HPI Customs New Hire

[HPIcustoms]

Hey everyone,
First off I'd like to introduce myself, my names Evan. Most of you have already seen the recent updates I've made on here for HPI Customs along with the entire www.hpicustoms.com website and our web blog. We now have our HPI Customs profile up and running so I'll be continuing to post on here using this one from now on.

So a little about myself, originally from Northern Manitoba. Always been interested in cars (both muscle and import performance) since I was a little kid. I've been turning wrenches since I was 10 with my Uncles and Grandad, now 17 years... Most of which as a Ford Delearship Mechanic and in small shops including an auto-body shop and custom import shop.

My current personal projects are:
- 1993 right hand drive Subaru Impreza WRX GC8 with a 2.0L turbo boxer engine. Project is about 60% complete. I'm building this as my daily driver and weekend auto-cross warrior. Will be fully caged, partially gutted, plenty of carbon fibre and aero installed, along with LOTS of engine upgrades including a larger/ faster spooling turbo.

- 1947 Ford F-100 pickup truck. My plans are up in the air for this one as the only use-able part is the body (sat in a field for 40 years), thinking towards a full out rat-rod or a street-rod, either way both will be cool with a large crate engine, RB26DETT Skyline engine or especially if I decide to go with a diesel power plant.

And I'm still sourcing out a suitable platform for a custom "bobber" bike, hopefully get my hands on a '60s Triumph or an older Harley for that. And hopefully by the time I've finished those builds I'll have found a suitable 'Cuda or Bel-Air to build as a weekend cruiser.
I'll be sure to post a build thread on here once everything gets underway.

Cheers
- Evan @ HPI Customs
