨👌

[@samgreaves7087]

The boat will be a lot of fun

[@abiportway7137]

So much fun 😁😁

[@t2detectives]

[@stephenport4768]

As it is maybe a bit of suspension work but stock standard with patina

[@moonwrasse]
