The project was never just about building a car—it was about building something far more meaningful between a father and his son.

What began as a shared passion evolved into countless hours in the garage, late nights filled with problem-solving, laughter, and the steady rhythm of tools meeting metal. Together, they transformed a vision into reality: a powerful machine pushing out an impressive 610 horsepower. It stood not only as a testament to engineering and dedication, but also to the bond they had strengthened along the way.

In July 2021…
everything changed.

Ta’ren Ramsaroop, founder and director of Deutsche Auto, had built his dream on precision, passion, and power.

But in a matter of days, that dream was nearly erased.

What started as a simple, unassuming daily driver would soon transform into a head-turning build fueled by passion, persistence, and the love of automotive culture.

In 2009, Edward du Preez got behind the wheel of his Renault Clio 3 2.0 Sport—a car that, at the time, was completely standard. Like many enthusiasts, it began as nothing more than a practical vehicle for everyday use. But for Edward, “standard” was never going to be the final chapter.

In the streets of Vereeniging, a familiar icon has been reimagined into something far from ordinary. This 1994 Citi Golf is not just another restoration — it’s a carefully crafted transformation that pays tribute to the old-school Rabbit shape while adding its own unique character.

This 2006 Opel Corsa Ute stands as a testament to patience, precision, and a deep passion for custom builds. What started as a simple project four years ago gradually evolved into something far more refined, with continuous upgrades shaping it into the standout vehicle it is today.

The story of Blackwolf didn’t start as a brand.
It started with a passion.

Back in 2024, the journey began with the purchase of a black Ford Fiesta ST. At the time, it was just another hot hatch on the road — but to its owner, it was something more. A deep appreciation for performance cars made the Fiesta ST the perfect choice, offering a balance of power, agility, and personality.

It was small, quick, and full of character — the kind of car that brings excitement with every start.

What started as a completely stock Nissan 350Z has evolved into one of the most unique builds in South Africa — a Twin Turbo LS2-powered drift machine built through passion, persistence, and countless hours in the garage.

This project has been two years in the making. Like many serious builds, it began with a simple vision: take a solid platform and turn it into something extraordinary. The Nissan 350Z is already known for its balanced chassis and strong performance potential, making it a popular choice among drifting enthusiasts. But the goal for this build was far more ambitious than a typical performance upgrade.

For many car enthusiasts, building a project car is a dream. For some, it becomes a lifelong passion. For this dedicated builder, what started as a bare shell in a garage in 2005 turned into a fully built, race-ready classic that reflects years of patience, skill, and dedication.

This is the story of a Ford Escort MK1 2-door, built bolt by bolt by a passionate enthusiast who has now become a pensioner, but whose love for classic performance cars continues stronger than ever.

On the rugged coastline outside Cape Town, where off-road culture and craftsmanship meet, a truly unique vehicle was born. This extraordinary machine, known simply as Thor, is not your typical Jeep Wrangler. It is a fully customised 3.6-litre V6 six-wheel Wrangler, transformed from a brand-new vehicle into a commanding, purpose-built machine designed for both everyday driving and serious adventure.

Thor’s story begins with a 2024 Jeep Wrangler, delivered brand new with only 204 km on the clock. From the moment it arrived, it was destined for something far beyond factory specifications. The owner entrusted the project to Two Old Dogs Customs, a specialist custom shop located on the West Coast just outside Cape Town, known for their passion for unique builds and meticulous craftsmanship.

Over the course of two intense months, the team at Two Old Dogs Customs completely reimagined the vehicle — turning a standard Wrangler into a head-turning six-wheel powerhouse.
