Out Run Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Does anyone know if the two? of these that featured on here, are still being restored? I've loved these things since I was a kid. Just watching a furiousdriving review of one, and it reminded me of the rotten ones from this site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 @Skizzerstill has his as far as I know, but not sure if he's progressed much with it. I saw it once and almost got giddy. Can't remember who else has one? Skizzer and Out Run 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am sure that another popped up, in quick succession. Perhaps a silver one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it once and almost got giddy. Mine is the bronze one and I do indeed still have it but no, I haven’t made much progress with it yet. I’m gradually gathering metalwork tools and skills and have a plan to tackle the bodywork this summer. It’s not actually that rotten, but some of it will be awkward to get at and need a fair amount of fabrication, mostly around the back of the sills and the rear suspension mounts. Possibly the A-posts too. @holbeck has the other one I know of, in silver. I think he’s made at least more of a start on his — we were having the world’s slowest race. wuvvum, brownnova, Split_Pin and 25 others 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out Run Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Amazing. I feel like I'm seeing things! No offence intended, re rot. I'm obviously misremembering things - in a good way. I look forward to seeing it come on! Jim Bell and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s rotten, just not terminally rotten. For a Rancho. Besides which, ‘your car is utterly fucked’ is a compliment around here, or used to be. holbeck, barefoot, eddyramrod and 8 others 2 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go over to France in 2019 to an autojumble primarily to look for replacement lamps but whilst I had a nice time, I came home empty handed.

cort1977 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 'Fritzel' as a verb made me laugh and then feel guilty. Loving all this rancho action though. Coprolalia, BorniteIdentity, mk2_craig and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Certainly worth a look, but down in the bottom right-hand corner of the Google Streetview screengrab it says 'Image Capture: Jan 2009', so... if it's still there twelve years on, it may not be a pretty sight!

Nothing in the 2021 overhead view - looks like that and the equally hanging E21 are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some bits of spotlights, but no whole spare ones. If you need stuff I might be able to help, certainly happy to try — just let me know. Edit: I think we might have had this conversation already, about four years ago. Ignore me if so. I’m getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
