Everybody does it, builds cars in their head.
Recently I've been thinking about a ratty looking Spitfire (preferably with a bit of exposed filler and faded paint) with a 2.5 straight 6 and highly polished slot mags 14's on the front 15's on the back.
But what creations have you lot been "building"

A scandalously low brown Allegro on 13in 5 spoke revolutions and a K-series.
or a standard looking Pug 309 1.1 base model (down to the wheeltrims) packing a Mi16.
I wish I wasn't broke...

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

Coil-sprung hybrid SII Land Rover swb with enlarged V8 motor with blower bolted to it. The kinda thing that will PWN most stuff away from the lights as well as being able to flatten anything you put in it's path. Think home-grown bowler wildcat  |

Due to Penski's thread about bike engined Smarts, I've been thinking about a Gixxer powered Suzuki Whizzkid!

I think I might have grown up a bit. I seem to mainly be fantasizing about getting my fleet of knackers into something like decent order.
Although I was thinking about a Consul Capri Classic with a hotted up pinto, slot mags and a black & flamed paint job was tickling me while I was on holiday.
I'm also running my ma & pa's Mazda 626 while I'm supposed to be getting the suspension fixed for them (hey, they left it here with a full tank of fuel!) so I've got some silly thoughts about modernish cars again. I was thinking about another Saab 9000 as mine was a real nice one and I sort of miss it. I had a colour scheme planned and everything - no I'm not saying - in case I decide to do it LOL.
Anyway...
I almost weekly fancy a Morris Minor again. A stock as a rock early 60s one with the small rear tail lights and 5.20x14 cross plys....

Mostly dreaming about getting the Amazon back (it's been having the rear axle reconditioned* & also the MOT - the latter has been taking ages as I've been told that the computer system is playing up). Even my fiancee (who thinks it's time the Amazon was retired) has said that she misses it too! *Just in time, given the state the diff was in, & the noises happened very quickly too (however might have been made worse by some heavy towing...) since the bit that the CROWNwheel bolts to fell apart on disassembly  , as well as a chipped tooth on the CROWNwheel..... I'm so glad I stopped driving it when I did, but typically for a Volvo, it did give penty of warning :-) |
