Not really a what i've got, as more of a what i've had!

I'll only put the interesting ones up (well the ones i've actually got photos of)

1969 Commer PB Autosleeper

I loved this van, she was perfect, i wish i still had her










VW RatRod

As purchased:





Rust removed and resprayed (sorry no pics of that process)






BMW 2002







Smoothed off and prepped for paint






Only pics i have of her painted





Early chrome bumper, aircooled Fiat 126






£100 budget drag car

Take a £20 Fiat Panda and add a free Civic




Do some of this



Add a pinch of this





Then it got nicked...  End of that!


Finally my baby, i loved this car, i mean, i really loved this car.  Lots of work, but she was worth it.  Used her as a daily, she now resides in France used purely as a hillclimb car.  Still to this spec, cut springs and all...

These pics are in timeline order



































 
 





That is all...

I try mate,

Had some dodgy pub gas for the inner wings so its a bit rough, i'd of prefered not to plate and make whole sections up, but she was my daily so had to be ready to go work the next day.  I made sure it had good penatration and was strong.

Argon/co2 mix all the way these days

what a unique little collection i can totally understand the cutting of springs on these cars.

That Panda must have been insane!

Is that a Luce?

The panda would of been silly, it was made for under £100, very wide banded front steels, 1600cc vtec lump, stripped out.  Was gonna be run down the strip for shits and giggles, but like i said, some pikey stole it and it was found in a yard down the road already with the shell spent from being lifted of the truck...

Luce?  The Mazda?  Its a 1300 mate, not sure what its called elsewhere, its a Familia in Japan though?
