Another quality vehicle has arrived.

This one, I may need to buy tickets even though I never win stuff. It is too much like my sort of dream car thing 😕

Another one due to arrive at some point...

It's a bit of a beast and handles very well despite its appearance. It'll be another month before I can get it on for a raffle.

Flippin eck Tucker, she's a V8! 

Also, that Marina... BL nirvana. And the Favorit as an amuse-bouche. 

Consider me aroosed.

We've got quite a few interesting vehicles in at the moment.

A few on the keep list including the Daf 66, 505 gtd, Subaru Impreza, Lada 2101, Toyota Corolla but most of these will be raffled off in the near future.

I think you'll agree, a varied selection of shite!

Stickers off, rear bumper back on, rear end brought down to match the front, wheels swapped out for not-minilites, win.

If I can find a rear bumper!

Already ordered the rear springs and have a set of ats classics I could fit.

Picked up a complete interior this afternoon but need to find seat belts.

[yes oui si]

Classics are a good choice 13x7/8?

Nice to hear it's getting an interior again.

Everyone's at it now!

[RetroShite]

Getting there with the Manta, got some bits from Dome to finish off the interior, it now has matching seats instead of a Manta seat and a random mx5 seat bolted to the floor.

Fitted lowering springs and new shocks to bring the rear end down level, it now sits, looks and drives much better.

 

The V8 makes a lovely sound out of the twin exhaust pipes.

Not gonna lie, looking forward to the Manta going live.

That's handy because it's not available.

When's the mtx up ? It would make a great stable mate for my 200.

I'd love a shot at that but wouldn't be able to collect for a while if my numbers came up.....

28/07/24 - a week tomorrow. It's not been all that popular, the DT did better but the mtx is in a much nicer condition.

Got a few bikes coming up.

[RetroShite]

Picked up this beast today!

It actually drives quite well.

[RetroShite]

Some more shite arriving soon!

[RetroShite]

Some more pics of today's arrivals!

Got the latest c15 through an MOT, it only failed on a couple of things.

The side lights were flashing when the brake pedal was pressed due to a single filament bulb jammed into the rear light cluster where a duel filament should have been. Easy fix.

Rear brake efficiency failed so it had new rear lines, cylinders and compensator.

After it passed its MOT the rusty doors were annoying me so ordered repair panels and welded them in.

Still to fill and paint them but they look good enough.

Job jobbed and up for a shite giveaway!
