Past Projects

Jaguar e-type 4.2

This is a Jaguar we built in a shop I co-owned in Japan: Garage Vintage. 
This car proved to be quite an attention getter all throughout Japan, and especially with many of our customers.
It starred in many magazines in the Pacific Rim such as the one seen below.

A long way from home

We bought this car in Orlando, FL with 475,000 miles on the odometer from the original owner, a retired Navy man. As we later found out it was held together with chicken wire, bondo, and good intentions. But the car had a rich history beyond it's imperfections. It traveled all across the country, seeing all 50 states thanks in part to the Navy which helped ship it to Hawaii and Alaska, all while towing an airstream trailer behind it. 

What followed next was an extensive campaign to resurrect this American classic. A full body restoration and engine and suspension overhaul has led to the beauty you see below.
It won multiple awards and was displayed in car magazines in Holland, where it now resides with our good friend and customer.

Cyprus convertable connection

This is a 1966 Ford Mustang I bought and restored for a customer from Cyprus, back in 2007. The car was featured in the Cyprus Top Gear Magazine in the year 2008. 

KEi Trucks

Back in 1994 we brought in two Nissan Skyline GTR's into the country in conjunction with our tuning shops RS Akimoto and Speed Factory.
The first car, a street car, made it's debut in the March '94 issue of Turbo magazine. 

The other car was a Nissan factory built race car. This was lent to us for data gathering purposes by NISMO Japan. We ran it in the 1994 Rolex 24 hour Daytona event.
Here are videos from the day of the test and tune, with shots from the pits, and an in car video of the car running running laps.
