Dent Hero Dent Removal Day #3


This super clean 2 door STi was a personal import from the UK.


S2K, same colour as my old one.


Before.


After.


R34 GT-R. I still would really love one, especially one this clean.


I had a new ding on the drivers side door.


Got my bonnet done too.

Was a hot day in the garage, but once again, the Dent Hero blew our minds and managed to do some pretty hardcore guard repair this time around (from running wrong fitment as opposed to actually getting dents from everyday car life).

I took the opportunity to get more dings removed from my EVO IX. There were lots of small dents on my bonnet, and one (new) large one on the drivers side door. All repaired to perfection!

We had a pretty cool range of JDM rides pop in throughout the day too, of note a clean R34 GT-R, a nicely modified Mazda 3 and a super clean 2 door STi which was a personal import from the UK. More pictures on our new shop blog.

Field Trip


VIP arm bands.


9AM registration.


Beautiful Pages gave this frames print up as a giveaway on the day.


The audience filing in for the intro.


Nigel Buchanan blew everyone away with a live portrait of Jeremy Wortsman of The Jacky Winter Group.


Nanami was sketching away as usual!


Jason and Aleks were the official photographers of the day and they got right in there. I’m sure their coverage will be awesome.

So Field Trip was fucking awesome! No technical issues, the speakers were AMAZING and the vibe was electric all day. So much to take in, stocked up on enough inspiration to last me months! I’m exhausted, our team deserves a massive congrats for all the hard work. Official photos will be up soon!

Field Trip Set-up


We hired a van (instead of a truck) from Balmain rentals. I was pretty sure it was all going to fit in…


…just!!!


Zann wears a MailChimp hat. Probably the worst photo of Zann ever, lol.


The big screen! So rad.


Jeremy and Charlotte were already there setting up with the AV team.


We got busy putting a tote bag on ever seat.


Never want to see another tote bag ever again!!!

Damien, Zann and I got busy delivering tote bags for Field Trip today at the Seymour Centre, we’re almost ready for tomorrow, we’re psyched, it’s going to be awesome!

JDMyard Honda Show Off 2012


Zi’s DC2R. K20, TE37′s, Voltex, JDM front, fresh paint, it’s amazing. I’d have given this some awards if I could!


Jing’s DC5R, if you look at the reflection you can see our tent :)


Made me instantly miss my old TME.


And this made me realise I still want to own an E36 one day.


The Trophies.


These guys thought there was going to be an award for best dressed… lol.


John doing the raffle and awards ceremony.

JDMyard hosted the Honda Show Off 2012 today to celebrated their 10th anniversary. 10 years! That’s a massive feat. If it wasn’t for such passionate Honda enthusiasts like Zi and Yonas JDMST would never have existed, so I owe a lot to these guys.

The weather was hot, but a gentle breeze kept the punters (who came en mass!) cool enough. The boys had a massive store wide sale going on too, it was manic in the showroom. The Honda Show Off Categories included: Best Of Show, Best Engine Bay, Best Interior, Best Paint, Best Oldskool Pre 92, Best Stance, Best Hardparker, Best Engine Swap, Best Effort and Because Race Car and lucky me (or unlucky, depends on how you want to look at it!) got to be a judge on the day.

There were a billion photographers out and about so I’m sure a lot of amazing shots will be uploaded over the next week, for now, enjoy my snappy snaps and feature on Zen Garage: http://zengarage.com.au/2012/12/jdmyard-honda-show-off-2012/
