The return of the impact bumpers. This mild custom 911 is a personal project that marked the beginning of a lifelong passion for architect Hugh Feggans. Hugh's got plenty to say about this car and how the Porsche appeal is now a solid part of his life.
We spend a lot of time with the guys from Antique Tyres in Melbourne. Ben and the crew offer a premium service and there’s always a happy ‘Antique’ face at an event or show. So when I saw Tony’s Apache during a recent visit I was intrigued to ask him a few questions about it.
REAL STREET ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN
In part three, Andy runs us through the fabrication work that he's done to the car so far and lifts the body off to get started on the drivetrain.
In Tank Moto issue 09 you’ll find a story about the ‘99 Choppers’ Honda CBX750. I chose it as my pick of the show at Kustomfest 2015. My selection for a winner came down to two incredible bikes and the other contender for the prize was this bike, the Inspired Garage Triumph TR120.
I hit the Altona Truck and Trade Show at the weekend as it's just down the road from me. It wasn't a huge show, but there was a strong showing of custom trucks... Around thirty lined up around the edge of the park and another handful dotted out through the grounds.
In part two, Andy fabricates a lower quarter panel for the A Model. We see him go through various stages from cutting out the rusty panel through making a new panel and welding it in.
Last year I spent a bit of time on the west coast of LA. One of the folks I was lucky enough to spend some time with was Len Hig of Sleepers Speed Shop. As result of those couple of days with Len is this Fuel Tank TV double bill.
Needless to say, I fell in love with this thing and immediately posted it on the Fuel Instagram site. Within a few days, what looked like the same exact car was posted on Instagram by a friend of mine in Australia. So, there is a number ‘3’ Mickey Thompson tribute car running around the Melbourne area and it is owned by Anthony Darwin. Earlier this year, FM caught up with Anthony to find out a bit more history regarding his silver MT tribute Corvette.
The car will be built for and driven to the 90th Anniversary of the Ford Model A in Gulgong, New South Wales in May, a 2000km round trip. In this series, we follow the build all the way to tagging along with Duncan and Andy on the.... Road to Gulgong.

The Porsche 914 project has only been on Australian soil for a few months and she's already covering some solid ground...
The last day of the 2017 Japan trip! I was to fly out that night but I had one last visit to make. Randomly browsing through social media, I discovered the page of Hajime Kamata of One Street Motorcycles. There were a couple of things about Kamata-san’s feed that peaked my interest; His rusty-look VW ‘Volksrod’ and some cute BMW-style motorised bikes that he was putting together.

Tank Moto issue thirteen is (finally) in the building. Our cover bike for this issue is 'The Mongrel' by Return of the Cafe Racers. A collaboration between RotCR, Triumph Australia and KDS Designs, The Mongrel is a 2018 model Triumph T120 with a lot of love put in to it to make it what you can see here.
In November last year I was invited to go and check out what is noted as the world’s largest indoor classic Volkswagen event. Held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia every two years, JVWF is where all the Indonesian Volksie enthusiasts head to see the latest customs from all over the country.
I'm excited to show the first official Fuel Magazine Porsche 914 project car theme rendering. I did a few scrappy pen sketches in-house myself and then handed the concept over to pro-designer Pete Elliott who produced this stunning work of art. He certainly pulled off what I'm going for with the project.
