Precision. Performance. Perfection.

At Pete’s Customs & Performance, we don’t just modify vehicles; we engineer them to perform. Whether it’s a classic restoration performance exhaust, high-performance race car preparation, we take pride in delivering superior craftsmanship.

With over 20 years of hands-on experience, we specialise in bespoke metal fabrication, race-ready performance upgrades, and precision engineering for motorsport. Every project is built with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that your vehicle is not just visually impressive, but structurally sound and engineered for optimal performance.

From custom chassis modifications and turbo manifolds to Motorsport NZ-approved roll cages and high-end air suspension setups, we bring technical expertise and passion to every build. Whether you’re enhancing your car for the track, restoring a classic to perfection, we are committed to delivering work that exceeds expectations.

No two projects are the same, and that’s what drives us. Yours is a one-of-a-kind creation. Every vehicle we work on is treated as if it were our own, with the same level of precision, passion, and dedication. If you demand the best in fabrication and performance, you’ve come to the right place.

Pete has been building my Cosworth powered Anglia for more years than I can remember. I took time to watch Pete perform his magic using old traditional sheet metal working methods. This guy is a master craftsman at his trade. I know that my build will be the best that he can do. Love your work Pete.

Pete put a muffler on my car a few years ago. Looked after my pride and joy like it was his own. The work he did was outstanding. I wish I had more projects to support a business like this.

Pete's work is of the highest quality, he is a perfectionist. So if you are wanting any fabrication, specialist welding of Stainless, Aluminium or Steel or specialist exhaust work, then go no further. You wont find anybody better in Christhurch
