Most of these are a work in progress but I thought I would share them with you, I'm just a poor guy who blows everything he can lay his hands on, on cars...

The Mex.. 1760 Vulcan on 40s undergoing full resto.


The Cab, a 1984 Campaign 'All White', bought it in 1992, still got it.


The TVR 3000M, had a lot of work but needs cosmetics..


The ZXR, had a couple of Dukes etc but I keep this as I don't use the bikes so much now.


The Rangie, 95% of all miles I do in this does not involve tarmac!


The Campaign, a genuine Helios Blue, one of only 170, the last ever RHD Golf GTI mk1s to leave Wolsburg.


The 500 - nuff said.


The trackday project, a 16V building on a budget!

Trader policy cover most of it, the Chimaera is on it's own policy as the TP doesn't cover fibreglass cars.
The helios Mk1 needs it's own policy due to value, the trader's po;icy only covers you for trade value so I would get about £600 for a car worth closer to £5k. The Mex isn't on the road but is kept in an alarmed building with Police Red Care.

Trade policy £600, Chim £340, Golf £180, not bad when you consider my apprentice is paying a grand for a 1.2 Corsa!

Forgot the daily hack, the Mundano!

It was until I smashed it up!
Here it is on the jig..




Here is where we are now..


Whilst it's in bits decided to go over the car with a hammer and a screwdriver, it's obviously having a complete new front end as well as two sills, fuel tank trough, o/s floor pan and a passenger door for good measure. It makes you wonder how good some cars really are if you dig deeper?

Thinking of changing the colour scheme to yellow and black as I have laid my hands on some new fishnet Recaros with matching harnesses.

Proper petrolhead's collection - beautiful! Look forward to seeing that escort when it's finished, yellow and black sounds like a winning combination smile.
