Traditional build threads might be hard to find these days, but they do still exist. This NZ-dwelling Falcon Sprint converted into a race car is testament to that. In the build thread (located at the...
Would you rather drive a fast car slow, or a slow car fast? Brett opted for the latter, and ended up developing that slow car so much, that it became a fast car. Words and images by Brett Swain Follo...
I’m no audiophile, but I do like the option of listening to music while I drive. The problem with old cars is that old stereos suck, and new ones look out of place. Enter the answer to my problems; t...
Last year, I found myself approaching 40, and honestly feeling pretty strange about the impending milestone. What better way to deal with those complicated emotions than buy another project car! Intr...
While the writing has been on the wall for car forums for a long time, there are still a few people out there flying the forum flag for us tragics. One of them is a talented young bloke by the name o...
In the opening paragraph of my previous Project 510 update, I eluded to the fact that I’m in a bit of a refinement phase with the car, and that methodology continues to the undercarriage with some fr...
Jimmy Oakes is a guy I’ve been following on YouTube since around 2016 when he decided to film his LS1 300ZX swap. From there he never put the camera down and his channel has well and truly taken off....
Yes, yes, I know! “Another LS-swapped RX7!?” I hear you scream. I only need to say the names Hert, Vargas, and Dahm to explain that rotaries are the darling of the internet at the moment, and don’t g...
You might not know Brandon by his first name, but you might recognise his internet monikers, RVAE34 and RVAE38, a pair of labels tied to a number of high quality builds that have graced websites, for...
Not all heroes wear capes, some drink beer. In this strange situation we all found ourselves in (COVID-19, for anyone reading this in the future), most of us are turning to our digital devices even m...
With this site now into it’s tenth year, that means my ownership of Project 510 is into it’s 11th. In the early years I pushed hard to knock out a lot of the “big ticket” items, like wheels, suspensi...
While it’s not uncommon to have a few of the same build type appear on this site ( chassis-swap, anyone?), one style that I didn’t think I’d double up on (letalone triple!), is the Zakspeed Escort, b...
After a slow couple of years things are happening in the garage again! Hint: The seats I fitted in my last interior update are no longer in the car. Expect a full update once it’s complete.
Sweden; where else would you find someone building an M60 V8 (twin turbo, of course) powered BMW M1 Group 5 replica? The owner/builder has already built an AWD Turbo V8 Volvo Amazon that was complete...
Well this one is waaaay over my head, so I’m just going to spit out some facts from the build thread: 1984 Ferrari 308GTS qv 5.4l V12 swap from a Ferrari 400i Testarossa 4-valve heads Head stud locat...
I can’t believe I’m writing this, but today marks the 10th anniversary of the first post on Build-Threads.com (although back then it was buildthreads.wordpress.com ) I’d had the idea in my head for a...
Let’s kick off 2019 with something a bit different, shall we? How about a bitchin’ 70s van made for drift car towing duties – with more style than a Tacoma or F-truck could ever dream of. It gets a m...
A few minutes ago, I don’t even know what a Subaru Justy was. But now I can tell you that it’s a small, light hatchback and would be a pretty great recipient to have the innards of a 4.6L Mustang Cob...
For the past year or so, I’ve been driving a 1-hour commute to-and-from work, so naturally I started seeking out some great automotive podcasts to listen to. I’ve been following Kris Clewell around t...
It’s no secret that I’m an avid reader of The Garage Journal. You’ll find that most of the garage builds on this site come from that very forum. One thing I love about GJ threads is that once the act...
InZanity is a build by fabricator/artist/magician, Kyle Kuhnhausen. No stone has been left unturned, with pretty much every part hand fabbed by the man himself, with styling inspiration from Rampage ...
After a short hiatus, Build-Threads.com is back online! Thank you to everyone who messaged me while we were in our downtime phase. It appears the site was attacked through some old and outdated theme...
Has it been a year already? Wow! Definitely a slower year for posts, with not only my personal circumstances changing (new job + new arrival in the family), but also the dreaded Photobucket scandal p...
I’ve said this before, but it’s the humble yet amazing DIY garage builds that truly encompass the mantra of this website, and it’s a sentiment that Greg, the owner of this Swift, agrees with. His wor...
Never underestimate the power of the internet! A short while back, I sent some Build-Threads stickers over to one of my favourite YouTubers, Home Built By Jeff for his mailbag segment ( here’s a scre...
