A few projects.

My current cars, 

escort owned since 2007, glad I bought when I did as they don’t justify the price tag they command these days  

capri, bought 2009, has a cosworth v6 engine and bits now, 

z4, was my dads, kept it when he passed away, not used in 6 years  needs a new engine 

bmw 525i, owned since 2022, making it into a sport/M5 type replica, 

mazda truck, owned since 2017, write off in 2022 but fixed it 

transit, owned since 2023, hoping to make it into a camper, have it listed on eBay atm though, as don’t have the time really to do it

ugly Renault thing, owned since last year, as general children and dog carrier,

could really do with slimming the cars down, as everything needs work and everything costs loads

Ran off to ebay to find my fund's somewhat lacking for the transit. Don't suppose you fancy a mk7 stuffed with a few motorcycles and a caravan on the back in part ex?

Haha. Nah I’m good for a part exchange. Sell your van and motorbikes then come buy my transit for £7000.

Not an interesting update but the green Renault thing, needs such a lot of suspension bits, brakes all round, at least one driveshaft, oxygen sensor, windo regulator, A/C topping up and one tyre and tracking. 
 

was easier to get a better car, so bought the same car so I now have a complete parts car, I can stick behind the shed and take bits when ever needed.

 

as a daily run about its not a bad car

 

the bmw has had its welding and now has an MOT. Just need to get the interior collected from the trimmer

How do you find the Koleos? They are remarkably appealing at market prices

I think they are great, they share engine and mechanicals, with x trail, Qashqai and the juke I think, but because they are badged as Renault and a bit funny looking are cheaper.

BMW interior in the donor car and now. Much better.

Finished the door cards, and swapped the wood trims, the interior is now nearly the same as a sport model, a previous owner re did the headliner etc in black which saved me a job. 
 

Might get some orange seat belts.

Those seats look fantastic.

Took the brake shoes out and got the hand break leavers un seized. 
 

hand break works. Brake shoes aren’t about a thousand degrees while driving anymore. 
 

cheap pop up gazebo was worth buying as it pissed it down as soon as I got started.
