Yesterday, I finished Peter’s fuel tank and side covers. He couldn’t wait to put everything back on his bike.

Rewiring an awesome 1942 Willys Jeep
The wiring of this awesome Jeep looked like a mouse had some fun with it. So I’m replacing all the wiring for period looking cloth wiring.

Baja Bug
When I was in the Uk I helped Kornish Kustoms while they were working on a totally custom Baja Bug with the biggest available tyres in the UK. Most of the work involved prepping for paint but also all sorts of fabrication work.
Full respray Mk4 Golf
I recently finished a full respray of my Mk4 golf. Debadged it, removed the indicators from the front wings, removed the aerial from the roof and removed de locks out of the door handles. I also installed Mk5 look wing mirrors and repaired some dents.
Debadging tailgate
I’ve done some rust repair on the tailgate of my Mk4. While working on that I also debadged it. These are some of the pictures I took.
Quarter panel replacement Mazda 3
I helped a lecturer to replace the rear quarter panel on his Mazda 3. The car was placed on a jig to straighten the inner wing. Both bumpers needed replacement too. A new quarter panel was fitted by spot-welding, MIG-welding and glueing. I helped with all this and with the preparation work for paint.
