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... Continue Reading

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... Continue Reading

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,... Continue Reading

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... Continue Reading

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... Continue Reading

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... Continue Reading

According to titles in the media, it may seem like we’re going through the incarnation of the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Freezing cold, temperatures below zero, snow and all that stuff. When we were kids, this was just called “winter”, now we have the red zone alerts all over the news. Anyway, such cataclysmic... Continue Reading

I like making robots and animatronic stuff, so whenever something like that comes to my plate, I get really enthusiastic about it. Few months ago, I was commissioned to make an animatronic skeleton of the soldier robot for the museum purposes. And yes, it supposed to be big I didn’t had much time, so I didn’t take...

When creating custom projects, you never know what kind of challenge the client will put in front of you – it’s exciting and a bit frightening at the same time. Each time you have to start with a blank canvas, the whole new set of knowledge and skills, and you’re just trying to build your way through the... Continue Reading
