One young man, One old car. Endless enjoyment

Saturday 7 May 2011

all in the image

As some of you may already know, I have been bitten by the photography bug. not a recent thing, But dating back to 6th form when i first picked up a digital camera and started learning. the bug stayed with me so i purchased my own DSLR. A Canon 1000d to be exact. Taking this, i can now combine my two hobbies together. over time i will be bringing you updates on things and try to capture them in a photograph so juuuuust in case you do not quite get what im trying to say, or don't actually care what i have to say, you can just look at the hopefully well presented image.


As well as taking photos of my cars, I also enjoy going to events of the Motorsport kind and taking photos of other people having fun, not only because i enjoy it, but also because when your driving you really can't take photos of yourself, meaning you have nothing to remember the day with. and lets face it, everyone loves a bad ass photo of their car. So if you see me at an event and i have my camera, come say hi i will gladly take a photo of your car in return for a thank you. 


I also like taking photos of random car stuff that i see or have lying around, Be it car parts, panels, wheels or workshops. If i think it will make a good  image i will take a shot at it. or of it. For the first few blogs associated with my AE85 you will be seeing and/or reading about the things coming out, and going in to the car so expect some more detailed shots of parts or lack of parts.


The AE is finally getting emptied of all the parts that were in it and the air con unit is out and the motor ready to be pulled out, Next up, i have to decide if i will be keeping the fiberglass widebody dmax guards, or sell them and either get new ones, or spend the money on some fiberglass doors. Another decision to make is to paint, or not to paint the carbon bonnet. Its nice and all, but its not overly period correct. my wheels need to be widened at some stage, and on that note the wheels that were on the corolla, a super rare, jdm as set of Bilbo wheels measuring 14x6 inches with a +15 offset were pulled off, steam cleaned and polished soon to be sent off to a new home, a nice silver 4AGE KE70 corolla.

Keep an eye out for some pictures when  they are fitted to the car. im sure they will be a damn sight better than the 17 inch fwd offset not so niceness currently fitted to the car. he will be pulling the bitches in no time.

jdm fo lyfe

yours truely,
tofu man
