[sharley17194]

[sharley17194]

Thanks, MGF and 1971 Mini atm but it will be the 75 over the winter as long as its just the turbo

That's some list!  What are you using as your daily?

[sharley17194]

Mid colour change...

[stuboy]

got your work cut out there....

[sharley17194]

Wouldn't be too bad, just i keep changing my mind when i see something shinnier.....so the list if subject to change at any time lol

[SiC]

Mid colour change...

Shame that it wasn't stopped there. Looks quite good like that! (Well compared to what it is now)

 

Was the purple painted over the top of the black and Harvest Gold original paint?

[RRT22R]

That's a great collection!

 

The VdP looks fab.

[sharley17194]

It was harvest gold base, then someone undersealed it...so i glossed it in wilkos black. We sold it in gloss black and the dude stripped half of it and painted the Harvest gold so it returned it us half gold half black. As he'd spent so long cleaning most of the black off we decided to paint over the harvest gold in Purple. I think the black was taken back to bare metal and then purpled....i guess you will find out when you do paint prep. 

 

Best driveway paint job we ever did!

What happened to original number plates DPN 90K?

[SiC]

They do look nice. I was thinking the other day that the black and white plates on it look fairly clean and modern.

 

I don't suppose you still have the dynamo and regulator box for it?

[sharley17194]

I dunno what happened to the plate I'll have a look in the garage. And yes I have a dynomo and regulator box.

[sharley17194]

Tonight im off to fit a turbo to a Rover 75....should be fun!

 

Ohhh last weekend i fitted a kitchen...told you my projects were random, it wasnt even my kitchen! Nor am i a kitchen fitter

[sharley17194]

New turbo on the 75! Shinnnyyyy

[sharley17194]

I'm glad I started a random thread so you can see how my projects go. I was browsing the Internet when I came across something interesting. Quick phone call, a viewing and hand over some dosh and I finally have a work shop! So, maybe... Just maybe... My projects will become less random..who knows!!! First I need to move 6 lock up garage and 8 cars in. Shame it's not big enough for all my cars but price was right and it's better than what I had.

[spartacus]

That looks like a good start to de-randomisinga few projects. Result if it was painted like that when you got it too.

[sharley17194]

Yeah that's it we moved those two cars in tonight. I want to paint the floor then I'll hide as much of it as I can. I think I'll still end up doing millions of other things but I can focus more on single projects and its not going to be an issue if it rains.

[Asimo]

Good business opportunity: as we all know, when a car is in a white room - it's suddenly worth £££thousands more!

[sharley17194]

hahahaha I painted the floor last night so at least it can be dry before i start cramming it full. Got van booked for Sun to start moving my stuff over.

I'm liking the MG 1300 content, I had two in the 80's could still find a home for one now.

[sharley17194]

Values have shot up massively in the last few years, our two are very much staying with us for a while.
