About Vinny Fab
Built by people who build cars
A family-owned custom fabrication shop in Christchurch, specialising in rotary, JDM and high-performance vehicles.
Our story
From a home garage to Christchurch's custom fab shop
Vinny Fab was founded in 2017 by Lars and Anna Thomsen. What began as a passion project in our home garage, working on friends' cars, has grown into a full-service automotive fabrication shop with in-house fabricators and a mechanic, plus a team of engine builders and tuning experts.
We specialise in titanium welding. We've worked with High Performance Academy, Rodin Cars, Jake Jones (Drift Squid) and Jimmy Oaks, and our work has been featured in performance car magazines and won awards across the New Zealand car show scene.
Whether you're after an exhaust, radiator, intercooler, catch can, full turbo setup or a one-off custom part, our friendly team is here to help bring it to life.
