I was hoping to bring my 944 but it still looks like this:  I've been doing more and more mountain biking and less and less work on the car - i need to get my finger out! |

Those bikes are cool as! I've seen them a few times but never really known what they are. My car looks pretty much exactly the same but it just has more rust  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

mine Was a wee bit too 'modern' anyway really, but was trying to get it sorted anyway with wheels, and suspension ready to go. However:  image by Tim Cave, on Flickr Doesnt look too bad, but the boot floor has moved... |

Compared to yours, mine is quite a tame strip down, and a year isn't long enough unless you have loads of spare time. Just make sure you build it back. Plans or routines get you there... slowly  Yep last winter was Fuggin cold. The Scottish one, and MiniMad5 didn't mind, but it was torture for skinny old me! Hard to grasp tools, sooo right. |

 Not quite ready for an MOT and too far to trek when it hasn't been driven properly in 3 years. Will be in the Mk2 Golf GTI though. |

Perhaps fairly unsurprisingly, my Beetle won't be there either...  Maybe 2014? |

it isn't quite as bad as this now..... the bulkhead corners, inner wings/strut tops, wing rails, slam & front panel are now all on & the wings are screwed in place but still far from finished.... got the rear offside corner to do [in/out arches, tub repairs, tank well, etc] & back panel  instead i'll be in this....  |

Hoped to unviel my new DAF 44 Type 1 project. But sadly she will not be coming as at the moment this is her sole form of propulsion  Gladys my daily 44 has is awaiting parts from holland after her voltage regulator and dynamo fried themselves. Bruce the triumph ive lost the mojo so much that the days worth of work to get it running has so far taken 10weeks. As a result I wont be at the gathering at all anymore as I don't have a car to get me there |

I'm - not surprisingly - not able to get the GT6 racer done in time. My first born is now 14mths - and with the work travel on top I just haven't had the time to get as far as I wanted. Taunus Transit has decided it doesn't like top gear - so if it can't be sorted that will be next years ride instead I reckon. E28 reserve tow vehicle is now on duty and I'll be pulling the 2500S - MoT ready ;D and (hopefully) booked in for a test while over there. ALso just bought a little retro tat for camp-site duties and pick it up tomorrow! I'll post pice up when iU get in the garage again (for the first time in ages!) evening. |
