Taff Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Steam powered by srblythe, on Flickr are those headlights & surrounds off a Consul Classic/Capri?
derskine Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 The surrounds are a modernish plastic so I wouldn't think so.

DodgyBastard Posted September 9, 2015 Author Posted September 9, 2015 WHAT IS POINT constant swapping? What is the point in keeping things? Lacquer Peel 1
DodgyBastard Posted September 9, 2015 Author Posted September 9, 2015 I do actually end up keeping some cars, Normally if I'm just not feeling it, it has to go, cars that I wouldn't want to part with are the Alto, Lada, the white Proton (I'd sell the green one), Tata, 360, 305. The point in constant swapping is to end up with cars I want to keep and get rid of cars that I don't want to keep.Make sense? Jim Bell 1
Slappy Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 It's like a car version of Rummy, except no one including the player knows what a straight or a flush will actually look like. Skizzer, Jim Bell and vulgalour 3
Matt Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I don't know about you guys but the 124 coupe has keep written all over it.
danthecapriman Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 That Volvo 240 looks ace. Looks a good swap to me. I really like Volvo saloons, much nicer looking than the estates. I need another one.
derskine Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I don't know about you guys but the 124 coupe has keep written all over it. m8 - that's just what the lights are from...
Matt Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 m8 - that's just what the lights are from... Well that's what I get for not reading every post I guess. Besides, I've given up trying to keep track what cars this man has now. FOAD, how many cars have you had at this point?

Jim Bell Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I think I can beat that list, but it might be close. I also passed in 2009.
garbaldy Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Come on guys your slipping that's not even one a month haha It's just under a quarter of my total over 25 years. (Mental note to self buy more cars)

garbaldy Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 How fast is fuck though? Was it a purchase or a swap this time oh and more pics please.
DodgyBastard Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 How fast is fuck though? Was it a purchase or a swap this time oh and more pics please. It's faster than Derskine's Polo GT running bike carbs... We had a race along the words thinnest road and I won (mainly because he didn't want to crash into me)... I bought this one for £150 DSC_5995 by srblythe, on Flickr DSC_5991 by srblythe, on Flickr It's been half heartedly made into a rally car, hydraulic handbrake plumbed in, 4 point harnesses etc. I've removed the harnesses and opted for the original seatbelts. I couldn't find the rails that the front belts attach to so robbed them from a Saxo in the scrappies. The Saxo one were too short so I drilled some extra holes to make them fit.Next to go will be the hydro handbrake, it gets in the way when driving and the rear brakes have been removed from working with the foot pedal (it only controls the front). I also need a coolant hose and a dipstick... Junkman 1
garbaldy Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 That looks pretty good, nice buy and a refreshing change from the usual gti get the proper steels and you have one sweet motor there.Even with the hydro handbrake the back brakes should still work with the pedal unless it's a bodge job.
derskine Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 FOAD says he will give me the hydraulic handbrake if I reconnect the rear brakes to the pedal master cylinder for him (there's the hint).

DodgyBastard Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Well, 205 ownership didn't last long... Sold it today for £280 and got a nice set of rallye steels in exchange. I'm going to sell the green Proton next or should I roffle it?

DodgyBastard Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 I like everything up until the pick-up bit. Sorry. Don't apologise, I didn't think it would ever go down well here. Nobody was going to buy it and I swapped all the good bits onto the other Proton. Wait until it's finished, it might end up looking passable as a pickup... fotorabia 1
