There are a lot of projects going on here, and some of us know where we are going with them, and even those that don't, know where they have been. So this is the 24months thread; How did your ride look 12 months ago, what is it like now and what do you hope it will look like 12months down the line? My car before I bought it, the picture is a lie, it is far crappier in real life! As it stands today, I've replaced all suspension, the engine is now a 16 1.6: For 12 months time, I'm hoping to replace the broken bootlid with that from a mk1, add a more subtle exhaust (I'm thinking turboD downswept style, and perhaps some 13" Ally cats. Mk1 tailgate: AllyCats: So, how about You?

Nice AX My Escort 12 months ago, bare shell. As it is now, a rolling shell. 12 months from now ?, hope to have the 2.0 Zetec and a Capri gearbox in place, maybe a few other bits, wont be running by then, maybe the end of next year for that.

When the Dvla see fit to furnish me with a v5, I shall be more than happy to return it with the correct displacement, it's currently insured on my trade policy, but needless to say once it is all finished, I will be moving it on to it's own agreed value policy, but thanks for the concern

12 months ago: Autograss Mini: Just over an hour ago: VW Polo 1.4 CL, will be my first road car when I'm 17 in June: June next year if I have a years NCB: Toyota Starlet GT Turbo: Or MMC Pajero 2800 XR-II: The last two are pretty unlikely to be honest but that's what I'd like to have. Maybe they'll have to wait another year or two. It could happen, but if not it'll probably be either the Polo I have now or a 16v.

Hmmm, haven't had my Zook long, just a couple of months, I found it like this, Now it looks like this, there are plan afoot, once I have my wedding out the way I shall be spending some dosh on it so it ends up more like this, It'll probably work out at about 24 months.

12 months ago (and current state ) Please tell me you are going to shoehorn in some incredibly unsuitable audi lump?

Nope!
MIGHT upgrade to MPi but sticking with the original 70k 1.3 skoda lump and cleaning the engine bay (wire-tucking or whatever it's called!)
And getting it somewhat lower. Going to require air to do down more.

Excellent idea for a thread. Okay this is a little over 12 months ago: Which became: Presently: In 12 months: But with a very shiny engine bay and retrimmed interior, possibly a little bit lower too.
