Johann finally came across a Corsair, however, it was extremely rusted. Needless to say, he still started work on it. However, luck struck when Johann found a one-owner car that was in a much better condition. Then, the whole process started, as everything had to be moved over from the rusted car to the one in better condition.

Enter Barry Ashmole from Stellenbosch, Cape Town. He is definitely no stranger to rodding, having been introduced to it by none other than Harry Corbett back in the mid-eighties, Barry brings a very different (some may say opinionated if they are being kind) approach to what is right, and wrong with the way we have always done things.
