My timing must have been perfect the fateful morning when I saw Mark’s Escort again. I had just written a list of cars that I wanted to photograph for some magazines and buried in there was the ‘silver Mk I Escort.’ I reckon it was around 2 years ago or so that I saw the […]
Jordan Roche has his own unique style when it comes to transforming cars. A Holden man through and through, he buys standard, modern cars and works his magic over them to give them maximum impact. His latest creation, this 2006 HSV Maloo R8 is the pinnacle of his art. “I have loved building cars over […]
For some people, getting the right car, the right job and the right finish are the most important things. For Trevor Floyd, they were all that mattered. Distance was not an issue. Trevor doesn’t live on the outskirts of the city though; he is not even close to being just around the corner, he actually […]
To be honest; the second-gen Camaros really haven’t had much attention till late, which is a damn shame because when done right, like this example, they look as tough as nails. Since what feels like, the beginning of time, the only Camaros people believed that were worth modifying were the first gens – the ’67 […]
When Ford announced their decision to release the 30th Anniversary GT Falcon in 1997, many feared that it would be the last we would ever see of the Grand Touring icon. Dale Parker certainly thought so, but with only 272 GT’s being rolled off of the production line in Broadmeadows it was almost impossible to […]
The GT40 is one of those cars you can’t help but fall in love with. It carries a faultless design and aesthetic, it is a proven race track performer with a thoroughbred pedigree, and well hey, they are just cool as shit, right? Well, David Stean must like them a whole bunch because this is […]
Inspiration. Everyone that builds a modified car has found it somewhere, whether it was in the pages of a magazine or from older siblings or mates that had hot cars, at some point there an ignition source, a spark that sets you on a path to build your version of the dream machine. Alan Smart […]
The reaction to Chris Dicker’s HZ ute could best be described as polarising. With the bonnet shut, most people would just see a pretty tidy Sandman ute, then they’d probably figure out that the Sandman stripes seem to morph into an XW GT stripe at the front of the car. With the bonnet up, the […]
Jonathan Calautti is a very humble dude indeed. Pay him a compliment about his car, and he is not too sure on how to take it or how to respond. He was shocked when I asked to photograph his ’82 XD Fairmont Ghia a few years ago I had seen the car a few times […]
The Cougar is a unique beast that the Ford Motor company started pumping out in the late sixties from their Mercury division. The first gen models worse the basic foundations of the classic Mustang platform. The car wore new sheet metal and was a little larger than the ‘Stang. A full-width divided grille with hidden […]
