80’s Supras, much like 80’s Corollas, are becoming more and more rare as time goes on. Sadly the Supra is not immune to the afflictions some of these old vehicles seem to get, least of all: rust. Like any great vintage Japanese car, it has the ability to slowly disintegrate before your very eyes. The… Continue reading Supra Preservation – Rust Removal

Back From The Dead – AE86 Restoration – Pt. 4
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.
A Super Restomod – Lotus Super Seven – Part Two
Welcome to Part Two of our Super Seven restoration coverage! If you didn’t check out part one yet, you should get on that first, then get right back here! Enough of that, let’s dig in to part two!
A Super Restomod – Lotus Super Seven – Part One
We’ve mentioned before that we enjoy challenging projects from time to time, and this one would be no exception. It’s a Lotus Super Seven! Okay, but not actually. Y’see, this is actually a licensed copy of the Lotus Super Seven, one that was manufactured by a Canadian company in the 70’s and 80’s. So, as… Continue reading A Super Restomod – Lotus Super Seven – Part One
Back From The Dead – AE86 Restoration Pt. 3
It’s been a while since we’ve had a look at this one! Last time around we got started in to the metal work on this extremely rusty AE86. You’d better believe there’s a whole lot more left to do! Let’s dig a little further in to this restoration project!
BMW (S)2002tii – Honda F20C Swap
If you were to try to think of iconic BMWs, the 2002tii would probably rate pretty high on that list. Just about everybody recognizes them or has seen one at some point. Some may prefer the version with round tail lights, but BMW had both square and round over the years. Nonetheless, it serves as… Continue reading BMW (S)2002tii – Honda F20C Swap
Back From The Dead – AE86 Restoration Pt. 2
We are back for the second part of restorting this very, very rusty AE86! In the first part of this series, we had a look at all of the various rusty regions found on this car (spoiler: it’s the whole car), and took it for media blasting to try and reveal as much of the… Continue reading Back From The Dead – AE86 Restoration Pt. 2
The Datsun Of 1000 Dents – 1972 Datsun 510
We’ve always been firm believers that one of the best ways to start off with a clean old Japanese car for a proper build is to go down south of the border (like, really south) to find them. California, Oregon, and Texas have some real gems if you’re willing to do the legwork of shipping… Continue reading The Datsun Of 1000 Dents – 1972 Datsun 510
The Golden One – 1972 Cadillac Eldorado Wagon
When people talk about Cadillac wagons, most of the time they’re referring to the more recent CTS-V wagons which just happen to be some of the coolest wagons out there these days. In this case however, we’re talking about one which may have been a sort of spiritual predecessor to the CTS-V: a 1972 Cadillac… Continue reading The Golden One – 1972 Cadillac Eldorado Wagon
1966 Chevrolet C10 – Sleeper Truck!
This may not be our first sleeper, but it was definitely a cool project to work on! The truck came to us in what looked to be a decent shape, but had some nasty little secrets hidden under the surface. Our task was to do some rust repair on the worst bits, as well as… Continue reading 1966 Chevrolet C10 – Sleeper Truck!
