I can provide a variety of fabrication, machining, CAD and 3d printing prototypes for your needs.

Trying to branch out and make something for my self so let me know your idea and I may be able to help.

Since is so far away (10 days away) I thought it was a go idea to make a rear splined sway bar mount, I mean it was already on the hoist.

I am very happy with the design and that everything clears nicely and will work well to help keep this under control with the weight goal around 900kg and 250 horse power.

Now I have finished my prep (I feel like I have said this before) it’s time to pack things and enjoy the build up

With less than 3 weeks away thought it was time for a size comparison between the mazda and the ranger

The ranger is stock and has not been lifted or larger wheels & tyres fitted so if you really want a laugh at how small it is you will need to check it out in Taupo 7th of November

With Laid Out Atthelake approaching fast I wanted to put some effort into getting the mazda as presentable as I can and I was lucky enough to be able to take over one of the workshops so I could blow it apart clean it up and put white duropox on so it is now one colour for the fist time since owning it (14 1/2 years)

With all the glass in I was able to put the custom dash in and the seats so now with a sealed cab we are ready to load up in a few weeks and head to Taupo for another year

With just over a month away the prep was going well, panels were getting bolted on and lined up after all the modifications/repairs and the bonnet was latching closed.
Then I pulled the release cable and nothing, turns out the cable had popped off the latch so it would not release and if you know old mazda’s then you know the bonnet latches are up by the windscreen not the grill so with no access out came the trusty grinder to cut an access hole under the dash to be able to get to the latch.
The best part was there was originally a hole there for the heater that i had welded up and now cut back out, at least it now opens

I was asked by the New Plymouth bridge club to make some tag holders for the new storage boxes, they needed to be easy to change the id tags but also be very strong so they didn’t pop off or snap if they were pulled

If you have an idea get in touch and see if we can make it happen

Not sure if im heading in the right direction to make it to Laid Out Atthelake but im this deep might as well keep digging

How far away is Laid Out Atthelake again 🤔

29/08/2026

After a year of being worked on in the new house we finally moved the mazda down to the work shop to see how far I can get before Laid Out Atthelake in November

Hunter was a help pushing it onto the trailer and Letitia Corcoran just wanted to hit switches once we got to the workshop

Quick job on the Mazda today, I had a motorcycle tank filler laying around so turned it into an oil filler for the 13b

I think it fits in well with the old school vibe of the dash and other features
