Feels like only yesterday
It really does feel like only yesterday that it was my GC8 in the booth getting the RRC treatment and here we are 2 years later saving another Impreza.

Experience pays
One of the benefits of being a painter for nearly 20 years? Perfect gloss straight from the gun no flatting or polishing required! 02C can be a very tricky colour to paint / match but when it goes right its a joy to look at. For such a light blue it has real depth to it Subaru got it spot on in formulation lab when the...

Seriously?
There is a special placed reserved in hell for people that choose to fit a hideous ill fitting spoiler and then proceed to fit it using interior trim panel clips and enough Sikaflex to hold the Saturn 5 to the launchpad at full thrust!!!!I'm working on a little update video at the moment for you guys, Should be rea...
Is it just me?
With the amount of vivid pinks available why oh why did Subaru feel the need to choose this horrible shade for there STI bits? Or it might just be me as you know what im like for proper vivid colours! The skate board and 916 spring instantly to mind haha.Anyway you'll be glad to hear I'm finished filming and al...

A nice little job to round things off
So a nice little job has come up that will make for a nice little bonus video before stopping for a few days for the holidays. My friend has a little EP2 Civic and would like to freshen up the engine bay a bit so he's asked me to sort out the cam cover while he tidies up all the small things like brackets and clips...
Talk About A Screw Up
Well that went down like a lead balloon! I've taken the chainsaw video down as i need to re-edit the missing middle section again as lots of people over on YouTube took the invite to come to Patreon for a look around and see the post about the missing footage and why its missing as a sort of pay wall type deal or b...
