Damn that BM is nice.  Always fancied one of them.  Will have to have a ticket for that

I think it's one of the best looking saloons ever, and the perfect engine for it too.  

Not normally a gambling man, but ticket purchased!

I have nowhere to put said bimma, and no earthly need for another old car, but just look at it!

[RetroShite]

I got my very own hillbilly spaz chariot. Glorious!

[RetroShite]

I hadn't done any welding in a while so spent a few hours over the last couple of days welding this Lada.

 

Outer sill was very frilly and inner sill wasn't much better. I rebuilt the inner sill then welded on a new outer I'd purchased last year.

 

After that I finished some bits around the b-pillar and around the rear arch.

 

I trial fitted some wheels but can't decide whether to fit them to this or the other Lada.

 

 

The other Lada is already lowered so might pull off the wheels better.

 

[RetroShite]

Another classic trials bike added

 

Plus a whole host of shite coming up!

 

 

Shite for everyone~!

[RetroShite]

Making some progress on the lada!

Can't say the paint match is much good.

[RetroShite]

Hilux back from the workshop and in good health having had the head skimmed and new head gasket fitted.

Gasket was blown between 2 cylinders, apparently everything came apart really easily and they reckoned it might have recently been replaced but the gasket had perhaps been bent in the packaging but fitted anyway.

Who knows?

All back together now and incredibly smooth running. It's a 2.2 petrol with carburettor.

 

[RetroShite]

Nice!

[RetroShite]

The old E28 is going tonight, fair amount of interest in both of these beauties!

That Corona is class. It must surely be the only roadworthy example in the UK. I've never seen one before.

Could be, I'd never seen one before anyway.

 

Here's some pics from the advert, it' not surprising nobody else was interested.

 

 

[Split_Pin]

I remember seeing that advert!

[RetroShite]

This month is shaping up to be a great month for shite giveaways.

 

A couple more for this month's lineup!

 

[RetroShite]

Thinking about trading in my big shitty van for something smaller and less shit.

Can't decide what to go for.

[RetroShite]

Some new arrivals this week...

[Schaefft]

That 535i looks great (from the one photo we have of it). The silver lower bodycladding makes it look like an M5 replica, is it a manual?

Yeah, it's a 535i manual, seller mot'd it for me last week.

I've not had a chance to use it yet but will probably have a go tomorrow.

That might be the overall most desirable car yet, even I'm tempted!

[RetroShite]

Now this is nice, will I keep it longer than a week? Who knows...

[Rod/b]

That’s bloody lovely

[RetroShite]

 

Will I keep it longer than a week? There's your answer!

If I keep it, it's only a matter of time before I bin it, lose my license or both! It's quick and quite addictive to floor it everywhere so for that reason I'm out!

All of this months shite is being offered with free delivery!

That poorly flung together piece of shit?

It's away having some work done for its mot.
