The Sapporo is in bits and I'm waiting on some tat from the US eless of A rse but I'm hopefull of it being back together before CARS,
I've promised the use of my Celica to Davyboy, if we can get it roadworthy by the show I'll be a happy man. I can see a few long weekends and late nights coming up ;D
BMW is on reserve if I don't get round to putting it up for sale in the next month.

Well, assuming I am coming (never guaranteed with family stuff going on) I would love it to be the yellow 240K, but there's a fair bit to do and it hasn't been on the road since 1999.
Maroon 240K? Hmmm, that's got an MoT looming in the next month and I worry it's not going to keep getting through easily each time.
So that leaves either the Laurel or the Starlet, both of which are stock-as-a-rock but in regular use. If 240K plans don't work out perhaps I should let ScrapingScrap and his grinder loose on the Laurel?

Well, the Herald ought to still be OK. It does need a rear driveshaft doing so it kinda depends nor bad/urgent that becomes. I've got a lowering block to fit between diff and spring and it'd be nice to get that in before CARS but I don't want to have to pull the rear end to bits twice. Sun-Tor is back up car and there doesn't appear to be anything maor wrong with it but then who knows what might happen on a trip to Cornwall and back  |

I hope mine will be ready. Needs brakes, fuelling, suspension, bushes, list of modifications are endless! But the car will be present in one shape or another  |

But the car will be present in one shape or another that's the spirit !! slater i have to agree with the 11:59 finish - it doesnt matter if you have 6wks or 6 months, you'd still be fixing it on the night before !! |

at the moment I'll be in the capri. although it misses under load since the run back from drayton manor (think its the plugs, gave 'em a wire brush, 2 looking' bad, but it helped). the bmw is sucking my will to live at the moment, look out for a street rod nats debut.
if all else fails, I've always got my daily '67 minor

Ive managed 2 days on the starlet, i whent home after handing in my dissertation for some therapy However I'm not back until the 6th of June and it looks like this; i rebuilt the stuts, chopped the springs and chaged the oil for ep80's (insead of brown water that came out!)   i have bought stiffer springs now so they will be changed again.  Apart from that i stripped out the inside and enjoyed its rust freeness   Still everything to do, my room is full of parts and ive spunked the thick end of £300 on flea bay and not got any seats yet  its not going to get the big motor for CARS but I'm hoping to have it painted and looking the part. then it will be off the road for another month to make it silly fast! |

kadett is done appart from some little tweeking jobs ;D van unfortunatly won't be done for retro cars show due to a few changes and hold ups on parts other than that not sure which of the other 2 to bring realy just started tidying up the estate and fitting a V6 in it so that could be a posible or i could bring the cressida thats not realy going to have alot more done than how it is now realy though and in all honesty it needs the bottoms of the doors and the rear arches sorting realy not to mention the big dent in the door fixing  |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

I unfortunatley don't reckon I'll make this one. Missed last year, was gutted and I had the GT4 (1990 turbo 4wd).
this year, nothing older than a year 2000, so that won't go down too well, plus I'm skint.
