We’re back with the final chapter in this restoration series. If you didn’t catch the beginning of this story, it’s definitely worth getting caught up. This poor little old Corolla was in pretty rough shape when we first got our hands on it, but things are finally starting to look a lot more solid.

SAVAGE Z – RB30 Powered 240Z – Part 2
Welcome back! In the first part of this series, we introduced you to the RB powered 240Z autocross machine, as well as getting started on some minor improvements. This time around we’re getting a bit more in depth! Let’s dive in!
SAVAGE Z – RB30 Powered 240Z – Part 1
We’ve worked on a few Datsun Z cars over the years, but this one is by far the most powerful. This car came to us with a storied racing pedigree under its belt as a contender in various autocross series. As with any race car, there’s always room for improvement, and that was the task… Continue reading SAVAGE Z – RB30 Powered 240Z – Part 1
Back From The Dead – AE86 Restoration Pt. 1
It has been a while since we’ve featured an AE86 restoration on the blog (the last one was the Project 86 build, which you should go look at if you haven’t already). This could be for a couple of reasons: in part because there are very few left around here at this point which haven’t… Continue reading Back From The Dead – AE86 Restoration Pt. 1
The Targa Truck – 1971 GMC Truck
Anybody who is familiar with us here at Cyrious Garageworks is probably also familiar with the fact that we tend to enjoy a challenge.

Paint Booth In Action!
Unless you’ve had your head under a big boulder somewhere, you probably heard that we had expanded our operations to do all paint and body work in house. We haven’t actually posted very much about our bodyshop since then, but rest assured that we’ve been slugging away, and we have the pictures to prove it!… Continue reading Paint Booth In Action!
One Quick Z-Car
We’ve been fortunate enough to have some really cool Z-Car projects come through our doors, and this one is no exception! This 240z actually came to us in reasonably good shape, but needed some TLC under the hood in more ways than one, along with some drivability upgrades! As you can see, this one is… Continue reading One Quick Z-Car
Return of the Rocket Bunny – 240z Completed!
So, the way that we left off this build, metal work was complete, and the car was ready to take on drivetrain and receive all of the finishing touches. As you can see, it came back to us much the same as how it left. The main difference is that now we have a fully… Continue reading Return of the Rocket Bunny – 240z Completed!
