Jake Masters, at The Bodycentre, said: "We had around 15 high-end cars show up who had all recognised Isaac's previous work.
"It was great to see how much support Isaac got from the car community and actually engaged with him while he was there.
"The fact the GoFundMe was set up and also the amount of money which was raised, was just out of the kindness of people's hearts, is truly incredible."

Isaac's dad, Gary Tibbitts, could not believe the turn-out his son had garnered when they arrived at The Bodycentre workshop on December 4.
He said: "It was absolutely amazing to see the amount of people turn up.
"For myself as well, it was great to walk around and see some very expensive cars that people have put a lot of time and effort into.
