Local F1 car manufacturers unusual take on very unusual project
A Formula 1 car manufacturer based in Swindon has been given the unusual job of restoring a giant frog. EVTEC Superlight, a carbon fibre brand located in Stratton, Swindon, does a lot for automotive industry. Now, they have been asked to help restore a giant frog that was found at a local school.

He said: "We predominantly do F1 and motorsports along with aviation. We work with all the F1 teams other than Ferrari as they work in-house. "All the carbon fibre was sourced from us. 75 per cent of our business was F1 a few years back, but we have stepped back slightly as it is not overly sustainable. "We made the halo for McLaren cars and did the majority of the body work for Williams and engine work for Mercedes. "In the future, we are looking to get more into the aircraft industry with Airbus and Boeing. "We are now getting into the medical industry too and helping to build things that support emergency services."

The frog came to them in a bit of a state with an eye smashed in and its coat of paint almost completely rubbed off. The company will be looking to give the frog happier days ahead. On the frog: "It was a bizarre day, we had a gentleman come and knock on our door asking if we could help with his frog. "I thought he meant an actual frog at first and was very confused, but then he showed us a giant made from glass fibre. "We said we are happy to take it on and try to restore it over the next few weeks." The frog was found at Gorse Hill Primary School by a groundskeeper after he was doing some work to cut back shrubbery in the area. Paul Lewis, 78, found the frog and thought it could be put to good use and used as part of the outdoor décor at the school. He said: "I work as an assistant caretaker at the school and was there to help out and clear the vegetation and incessant growth of brambles. "I was clearing a corner out with Ken the caretaker and this great big frog that has been decorated with multiple colours. "All I thought was that this is too good to throw away. "I knew of EVTEC through the previous company that they used to be under called Retrack, and so I figured if I do not ask, I do not get." The frog will return to the school as a community project in the next few weeks once restoration is complete. It will be used as part of a natural area that is planned to have a community garden. The headteacher at Gorse Hill, Candida Hutchinson, explained why the outdoor area is so important to the school. She said: "It is a good place to be, and we want to be able to invite the community in more and have parents more involved. "The frog being reused is also a good message for children to recycle. "It will go in the playground near the wildlife area, and hopefully sort out a community garden, and we are asking for donations to get this started."

Gordie Howe International Bridge reaches major milestone as crews disassemble tower cranes
The Brief The Gordie Howe Bridge Project is nearing completion with an expected opening later this year. Crews reached a major milestone as they wind down construction, removing the massive tower cranes that helped build the spires. More work is underway, but much of the work is in the rearview mirror. (FOX 2) - One of the biggest projects in Detroit history is nearing an end with the finish line on the new Gordie Howe International Bridge in sight. The cranes that helped build the spires that anchor the massive cables that support the half-mile crossing have finally come down. Big picture view Almost a year since the U.S. and Canadian construction teams connected the bridge deck, meeting over the center of the Detroit River, crews are starting to wind down work on the new border crossing. Each side of the bridge was constructed with the help of a tower crane - one colored red on the Canadian side and the other colored blue on the U.S. side. Going up in 2020, they were finally taken down this year with the help of another crane. The Canadian side was deconstructed in May while the U.S. side was taken down in July, according to a newsletter from the group overseeing its construction. Work is expected to be done later this year with travel beginning in fall 2025. Constructing a bridge of this size requires thinking on a larger scale. Both cranes reached a final height of 797 feet by the time each bridge tower was complete. When they first went up, it took three days to assemble their base, climbing up as construction on the towers went on. They were disassembled in the opposite way, beginning at the top and lowered with the help of crawler cranes, according to a fact sheet. Dig deeper While the structure is nearing completion, there is still more work to do. When the bridge opens, it will serve as more than just a route over the border. It will provide paths for other forms of transportation like bikes. The pavement will also have special lighting and signage. Fire suppression, electrical, and drainage systems also need to be installed. The Source Photos and news releases from the Gordie Howe International Bridge project were used for this report.

VW Vows to Restore Classic Bus That Survived California Wildfires
The Palisades Fire that tore through southern California in January burned nearly 37 square miles of land and took 24 days to contain. It destroyed thousands of homes and businesses, while sparing others. Out of the chaos, a photo emerged showing a white-over-blue Volkswagen Bus that had somehow survived. The T2 didn't escape the fire unscathed, but now VW of America is working to restore the bus back to its former glory. The automaker announced today, on International Volkswagen Bus Day , that the restoration process has already started at its Oxnard Engineering Campus, about 35 miles northwest of the fire. That's where the automaker houses and maintains its historic vehicle collection. Photo by: Volkswagen The Associated Press photograph that circulated online capturing the blue Bus against a burned and charred backdrop showed off the VW's good side, which its owner, Megan Krystle Weinraub, had named 'Azul,' Spanish for blue. Weinraub told the AP at the time that she 'freaked out' and 'screamed' when she first saw the photo that showed the bus had survived. The passenger side received most of the damage. Its paint is peeling, the windshield is cracked, and there are burn marks on the door. Even the front signal light melted. But the Bus is now on the road to recovery. According to Volkswagen , the bus requires 'extensive mechanical fixes and bodywork to be fully operable,' and it should have the project completed by the end of the year. VW will share additional details about the restoration as it progresses, where we'll likely learn the full extent of the damage. Photo by: Volkswagen Hopefully it's not too bad. Judging from the photos, the classic people-mover is certainly worth saving.
