The depth of this “paint job” is unbelievable, I love the effect that the metalwork creates under the paint.

Car of the week 💰

If you watched the paint job above and feel like that was a lot of hard work, I present an alternative approach, a crochet wrapped Volvo. Yes, really. Affectionately referred to as a ‘gangster grannie’ transformation, I dread to think how much this smells, or how much it weighs on a rainy day, but it will certainly turn heads and put a smile on peoples’ faces. Sadly the car has now sold, so you’ll have to knit your own.

I almost feel like I need to apologise for more restomod content, but how can you resist those 4 beauties tackling Italian mountain roads. Ollie Marriage gives us a refreshingly honest review of all 4.

Hot off the press 📰

What a 5 car garage this would be! Classic Driver pick 5 ‘collector cars’ to add to your collection. The below is the pick of the bunch for me.

Seen in the wild 👀

Spotted on a recent visit to Caffeine & Machine, I didn’t really know what I was looking at. A bit of Googling reveals that it’s a modified Datsun 100A F11, in a Kaido x Rat Rod style. I can’t find one for sale at the moment so they must be incredible rare in the UK, but it looks like they typically sell for under £5k. These guys sell all sorts of cool Kaido style model cars, if you’d like to see what this could look like.
