Conrad D. Conelrad Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Talking of Fords with unsuitable wheels, I really like how this appears to be completely standard except for the most ridiculous alloys possible. I have owned this vehicle since September 2011 and have covered no more than 20 miles (loved every mile of it) ok being the 87 model it was built overseas hence no rot apart from 1 patch of welding on the drivers sill which is ruffly half the size of a £5 note & 1 on the inner wing. The foreign built ones weren't dipped in boiling seawater like the British ones so there's NO ROT! (except for the bit approximately 5/16ths the size of a £50 note and this one other bit) Junkman, fordperv and EssDeeWon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I wonder what the ratio is for cars saved by Haynes manuals vs good cars dismantled for the sake of that Build Your Own Sports Car book. Anyway this one, the product of three years work, looks like it's coming along well. Might need to whittle a bit off that battery if you want the bonnet to close properly though.

Bucketeer Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That's a good site! Along with mega cheap booze and Miss_B, it's one of the best things I found whilst there.If I was a porn actor, I defo wouldn't need a fluffer. Thirty seconds looking through 1950-1985 search results and I'm good to go. The DR was new to me.According to Wankapedia - DR Motor Company is an Italian automobile company, founded in 2006 by Massimo Di Risio. The company produces cars adding design and Italian standards to components supplied by foreign companies such as Chery Automobile. There's a DR3 on there too. http://nfs.mobile.bg/pcgi/mobile.cgi?topmenu=1&act=4&adv=11362059345568254&f1=details&slink=5ohgy1 Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That underground car park 525i has been sold. A geezer is going to nick the engine for his e30. What a waste of a fine car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That 518 is nice, looks very tidy. The DR jobby is just the perfect combination of cars. So Daewoo built a Matiz, that was rebadged as a Chevrolet and stayed in production rather too long. That was then copied very badly by the Chinese to make a DR1. That was then bought by a company with no history of building cars and is being built to Italian standards with extra bits to go wrong. It's a dream come true. eddyramrod, Bucketeer and Mog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
