Rusty cage.
Been on big ups lately, but going out west to to inspect the sad state of the ZEN R32 GT-R was a massive downer. I’ve got no-one but myself to blame for the state it’s in. Not being one to hide anything, here’s a vid showing the rust damage in all it’s glory.
Our new Melbourne based ZEN contributor Curt Liddell’s first feature is now up on ZEN Blog! So stoked that he shot WTAC in black & white (my kinda guy!), so sorry he got defected by NSW police!

My wingman for the day.
2 door goodness.
22B!
Nick and I were invited out to SubiNats at Sydney Motorsport Park yesterday. I’ve not been to an automotive event in years! Was a rad day out, and a perfect excuse to take a few shots with my new 85mm lens (which I really struggled with as you can tell with some of the super tight framing).
Full feature will be on ZEN Blog soon!

Nick has inspired me to soft launch ZEN Garage again, pretty awesome as I’ve had no motivation to do so despite so many people asking for ZEN products and stuff.
He’s starting to contribute to the blog (which was all me and my depressing depression shit for ages), and is working on new community related projects as well as getting the ZEN shop going again (pretty excited for this as I really want some new ZEN hoodies for myself!).

The Matrix has me.
So stoked to have @therealnickturner help me to document the restoration of my R32 GT-R. He’s just created this little teaser video of our trip out west to check out the car and in typical Nick fashion, it fucking rocks!
You’ve come a long way, baby. Once upon a time we were unloading a container of XXR wheels, now it’s Voltex.
Hello Nasty, where you been?
Sad but true.
Went out west to get the ball rolling on restoring the GT-R today, and I’m left with a mixed bag of emotions.
On the one hand I was excited to see the car again, but the hard reality of seeing the rust (in the usual places, around the windows etc.) hit pretty hard.
I’ve got no-one to blame but myself for letting it get this bad in the first place, so I have no choice but to be AOK with it. This is no spray job, it’s a full metal restoration.
Plenty of time, no deadline. Baby steps.
Spotted an illustration of my GT-R on a cushion cover for sale on Redbubble. Kinda had to have it!
Dropped in to the opening of Donut Garage in Marrickville this morning. Great vibes. Awesome donuts!
