Sup guys how is life going.

Let me start this topic off whit a terrible news. Got a report on the RB26 engine block and its my worst nightmare. The block is damaged and is not for use anymore.So now I need to get a new block,crank,con-rods,pistons,cilinder head and camshafts so literally a new engine. The Supra is still on the sea and 15 more days will be.Can't wait for the arrival.


Mean while I got my mind occupied on all the work that I have now.It wont take long to get a new RB26 since I started to work for my cousn and I am doing all the preparations for pain in my garage then transport the car 5km to his paintbooth and respray the cars.I never knew that his schedule was so full,finished one car and got 2 sitting in my garage and got another car in 7 days so I got packed too.
The first car that I finished is a 2001 BMW M5 E39. The car had his factory color till now. The cars paint got bleached, and the owner hitted a light post in his own garden (FAIL!). The respray was pretty fast since the car was allready 50% prepared for paint,so I took it finished the preparation painted it and re-assembled it.The owner of the car was on a buisness trip so I had few extra days to prepare the other two cars that are in my garage for paint.Keep scrolling since there will be photos of the other 2 cars.Here are some of the photos :





So the beemer is done now two to go.
The next car that I will paint is a 2009 Jaguar XF-R. The car got hit at traffic lights. It went green for the Jag owner and he was turning left when some bloke went trough a red light and hitted him in the front right side.The owner asked for a compleat repaint since he is the 2nd owner of the car and he doesn't like the red color.I primared the hood that came and the front right fender still needs to dry.I expect to start painting the car tonight. There is still 1 more car to check out belive me its the best of those 3.

Now I dunno what to say, last but not least or I saved the best for the end.
Chose which ever phrase you want since the next car is a freaking surviver.Its a 1981 Toyota Corolla AE86 Levin Coupe.


This car was used for rallying and was retired afther 2 years, the cars old engine has died and just like in initial d the car just dissapaired afther a massive wining streak. now 33 years later afther its retirment someone found it in a garage locked up, he bought it and came to my cousns shop to ressurect the car. I will clean the car to the bare metal, and do a full paint job as they did in the 1980s (cause the customer want to keep it stock since the car survived 33 years whitout modifications), then I am going to install a modern susspension for the car and install the engine that will arrive. Afther that gonna assemble the car and return it to its owner. I will do a update later on those 2 cars how they turned out. Cause this is a thread about my garage I wont post every car that gets in the garage, just those interesting once.
