They say a bakkie is just a tool — something built to work, to carry, to move.
But that idea disappears the moment you hear the story of Poeksie.

What started as a mechanical failure quickly turned into a full custom build—driven by persistence, creativity, and a clear vision to create something completely different. This 1990 Pajero Gen 1 project is not just a restoration; it’s a transformation into a one-of-a-kind pickup designed to stand out.

There’s something special about a car that refuses to be boxed into one category. It’s not just a performance build. It’s not just a daily. It’s not just a weekend toy. This is one of those rare machines that comfortably handles school runs, grocery trips… and then casually lines up to run low 12s down the quarter mile.

And somehow, it does all of that without losing its sense of humour — because not many builds can say their previous engine gave up its life while buying hotdog rolls.

There’s a certain magic when old-school steel meets modern ingenuity—and this Datsun GX Coupé is a perfect example of that harmony. Built high in the hilltops of Zululand, this one-of-a-kind creation stands as a proud representation of local craftsmanship, patience, and vision. Over the course of two years, what began as a classic platform evolved into a bold, head-turning machine that bridges eras without losing its soul.

There’s a big difference between building something and buying it. Anyone can swipe a card and drive away with something impressive—but building it yourself, from the ground up, with your own hands and vision? That’s where real pride lives.

This Volkswagen Caddy panel van started out like any other—plain, practical, and built for work. But over time, it transformed into something far more meaningful: a rolling testament to passion, patience, and a shared love for sound.

This isn’t just a modified Caddy — it’s a full-blown engineering statement. Built with precision, purpose, and performance in mind, this AWD turbocharged monster blurs the line between street car and race car. Every component has been carefully selected and integrated to create a machine that delivers brutal power, relentless grip, and razor-sharp control.

There are builds… and then there are creations that completely rewrite what a car was ever meant to be. This Mk3 Cortina bakkie conversion, now known as TheCPTCortina, falls firmly into the latter category—a machine that blends ingenuity, raw craftsmanship, and a bold vision into something truly unforgettable.

Not every great build starts in a pristine garage with a blank cheque. Some begin exactly like this one did — rough, worn, and overlooked. But where most people would’ve seen a project too far gone, this owner saw something else entirely: potential.

Back in 2016, the car was far from what it is today. It wasn’t clean, it wasn’t fast, and it definitely wasn’t turning heads. But it had the one thing that matters most in any proper build — a solid foundation and the promise of something more.

There’s something undeniably special about a classic American pickup — especially one that’s been brought back to life with purpose, precision, and respect for its heritage. This 1958 Chevrolet Apache is exactly that: a carefully executed restomod that blends timeless styling with modern performance and reliability.

Priced at R950,000, this is not just a vehicle — it’s a statement piece for someone who understands craftsmanship, rarity, and the true cost of doing things properly.
