Project Sharleys Random project thread - Reliant reliance

[sharley17194]

Few more random pics ive found on my travels.

[sharley17194]

Last pic before i start filling it with crap.

[sharley17194]

Started moving into the unit, looks a bit less empty now lol.

 

Still got the cars to go.

[SiC]

I would love to have somewhere like that to work on cars. Except I'd probably fill it with cars needing too much work but that I've picked up cheap.

 

Something like that around here would be nearer the grand mark a month to rent.

[sharley17194]

ouch! I think we are very very lucky but i am too filling it with cars that need large amounts of work haha

[SiC]

I might be able to get something out of the city for a bit cheaper, it's just not easy to find such places. Nor would my other half be too happy if I spent all my spare time there, avoiding her! But for storage it'd be ace.

[sharley17194]

my misses has finally got annoyed with it all being at home hahah

[sharley17194]

made a bit more progress, now just waiting for the cars to be moved on Sun, then its BAU!

 

Im calling these spares organised haha

[sharley17194]

.....and we are in!!! we had space for another car but still wanted room to work. Now its time to start cracking the project whip.

 

I must get some better lights up

Nice one! Any room for a lift under the apex of the roof? That would get another car into the place

[sharley17194]

sadly not, but the building next to it is taller longer and with a 4 poster already, we are eyeing that up once the current tenant vacates till then its progress over this...

[sharley17194]

Just as i get more space, im off to collect this on Sunday....its a bit sad looking!

 

[sharley17194]

I had a shuffle round and got an extra car in, one day i'll make a start on a project!

 

I also have a nice new camping trailer so got the one at the front with some random bits in it for sale, £40 if anyone wants it. Comes with a heavy ass cover.

 

The GT in the middle is the next project, i shifted things round so i can get to refitting the chrome following the repaint.

 

I hate working around freshly painted cars!

[SiC]

Good job you like and are into small cars!

[Aston Martin]

He has an autoshite gathering every day.

[sharley17194]

....You should see what didnt make it in! 

 

Its a good job i plan to slim down its getting tight in there. 

 

Once the F goes ill move my VP in there as thats still to be finished

[sharley17194]

so im sitting here considering the future. I have a really random mix of tat but way to much doesn't work. My hoped reliable daily turned out to be a dud. My once reliable daily has been sold. so im left we 3 cars insured but only one works which is a classic mini. oh how the tables have turned....

 

i think the new year so bring something new....just dunno what!

[sharley17194]

When all seems lost and in times of despair....buy a Ovlov

 

 

[The Moog]

Resale silver as well.

 

What's under the bonnet?

[sharley17194]

2.4 manual.

[sharley17194]

started polishing the gt too

[sharley17194]

This will eventually have its own build thread as i have exciting plans for this wee car....theres a hint there if you can spot it!!! anyways. Meet Gloria the project KA......rotten of course!! You will see gloria later on in the year....

[sharley17194]

So bit of an update on projects

 

I am nearing the end of the rebuild on the GT i cant wait to share pictures with you all!

 

I am planning to build a giant shelf over the two 1100s at the back of my unit, this will house my two magentas and all the spares ive collected over the years.

[sharley17194]

Being as the GT is nearly done, i am starting on the next project!! This is a Morris 1100 and ive been building it for my mum as a replacement to her GT when its sold. She is planning to paint it Bermuda blue and is about time it was finished i started this about 12 years ago. 

[sharley17194]

KA 2 joins the family....and a sneak peak of what we are planning.

[SiC]

Are you fitting an A-Series into a KA?

[sharley17194]

how amusing that would be, i feel KA engine into a mini would be more appropriate lol

Are you fitting an A-Series into a KA?

[sharley17194]

At the weekend i started to build the shelving which will houise my magenta shells so they are no longer crushing my MG 1300. 

 

I am aware its in the wrong place....just didnt have the time to move it into the corner!

[SiC]

I think you need another storage unit!
