I have a (slightly 😂) stupid idea, that I'm going to build!

Say hello to Sidequest Garage club! 🔧🛞

We design and build websites, apps, brands and digital systems. The profit funds the purchase of an older car or motorcycle, its mechanical restoration, a full interior and exterior detail, and thoughtful tech upgrades that bring it up to 2026 standards without ruining its original character.

The plan is to restore them mechanically, revive the interiors and bring them up to date with modern technology, design and carefully selected parts, without ruining what made them special in the first place.

Every euro, part, hour, mistake and breakdown goes public, documented by in house video team. ☝️

@jasonlbeggs Awesome, thanks! I've sent you a DM.

Everyone who supports the build becomes a participant.

This includes clients who commission a website, app, brand or digital system, partners who contribute parts or services, and individuals who directly support the project.

Every verified contribution is recorded and grants participation in the final giveaway.

Phase 01: Find the right car

The purchase price must stay below €9,000.

Before buying, the car gets a full inspection covering the engine, cooling system, suspension, brakes, bodywork, electronics, service history and signs of accident damage.

A cheap car with major hidden problems is not a good deal. The priority is finding the strongest possible base within the budget.

Phase 02: Baseline and mechanical restoration

Once purchased, the car gets a complete diagnostic and service baseline.

This may include:

Fluids, filters, spark plugs and ignition components
Cooling-system inspection
Brake and suspension work
Tyres and alignment
Battery and charging-system check
Repairs to leaks, warning lights and common faults

Safety, reliability and drivability come before visual upgrades.

Phase 03: Full interior and exterior detail

The interior gets fully stripped, cleaned and restored wherever possible.

Seats, carpets, plastics, trim, headliner and ventilation are deep-cleaned. Damaged or heavily worn components are repaired or replaced.

The exterior receives paint correction, trim restoration, headlight restoration and protection. The aim is to bring back the original condition, not hide problems.

Phase 04: Bring it up to 2026 standards

Modern technology will be added carefully, without destroying the BMW’s original character.

Possible upgrades:

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Digital cluster
Reversing camera
Improved audio
USB-C charging
Discreet phone integration
Updated lighting where legal and appropriate
Security or tracking system
Small quality-of-life improvements

Every upgrade must look intentional and fit the car.

Phase 05: Final testing

The BMW will go through an extended road-test period before completion.

Any remaining faults, noises, warning lights or usability issues will be addressed. The final car should be reliable enough to use every day, not simply look good in photographs.

Phase 06: Give it forward

Once the build is complete, the finished BMW will be either:

given away to one participant, or auctioned, with the proceeds going to charity. The final format will be selected before the build reaches its last stage.

Full transparency

The public build dashboard will show:

Purchase price

Every part and invoice
Labour hours
External services
Problems and mistakes
Partner contributions
Total project cost
Final value and charity result
No fake budget. No hidden costs. No pretending everything went according to plan.

Old BMW. New chapter. Full transparency.

Designed and built the complete digital ecosystem for Vuma Tech, a device repair company with two physical locations.

This went far beyond designing a website.

I also designed and developed:

• A custom admin panel
• A PWA for internal and mobile use
• A proprietary content management system
• A custom store-management backend
• An in-house analytics system for tracking website activity
• Full localization in three languages
• Automatic country and language detection for international visitors

We are also developing a system that detects the user’s device and phone brand when they visit the website. The goal is to shorten the journey from landing on the site to selecting the correct repair.

Instead of forcing users to search through dozens of options, the platform will increasingly understand what device they are using and guide them toward the relevant service.

Every part of the system was built around one objective:
Make getting a device repaired as simple as possible.

Built a bold new identity for THUMP ROOM BAR.

The goal was simple: make it feel loud before the music even starts.

Heavy typography, raw black-and-white visuals and one sharp yellow accent, designed to work across signage, posters, cups and social media.

The wireframe defined the strategy before any visual decisions were made.

The hero establishes the offer, key actions and credibility immediately. Selected projects appear early because real work builds trust faster than a long introduction.

The services section stays simple and scannable, while the following sections explain what actually differentiates the company: precision, coordination and accountability.

In the final design, real project photography replaces placeholders and turns the structure into proof.

The dark palette reflects the industrial environment, white typography creates strong contrast, and the small green accent guides attention without adding unnecessary noise.

The layout stayed almost identical from wireframe to launch.That’s the point: the design phase improved the experience instead of trying to rescue a weak structure.

[metod @iametod]

Wireframe → final product.

Same structure.
Better hierarchy, stronger visuals and real proof of work.
This is why wireframes matter before styling anything. ↓

@fabiuix @liutauras_liu @kosta4a Always man, I think a lot more people should learn and take inspiration from you. 🤝

@jmsbaduor @mintlify Awesome opportunity. I would like to join in.

The design decisions behind NutraVault:

The black packaging creates a premium, performance-focused foundation and helps the products stand apart from the bright, overly natural look common in vegan nutrition.

White condensed typography gives VEGAN PROTEIN the strongest hierarchy. The product can be recognised quickly, even from across a shelf or inside a crowded online store.

Each flavour receives one accent colour; orange, green, pink or gold. This makes variants easy to distinguish without weakening the overall brand consistency.

The outlined VAULT typography runs vertically along the packaging, adding movement and creating a recognisable visual device that can extend across the entire product range.

The monogram combines the letters N and V into a compact symbol designed to work on packaging, apparel, social profiles and smaller brand applications.

Icons communicate the important benefits quickly:

Vegan.
24g protein.
Plant-based blend.
Premium formula.
No artificial colours.
The system is intentionally modular. New flavours and future products can be added by changing the accent colour and supporting details and not redesigning the entire identity.

The goal wasn’t to make vegan protein look soft or overly healthy.
It was to make plant-powered performance feel powerful.

[metod @iametod]

Most supplement brands compete by shouting louder.

More claims. More colours. More visual noise.

For NutraVault, I built the opposite: a vegan performance brand that feels serious, clean and strong, without pretending to be another pharmaceutical company.

One system. Five flavours. Instant recognition.

Here’s the thinking behind it ↓

@shahidux Nice!
