Another one picked up today. I would love to unfuck it and paint it a normal colour but most people want it left as is.

That is both brilliant and utterly awful at the same time!

I reckon that will either fly, or leave you out of pocket. GLWTR

If I remember rightly, it's still an Automatic, which may* put those manual-iz-bezzzt types off. 

It's great as it is, I'd give it some 14x8/9s, lower it a bit more, and maybe go for either a monotone paint job or go all-out with it.

Here's my last purchase of 2024 and first of 2025 thanks to @juular for the heads up.!

The Volvo will be raffled but will most likely keep the Subaru.

I got some tyres for the onions pepperpots, I did briefly consider using the forklift for the changeover but it seemed a shame to wreck the underside of such a clean and tidy car!

A few more arrivals!

Got the Espero mot'd.

It was looking a little bit sorry for itself so I rubbed down the rust and chucked some paint at it.

Mainly just along the sills, door bottoms and arches.

I picked up a Mazda 323 on just 13k miles. It's in relatively good condition apart from the mismatched bonnet in white.

Another C90 was acquired, these ones seem to be quite popular.

505 estate got through its mot, it needed a few bits and pieces including a new brake servo, ball joints and some welding.

Picked up a Vitara, seems quite good for one of these.

With the popularity of the last V70 I bought another similar one.

This one is in seriously good condition for an early 80's Datsun! 72k miles on the clock, 1.6 petrol, 4 speed manual gearbox.

What model is it exactly? Doesn’t look very rusty from pics. What’s it actually like especially underneath?

Didn’t look close enough. I thought it was just “turbo”.

Is the Terzo a UK market turbo 2000 underneath, or am I misremembering?
