About Us

Bringing Life back to Old Horses.

MetalByBrian is a coachbuilding and metal working company, based in the Wakefield District of West Yorkshire.

I specialize in the fabrication of custom and classic car panels and installing them onto said vehicles.

I have been Restoring classic vehicles since I was a child, first "helping" my Dad in his garage from the moment I could walk.

My Story

I am an avid classic car enthusiast, my own passion lies with Mercedes-Benz and Ladas. I have also worked on Volkswagens, Fords and MG's just to name a few.

I first started welding when i was 8 years old, and began my coach building experiences at the age of 12, rebuilding a Unimog cab for my Dad.

When I first started my business I had planned to build custom offroad equipment for 4x4s. However, my reputation for coach building lead to several enquiries for the restoration of Mercedes T1's and T2's, from my existing YouTube and Facebook communities.

I took these opportunities on, and received so much work that I decided to make this my main business.

A young Brian, stood in front of my own 307D when I first purchased it, my plan is to restore this, but I never seem to have the time!
