Backyard Builds

At first glance, these cars look like unfinished junk and with some really nice wheels. But stare at it for a little while, ask yourself why, stare some more, and all of a sudden, it all sort of makes sense. These are drift cars… duh, like you wouldn’t have known and they like it DIRTY.

The dirty duo who own these awesome drifters is a fabricator and a body/paint specialists of OZ Designs in Vancouver, Canada. They obviously specialize building drift cars that love going sideways. The unfinished 35% blue 240 is owned by their fabricator, Chris Scremin, and the 20% red, 40% white, 40% black 240 with some funky looking hood paint is owned by their body/paint (no brainer there) specialist, Steven Thompson.

They were hard at work getting these machines ready for a drift event this weekend. And before you say ‘weak sauce’ about the custom multi-stage color configuration, we were told that these cars will be painted during the winter season and will be finished for the BC drift circuit.
