First up is get the Pop screwed together, washed, MOT'd and getting me to work.
Then crack into that Anglia, chuck some paint on it and get it back on the road.
Then... well I haven't thought that far ahead but a proper mad jacked up Willys coupe will be in there somewhere.

I won't comment on any plans at the moment, because I haven't got any. instead I'm being driven by a strange and irresistable force, pushing my work ethic to the limit on the 2002. it's partially wired, and loads of brakets and bits and bobs have manifested themselves, and thats just this weekend. might have to update the readers rides thread.......

Right (deep breath) Kadett, get it in the workshop and fit the Manta A axle propped up in the corner. Possibly touch up some of the paint before the valance disintegrates Mk1 Mini racer, finish fitting engine and get the thing running 100E, more welding / bodywork (readers rides update soon) Mk2 Civic, sell it Mk1 Mini auto, collect it, then break it McCoy, fit new zorst and LCB, possibly also Nikki carb and Hi Los Actually, thats probably more of a year plan than a spring plan

Bloody hell, some mega lists there! didn't people learn last season! He says! ;D ;D ;D Best of luck retroers, you know there will be an hardcore gang of cool show vehicles at the summers shows from here, whether its a years graft, or a back up plan we usually pull summat out of the bag, its what we do I'm hoping i'm being realisic this time, i'm extremely motivated, just wish I could get paid to not go to work.... Hmmm nuff dreaming.... ;D

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

Finish of this monza. The next monza comes this saturday and there is another one in about a months time Should be getting a senator at some point this month with the plan being to transplant the engine and injection into my Monza. The swap wont take place for a couple of months at the soonest though. Engine transplant on MrsTigma`s carlton soon. Get the money together for suspension/bushes for my Monza. Then finally sort out the AE82. That lot plus other random modern and 4x4 tat should keep me busy until June

My plans
I'm being as realistic as I was before the winter
Monza
- Change the engine loom (earthing issue) - re-map the ECU (if that fails triple carb it with weber 40's - Sort the exhaust so it doesn't scrape - Lower it - Get bigger rad to keep it cool - bit of cosmetic work
other than that I'm just gonna drive the wheels of it every chance I get!!!!
Senator - finish breaking it - not much left poor thing
then
Mitsi - Non retro rice burner - nearly finished just needs paint & test - hopefully gone by spring
LC - Resto in progress target is on the road in May if i can get the mitsi done and gone
Commodore - might have to start this one soon (have cunning plan that doesn't affect LC work)
Carlton 2.0 GLi - might have to weld it up meself then flog but I keep forgetting I own it!!!!!
Non retro Polo - Nowt - Just drive and keep putting fuel in it
Non Retro BMW - Just drive and keep putting fuel in it
Yammagama - Nowt (I'll do it one day!!!! next year - summer - whenever - not too worried)
