Mike from Eurowise Inc sent me emailed me the build of their shop car, a classic Audi Coupe GT sitting on some timeless BBS rims. Love that cross-stitched interior, it’s giving me ideas for my own car.

Not all of the builds I like and feature have to be huge feats in fabrication or difficult engine swaps, I like the simple builds too. Especially if it has been documented with quality photography and the end result is just a cool car. There’s something soothing to me about reading a build in which every photo posted is a pleasure to look at.

Come and see this humble EF Civic sedan be transformed from a rough grocery-getter into a slick little cruiser with some crazy wheel fitment.

I always thought of these Clubmans as the ugly duckling of the MINI range, until I saw this one. Does anyone else think that just about any car can look cool when its sitting on it’s rails?

Like i said in the Garage Re-Vamp post, it’s not just cars that get build threads. Another example of a non-car build thread is this guide on refurbishing a set of BBS RS Wheels on the Wheel-Whores Forum. If you have a keen interest in wheels (especially the multi-piece variety), make sure you head over and have a look around, you’ll find all the info you need and then some.

The full build thread has heaps of info on taking wheels apart, cleaning, polishing, and re-building:
