Just a quick update of what’s new and not so new. Ive just been a bit lazy.
About 2 months ago Brad from Dr Stitch got started on the trim in our MY99 WRX, keeping with the red, white and black theme we got him to trim the roof lining and pillars in red suede. Next will be the seats, once the material arrives.
Next up is Julie’s SXHEVN S14 200SX, we have been looking after her car for a little while now and finally managed to get some photos of it. And incase you hadn’t noticed we also look after her partners car, Adam’s MXHEVN Mazda MX-5
Most of the time the jobs we get are pretty smooth sailing but every now and then things go pear shaped. Heres one job we started on but due to unforeseen circumstances we didn’t get the chance to finish.

SIDS and KIDS charity car show was held a Mt. Druitt. last Sunday.
So we though we would go down with some of the guys and show off the cars and help the organisers raise some money for a good cause.
The weather was perfect, there was a mix of late model “Sex Spec” styled cars, aussie muscle cars, rotaries and some awesome hot rods.
All in all it was a top day and proved once again that not all car enthusiasts are HOONS.
After have a shocking day with the camera i managed to get a couple decent shots out of it.

Brodie’s Civic always ends up getting something new even after telling everyone “its finished” countless times, hence its nick name “The never ending story”
He managed to get his hands on one of the last BRAND NEW sets of genuine AME Modelart Excellants in the world, got a fresh lick of Mazda pearl white paint, then bought a pair of Sparco bucket seats for the front.
With the bright red seats in the front the rest of the trim looked a bit bland so he came and saw us to see what could be done to tie the whole car together.
We got Brad from Dr. Stitch Customs to work his magic and trim the roof lining, A B and C pillars and the parcel tray in red suede then trim the door inserts and rear seat in the same red velour as the Sparco buckets. He even mirrored the trim pattern from the Sparcos on to the rear seat to make sure everything flowed nicely.
Next on the list is a B16A VTEC conversion and detailed engine bay.

News just the YF34RR R34 we finished recently visited W.S.I.D. last night
with 297 kw and on street tyres it ran a 12.8 second pass, we should see these times drop with a good set of tyres and some more track time.
