Not in the slightest Kev. Personally it does nothing for me.

My "something different" has been on hold, as you know. So I plan to get back on track with that and move my car to the next stage.

Nice one mate, look forward to seeing that


Chat on the Lancia forum brought me to this, for once I'm glad it's too far away for me to go look at!

That would be nice. You never saw many in the day.

It was a treat when you did though. I can clearly recall seeing my first one.

It still is !!

The back always looks so good, when so many cars look so bland and devoid of features from the same viewpoint.

stop it you guys, you'll get me buying another project for the "to do" list

Just look at that "kinky boot"
You know you want it Kev?
To be honest, it is a fair price.

Would not take `The kev' long to do it up either and it would entertain the rest of us to watch the progress.

Win, win i say.

Yes, sure to give you guys a giggle seeing me unearthing all sorts

I'm just glad it's not on my doorstep or I'd be seriously tempted, not that I'm not tempted now but the reality of far more projects than I need means it makes little sense...

I think you guys need to make a note of when this years MITCAR is on

Another from Dave

Triumph Herald?

The front suspension from my current project......which is not a Triumph Herald!

Looks a bit like an old TVR possibly a Vixen ?

Well spotted Lou.....without any clues from me.

TVR Vixen S2 1970. Front suspension designed by TVR, but adapted from Triumph TR6.

Had one nearly twenty years ago, and is the car I regret selling the most.

So,the TVR Car Club let me place a wanted ad last year.....and one came up 2 miles from me in Stockport!

Had a body off resto in the 90's and the chassis is still solid, some surface rust only.
Good rebuilt 1700 Crossflow engine.

Was originally Tangerine, but someone had a repaint in BR Green.

It needs another paint job now....its going back to original.......pics to follow

Classic '70's colour, bring it on

Better dig out your platform shoes and flares.

I was a little bit close though

Still got my double breasted box style suit with slight flared pants and turnips!....And I can still get into it.

Watch Rio on the footy pundits bit......double breasted is coming back into fashion.

Got to love predictive text......turnips. Lol

Dave’s new front end.

Oh yesssss

Wow that is bright. What a great finish.

My daughter says she see's people punching each other as she rolls by in a yellow Skoda, so that will make for a lot of punching going on.

ORANGE MAN BAD !!!

Tangerine actually.....look in your fruit bowl for clues!

You've been Tangoed.
