What other projects do you have on the go?

[uber cool]

Other than your bay do you have any other car related projects?
I've got 2 other projects, a Autotest Polo (red one) blown engine (as in broke, not super charged), been awaiting 12 months in my mum's garage for some TLC and my EB trailer that needs finishing.

Not enought time in the day ! :roll:
I should try the polo down the drag strip, that should be fun,

Guess the white one is a Mini (a real Longbridge one) looking at the dash! I don't have another project as such, but do have a Laverda 650 Sport to move on, been sat in my garage for about 4 years now. Could use the space and the money.....

Hey!

I have a Laverda 650 Formula C sat in the garage, that i am working on too, do you need any bits?
I had a friend in P'Boro who had a yellow 650 some years back. Think it was P reg - may be the same?
As rare as they are, they aren't worth a lot unfortunatly. I know a dealer who buys perfect runners and breaks them for spares!! :shock: He's broken at least 5 Formula's that i know off!

Cheers!

I have this '73 that I should finish up this week or next, but I won't keep it , it will be up for sale right away. I am currently fitting new correct '73 only mustard cloth seat covers, and it is getting a new pop top canvas.

I also just bought this '78 7 passenger automatic bus, in very good shape that I will pick up this weekend , but I'm sure there will be something I will have to replace or fix, isn't that always the case?

I will try to stick with earlybays, but sometimes a good deal cannot be passed

i also have a 1965 chevrolet corvair (aircooled flat six) rear engine beast was going to be a lowrider project.
its all bare metal and has been for 2 years may sell may keep who knows :?: :!:

Not so much a project as a new daily that needs some work. A landrover discovery 200TDi which, as with most british built cars, needs a tickle with the Mig welder :lol:

 

[61 stu]

I have a69 bug, 2 owners, driven across africa in 69/70 imported to uk in 70. 1st owner to 2003, next owner used it for a year or 2 then put it in a garage where it sat until 2 weeks ago. got reciepts from 70 til 2003, various letters and photos. needs lots of welding, plan to do all structual stuff, upgrade brakes, check suspension etc and try to leave body as close to what it is now and run her as arat/patina ride. will try to put some pics up later.

That looks like a serious drive from where you live Juan!

 

[ib-bus]

Not that far, remember that from San Diego, we can be at the mountains in less than 3 hours,(Big Bear) we also have desert, valleys, and of course the ocean all within an hours drive 8)
That was a picture taken last winter, it looks very nice and very little work needed.
Oh! and that deluxe trim arrived last week, and is just perfect, thanks again for the contact information, Cheers.

corvair

It was 25 years ago so if it is, I would be suprised :shock:
It was silver at the time, I do have some pics but I dont have a scanner,
You got any?

 

[ice man]

no pics it was white when i got it ..JNP 679C is the reg 8)

 

[T2-Nate]

Got a '93 Mini 1300 British Open awaiting a pain job and a mild stage 1 tune-up.
here's some pics of it in it's current state:

It needs the offside front wheelarch and part of the nose replaced because the PO crashed it, sold it to a ****** who had it fixed by and then got into an argument with a welder who then proceeded to whack a dent into the newly but poorly replaced fender.
Soooo I got It fairly cheap with just 40000 km on the clock.

Before my camper became an obsession i was a mini man, had 4 in total and every now and again i still frequent the mini forums (TMF, minifinity) but now i have a family there just not practical. Do think maybe 1 day i'll have another and go 1430cc engine, straight cut gearbox, sportspack wheels and arches, but then again......

 

[Tofufi]

My '66 beetle...

Been off the road for 14 months now.

I have replaced all 4 quarter panels replaced, like so...

...as well as new sills (heater channels), floors, engine bay side and front, front and rear valences, front bulkhead, rear crossmembers, etc etc. Remember Triggers broom?

And now looks something like this

I just need a couple more weeks and I reckon the welding will be done. Then I can move on to the paint

 

[uber cool]

I used to be a mini man too. Had about 4 myself, last one was a 1964 cooper a with full cage and a 1380 engine. Got exported to USA. Last mini I had was the White one in the pictures above
