25.01.2022 I bought a stainless exhaust system off a customer some time ago. Been sitting in the shed , so time to get it on the xy. Was just going to bolt it on , but i thought i would give a test polish. So a few hours later system looks brand new. Tail pipes still need to be polished , doesn't make it sound any better , but even if no one see's it I know you know. The old system was HPC coated but it started to get surface rust on it. I sprayed it with heat proof aluminum paint. Stainless is the go.

13.01.2022 Anyone think that i don't trust freight companies to get parts delivered without damage. Next level packaging for me , custom made crate for transport. 2 x bubble wrap each bonnet. Need to screw in place some stays to stop movement and be ready to go , off to NSW.

12.01.2022 Short video of 67 mustang bonnet. Raw carbon finish. Thinking I need a raw carbon bonnet for my xy .

12.01.2022 Short video of carbon parts to finish off friday.

12.01.2022 Here is a little project that i have been toying with for about 4 years. I made the hull in 2016 a copy of a MHZ114 . This is a full carbon fibre lay up on the hull and fibreglass on the hatch. Put it in the shed for 3 years until i got the bug to start building it. Modified the rear to suit the rudder and drive units , this was a fair bit of work . Full white respray over the gelcoat , and then went to this multi colour paint scheme. I wanted to do something odd , instead ...of a symmetrical paint scheme. Picked up a pair of motors (40/92 1650kv)and speed controlls (220 amp ). Need a set of props and some batteries and finish set up. Should be quite capable of 100kph. See more

12.01.2022 Working on a saturday , and recieve these photos from pat. I made this bonnet some months back. Anyone who knows pat and this car can appreciate his workmanship. To me this speaks volumes that i provide a solid platform for the next guy that works on prep to paint on 1 of my products. I am a xy guy , but xr xt's are a big little brother to xy when build like this.

11.01.2022 Here another RX3dash being infused

11.01.2022 I made these intrusion bar infill panels earlier in the year , received a message this morning from peter . He is really happy with the fit and finish. Peter made mdf templates for me to work off. Safety and bling in 1.

11.01.2022 Bling and saftey for intrusion bars for promod. Double sided gloss raw carbon. Step 1.

10.01.2022 CTO3 67 inch catamaran infusion. Last job for the year.

10.01.2022 Last job for the year , fairlane bonnet with 2 inch cowl scoop. I use a 4 inch cowl svoop and cut it down , doing this the scoop needs to be lenghtend to fit the bonnet from the front. Scoop is laminated on both inside and outside and the inside if filled and smoothed with polyurathane foam and then laminated to give a better cosmetic finish. All the inner surface is finished with peel ply so no fibre pattern finish. Bonnet weighs 11.1 kg

10.01.2022 Happy father's day.

10.01.2022 Here is a 2 minute video on the carbon dry stacking on the fj holden front clip mould. This is roughly 9 hours of dry stacking so far , and a lot more still to do.

08.01.2022 Hey everyone , just wanted to say that as of this week i will need to focus on the workload i have booked in for the next few months. This will limit the amount of work that I can take on board up until xmas. I hope everyone understands that the booked in work has to come first. I also have some product development that i need to work on as well , as i have had to stop on this for the past few months. I am truly honoured to have such a great customer base that i have worked hard to achieve.Thank you for your support over the years, Cheers Mick

06.01.2022 Rebirth of a old catamaran , 18 year old cat i modified by cutting lenght out of it. Joined back together and preped for new moulds. All new moulds made with tooling gelcoat and vinylester resin . Full raw carbon fibre finish , all made by infusion process. Added some colour to the cat before topcoat clear as what the customer wanted. Weigh was about 5000 grams , customer has set up the cat with electric motors and has since reached speeds of 108 mph testing and setting it up.

04.01.2022 I had a mate send me a link to some moulds for sale , picked them up today. LH LX Torana bonnet / guards and nosecone moulds.

02.01.2022 Here's a repair project i did this week , carbon fibre injector hat. Back fire above the supercharger results in carnage to the hat. I preped both inner and outer surfaces to laminate the repairs. 2 layers of carbon on the outside and 3 layers on the inside with 50 mm of overlap onto each side of the join. I then preped the outer surface to skin the hat with 2 x 2 twill weave to give it a fresh finish. The aluminum butterfly bracket was removed and cleaned of fractured adhesive and carbon and rebonded in place.
