72 - RHD Devon no welding

52 - Just a bit of welding!!!!

[Tofufi]

I've never sold a car, but this is my first one bought in 2005...

I'm still feeling withdrawal symptoms as I've not driven it for almost a year..

It has gone through a phase of looking like this...

And is now beginning to look like a whole car again (following new sills, floors, 4 complete 1/4 panels, bulkhead, etc etc.

using...

Just needs me to finish uni exams, finish the welding, get it to the paint shop and paint it myself
Should be on the road again by the end of the year

 

[windsurfer]

Got in trouble for my last post so here are some of my 'other' rides :lol:
Old Skool BMX

Poser mobile, not really me but it was FAST!

I loved this T4, took it round Ireland with my Windsurfing/surfing equipment and my dog!

Honda XR250, I thought I was really extreme until I knackered my shoulder on it

My Surf

Not many VW's but they were all cool (to me) in their own way.

[Danbury Doug]

Here are most of mine....

First up, my old daily.... for 15 and a half years and 200k mles! My diesel Escort Combi van. Fabulous little van, and I miss it.

The rest were my 'Sunday' cars!

Three Escorts to start with, two Mk4s and one MK3. All three were low mileage showroom condition cars....

Then my bays....

My first one, a lovely, original '74 Devon. Had her nearly nine years.

And then my '74 ex-firebus. Original paint and like new, with only 6k miles on the clock.

And finally my Minis, both Morris woody Travellers, the first a Mk1 '63 with floor start, and the second a MK2 '67. I currently have another Mk1.
