The lengths that this fella is going to rebuild an old rusty Rx2 4 door and do all the panel pressings himself. I know this car and have been in it as it belonged to a good friend so for me its fucking awesome to see it getting rebuilt. The guy who has bought it and restoring it is a gifted engineer with some awesome tools/machines at his disposal. But then he goes the next step and makes his own machines like a fucking awesome bead roller. http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/178941/mazda-complete-japanese-tinworm-infestation?page=1 Thanks for sharing this one! This thread is amazing. 144 pages, i'm blown away so far(upto page 13, skimming through luckily lots of photos.. ) machining dies to press out shapes for the seat belt bolts as per original on the inner sills was enough, but the bead roller tools he makes is just as impressive. loved the way he balanced the rotisserie also, very very neat thread. 4 Quote

deankdx Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 not so much a specific project, but a good video channel on metal forming by a coachbuilder in Melbourne Australia first video is how he's making front and sides of an E type Jaguar bonnet second video is a few other ways of shaping metal, using a wooden buck for the BMW custom rear 1/4 panel(inbuilt huge flares) later in the video some welded sections and forms. his channel has many other examples 3 Quote
deankdx Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 i can't remember if this build was in this thread.. but Alan has his own channel now with 82,900 subscribers, working for Dave Sparks to pay the bills and still goes to build the fortress and work on his machines/trucks etc in blog update videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKtpwNJatpLeJTGCJbw4aXg/videos Quote
VitesseEFI Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 A couple of years back I got fed up with the general fragility of Triumph gearboxes (again) and decided I would make one of the Mazda gearboxes I had kicking around fit in my Triumph GT6. Critical goal was minimal hackery to car itself….…… …… was a bit of a mission. https://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/8925-mazda-gearboxes-some-bstard-told-me-it-was-impossible-so-i-had-to-do-it/#comments 6 Quote
Muncie Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 Russian Volga/Bugatti hybrid build lots of cool fibreglass work fab and all in doesn't look shit 3 Quote
VitesseEFI Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 Interesting to see all the various techniques employed. The blend of old tech and new tech..... as to the results..... I guess if I have to ask (and I do), I won't understand...... Someone should buy them a stretcher /shrinker..... Nick Quote
deankdx Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 came across this gem today, got an interview with Street Machine at Drag Challenge. been watching the subscriber count climb from 600 this morning to 700 odd already. AWESOME channel to subscribe to i think, if you are interested in drag racing? or the mighty Honda K24 engine? this channel is awesome. part one of a build into a 1983 celica and is doing drag challenge currently running Mid 8 second 1/4mile unofficially (smoke broke the beam on one run) Quote
Popular Post Muncie Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Posted March 13, 2023 Watched this build from some Russian dudes they do some bizarre yet awesome stuff this a composite bonnet using carpet as the base turns out amazing.
