We’re Back for 2026 | New Project Truck + Porsche Updates + What’s Coming Next

We’re back — festive season’s done, the workshop is awake again, and Restoration Weekly is kicking off 2026. We took a few weeks off videos to catch the primary business up to speed, then sat down and mapped the year properly… and it turns out we’ve got 16 videos in motion and we’re filming four in parallel to build real momentum. What’s in this episode 2026 reset: what we’re changing so the weekly videos have more substance (less rambling, more updates + progress) This Sunday’s video: a fun “called out over a drink” challenge where we had to commit and deliver 👀 (warm-up episode before the big build run) Project #2 is back: the ’55 Pickup (truck build) returns to the channel after ~3 years stalled Deep rust tech content: real-world rust from a paused project (perfect for the next rust deep-dive) Partner spotlight: huge thanks to DeBeer — and yes, we made the calendar 👌 New old tool score: the “custodian” story on the bandsaw (pattern shop → Andy’s Restorations → now here) Upcoming build-tech hybrid episodes: we’re starting to integrate the tech + supplier process inside the build story (not just “bolt-on parts”) Fuel tank episode coming: from cardboard concept → model → finished tank with a local partner Porsche 356/718 build: what’s blocking progress, what needs locking in next, and how we’re moving forward Off-site specialist episodes: continuing the door process in a specialist workshop The channel direction for 2026 We’re still keeping the big story of the builds — but we’ll be weaving in the materials, processes, equipment and specialist knowledge as we go (why we chose a method, what can go wrong, and what the alternatives are). If you’re here for learning real techniques and seeing how things get made, you’re in the right place.
