My '75 2002 Sleeper

I love the look of a flared-out 2002 with wide meats tucked in there. ;)

Ugg, sorry guys. I wish I could come in here and dump a whole bunch of gratuitous fabrication porn and updates worthy of your admiration, but that just isn't the case. I have been making slow progress in a few area's, but overall there really isn't anything to show for it yet.

However, that leads me into some news that you will hopefully enjoy. For the past month my old roommate and myself (along with a few of our friends) have been getting back into making short films/stories. During this time I brought up the idea of making a kind of video documentary of the build and progress that goes along with it. We both agreed that it would be a fun thing to tackle.

So before the end of the year you can expect a new kind of update. For those that still like the old updates, I'll keep up with them (pictures and explanations), but I will also take the time to make a 2-5 minutes film about the progress that has been made, along with the though process behind things. Oh, and lots of cool in process shots of course.


Last but hopefully not least, I realize I don't deserve much from you guys which how I've neglected you these past few months. That being said here is the latest short film we finished.

We entered into a video contest, and one of the ways to win is popular vote. So please watch it, if you like it we would really appreciate it if you could vote for us. First place receives a really trick RED camera system, but even 5th place gets something, so every vote helps! And you can be assured that anything I win will be going to working on the car lol.

Thanks to all that voted.

No progress on the car this week, I've been fabricating some equipment for the shop (to use on the car!). I did want to share two things though.

First up, I made a facebook page for my "company" Tinker Engineering. For the time being it's mostly just a profile on my shop and personal projects that I have going on right now. In due time I'd like to develop a number of things for BMW's and Subaru's to offer to the public as well as service and modifications for vehicles.

Second, while I was browsing though my normal automotive forums I got a pretty big surprise. I've followed the posts on Build-Threads.com for a few years now, and I love going there to see the crazy stuff that comes out of Norway/Sweden/Finland etc (I think it must be something in the water up there). Low and behold the latest blog he featured was my little build! At first I didn't even realize it was mine lol, took a minute to sink in. You can find it here:

Pretty cool that Fiona's story/progress is getting out in the world. She's had a long journey so far, but there's still a ways to go.
