My name is Patrick, I spend my days doing a variety of different style of projects, everything from campervan builds, home diy, auto restorations and repairs with a dash of travel to top it off. My background is in construction but I've been obsessed with cars and motorcycles since I was a baby. Stay with me as I work my way through the thought process right through to the completion of many different types of projects and fixes. Links to my instagram accounts below.

OUR BIG MOVE!! California to Sligo, Ireland!!
We finally did it! After years of planning, we packed everything in to a big shipping container and headed off into the sunset. Two terriers in tow. What an adventure its been so far, and it's only really beginning.
I haven't been posting for the last two months but I have been filming some projects we've been knocking out. We're currently living at my childhood home that's been sitting empty for 26 years. It needs a bit of work but you'll see that in videos to come.
To be perfectly honest, the move took it out of us and we needed a bit of a sit down. We were very excited to see our shipping container showing up and we've had little to no breakage as of now, plenty more totes to open though.
Thank you for hanging in there for our little hiatus. Our tools are here so no stopping the projects now. Bring on the new year!!

Our California to Sligo move is well on the way. Some very large steps have been put in place and flights are booked. Time is chugging along nicely!! That first Guinness tho... its going to be well deserved. How fitting for Willows last proper drive in California to be a mad dash to the coast for a beautiful sunset. This was on my list for the last few months and I'm really happy we took the ti...

Well, we did it, we sold our house in preparation for our move to Ireland. Container is showing up in a few days and everything gets packed up, including my mini and a Honda trail90. Tie everything down, shut the door and send it on its way. What a journey it's been already and it really hasn't started yet. We've had a lovely time living here and it was an amazing property to weather the storm ...
We made it to Radwood!!

Well, we made it, got everything done to the van that I wanted to get done, and it made the journey in without a problem. leaving the show was another story..... Broke down right in-front of everyone leaving, how embarrassing lol. It's all part of driving old cars, right? Absolute stunner of a day in San San Francisco! great turn out and got lots of love on Georgie, our VW T3 Vanagon. Great sto...
84 VW T3 Vanagon, longer rear wheel studs and wheels.
มุมมอง 1.6K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
I install a set of longer wheel studs in our 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon T3 so I can screw on a lovely set of wheels to get Georgie looking sharp for Radwood!! This was the final step before the show. If you've ever wanted aftermarket wheels on your T3, T25, Caravelle, Transporter....... then you probably already know its not quite as easy as grabbing the wheels of your choice and putting them on. ...

Still working on our van in preparation for Redwood SF 2024. Ive a few more bits to sort out before then but definitely making progress. I really wanted to change out the springs for the newer model Vanagon carat springs. they just ride much smoother and make the van handle much more like a car. The springs lowered my 84 van by 1.5 inches so it looks a lot nicer also, well, in my eyes anyways. ...

I've Just signed up to bring our 84 Vanagon to Radwood in San Francisco on July 20th. Ive never actually brought a car, or van for this matter, to a show before, so this will be an experience. Georgie is far from a show car but I still think it'll be great to bring him in to SF to hang out with cars his own age. I've a list of things I'd like to do before the show so I figured I'd bring you alo...
New wheels on my 1966 Austin Cooper S!!
มุมมอง 1.4K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Just a quick wheel install. It took me a while to finally settle on a wheel style for Willow and really? Is there anything better looking than a fresh set of Minilite wheels and Yoko Advan A032R? Classic sporty car look to let people know you mean business! They really transformed the look and I'm stoked on them. Ran into a bit of a hang up with the center caps, they just don't seem to fit, way...
I FINALLY got to do some first drives in my Mk1 Cooper S

Willow, my 1966 Mk1 Austin Cooper S returns from the shop with a new headliner, new windshield, fresh set of twin SU carburetors installed and tuned and I finally take him for a few rips! I really thought my first drive video would have been about five months ago, time just really got away from me. Even though it's later than I thought, that doesn't make it any less exciting. He was fully dyno ...

Time has come to do something with the black walnut slab we've had knocking around the garage for the last few years. This is actually a very simple yet rewarding project that anyone can handle with simple tools and a weekend's worth of dust. No planer was used in this one so if you have access to a drill, sander, wire wheels, and some legs you're sorted. Full list of tools used listed below. D...
My 1966 Austin Mini Cooper S gets some bumpers and trim. OOO Shiny!!
มุมมอง 7K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
Ive been frantically trying to empty shelves and install parts before our big move. Way easier to move a car with parts on it, than a car filled with boxes of parts. At least I'll know where they are when we arrive. Willow is sitting pretty these days with his fresh new bumpers, overriders, grill and badges. The bath and the sunshine was really needed!! Still quite a few loose ends to button up...
1966 Austin Mini Cooper S gets door and boot seals!

I'm clearing shelves to see where I stand with what parts I have vs what I still need to buy. I'm really enjoying seeing them empty and more parts screwed onto Willow. There was a mountain of boxes and bags there for a few months! Installing the weatherstripping wasn't hard at all. As with everything, take your time and think it through. I charged right in on the boot lid seal and installed it ...
MK1 Cooper S Engine install part 2, FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!

I was really hoping to turn the key and hear Willow, my MK1 Austin Mini Cooper S, roar to life..... We ended up searching for bad grounds then figured out the ignition switch wasn't working correctly, it wasn't triggering the electric fuel pump to send fuel to the carburetor. After all that was sorted, we finally had our moment of triumph!!! Something I've learned, first fire without an exhaust...

My dad comes over to help me lower the engine into the engine bay of my MK1 Cooper S. I'm very happy to have had the second set of hands during this, I really didn't want to scratch or dent anything at this stage in the rebuild. My garage isn't the biggest so I opted for a ceiling mounted winch to save on floor space. It didn't lower the engine as smoothly as I would have liked but it did get t...
