1) Rebuild the engine in the Sprite, and get it run-in etc in time for the summer. 2) Sort out some bodywork on the Amazon - have the rear wheel arches & a few other bits welded, and also fit the new front wings & bumper. 3) Buy those cosmic alloy wheels off eBay & refurb etc in time for RCS '06  (plan b is to put the Mambas back on the Sprite & take that to RCS instead) |

Mostly gazing out of the window, wishing I had a garage.  Alternatively I may launch a military coup and annexe the neighbours (unused) double garage. ;D |

Bench-build a blower setup for the shuv...Testing purposes, nooch. Strip it. Cage it. Fit it with period buckets and wheel. Roll on 13x6 ATS's  ...Possibly aquire a diseasel-powered estate to smoke in and let me take the Shuv off the road/turn it into a weekend car. *n |

that truly is a heinous crime. You want in? I make you commander-in-chief. If we then annexe the greenhouse we could cultivate a fine crop..... ...Possibly aquire a diseasel-powered estate to smoke in and let me take the Shuv off the road/turn it into a weekend car. *n aaah... a man after my own heart! ;D |

ade in da house:
what winter projects do you have plannedThe Skoda is used as a daily driver so fitting the rear Air Ride will have to wait untill spring rolls around... The Volvo BM (tractor) is fitted with snow plow and will do what it's supposed to do this winter, next spring we'll see... The "Hippie Bay" is under a tarp waiting for the motor & trans to be fitted, suspension slammed and the whole thing HoodRided....  What I'm doing is building bikes during the winter, I almost live in my workshop when I'm at home, there's the Aprilia RS125 Junior rent-a-racer that's beeing put together for the Aprilia stand at the Swedish MC Show in January, a stripp down street figher 06 GSXR 1000 for the Swedish Walter Moto importer (also for the MC Show), 3 minimoto Street Fighter giveaways for the Swedish KBC (helmets) importer (for the MC Show). A strip down concept Hyosung Comet 650cc and 3 Pro 110 mini motards for the Swedish importer (for the MC Show). There's the wrecked ZX-6R that will be cut & paste for a customer, a Honda CB 900 Hornet also a customer cut & paste then I have to get my Monster done and servicing my GF's Aprilia Moto 6.5 so there's no lack of things to do, if by anny chance the Monster will go on the back burner (once again) it's not the whole world since for 2006 we'll have the new 2006 Aprilia RSV 1000 Factory as a demo so I'll be able to ride in style..... PURE PORNO!!!!!

Mostly gazing out of the window, wishing I had a garage. Alternatively I may launch a military coup and annexe the neighbours (unused) double garage. ;D I'll give you a hand, but only if I get to plant a red flag in the garden and declare the house a socialist republic, and appoint myself Marsahall Rev, hero of the Revolution and vanquisher of the capitalist scum, then lead the country into a bright communist future free of imperialist oppresssion. It's something to do, isn't it? ;D ;D ;D |

This winter, I will mostly be pretending to do work on the Maestro whilst being distracted by many cups of hot tea!
Seriously, I would at least like the engine fitted and running by spring, I don't think that's too much of a goal to expect! ;D

Get the Rambler sorted, hopefuly get the boot floor welded and maybe even a tidy up/coat of satin black...
Tidy the Sceptre up and give it a new coat of satin black, get the original front springs cut down to replace the pi$$ed up Superminx ones.... maybe even bite the bullet and replace the N/S sill....
Rack gaiter, rear wheel bearing, oil and filter and new tyre on the favvy, if I keep it....

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |
