I was asked to do a simple upholstery on a custom fabricated motorcycle seat. Doing upholstery and custom stitch pattern on a bike seat for me starts with measuring and putting down visual lines for possible cutting options. The first decision concerns the desired width and length.  Trying to figure out the best radius. Cutting...

From time to time it’s nice to do stuff without any higher reason than to have some fun. If there’s some kind of a story behind it, I am sure it would be in a device art category. Within my job, I make various automation systems, but they are usually fully engineered to be reliable and also fully functional. That...

We just got back from the 129th edition of Red Bull Soapbox race. It has been held for the third time in Croatia, and the interesting thing is that the slope of the race ends directly on the main Zagreb square. There was total of 55 teams racing for the first place. The one that eventually got the most points and took the first...

Ford Capri Build Log
As you already know, everything’s a project. This is particularly true for the front of the car, especially for the bumper and the winch. I had ordered a few original Capri bumpers, but none of them was in a perfect shape, so I had to get my hands really dirty to make them look like they suppose to. I wanted them to be black,...

Wiper mechanism is the one of those things that you usually don’t see, because it’s installed behind some kind of bulkhead, and usually its replacement requires quite a lot of work. I believe that its refurbishment will reduce the deterioration of the unit, and minimize the chances of failure. So, here’s Ford...

Like the all the parts of the build, front struts also got an overhaul with a twist. One of the first tasks was to take a few donor struts. As you can see, they where not in a road worthy condition. I had two sets, so they both got stripped. The next step was to weld those reinforcement triangles. Bottom of the strut was also...

In my line of work you really don’t know what’s it gonna be next. This time I was asked to make a musicality device for dance classes, a brainchild of a well known Balboa dance master Gašper Hrovat. Usually the look of the device is explained without any kind of visualization, but this time I actually got this sketch,...

Ford Capri Build Log
With all the thingamajigs and electrical stuff that I am installing in the car, I decided to mount a battery cut off switch, a few master fuses, and also, for the current measurement, a 500A shunt. I will be running 3x20mm2 wires in the car for everything, which by my calculation is more than enough, and also two wires 16mm2 for...

Knight rider’s, Blade Runner’s, Mad Max’s car and almost every space ship has an overhead control panel, so naturally, Capri needed to have one, too. Creating and mounting it became a bigger challenge than anticipated. After the initial design, we could start working on the piece. An illustration above is actually...

Custom OMP Ford Capri pedals

Believe it or not, but sourcing the pedals I like was quite a quest. So, when I finally found the design that I like, there was a problem – usually you get two identical pedals, for the clutch and the brake and one accelerator pedal with different design. But with OMP you get all different pedals, so I ended up with buying...
