I'm My son is now up to 40 of these bad boys, well he would be if I could remember what I did with the Flamed Pick up truck. I treated him to the moon eyes Beetle, Datsun 620 (which is so cool) and the awesome 68 Barracuda in black and copper at the weekend. He's gotten the hang of driving (holding them facing them forwards now) accompanied by broom broom noises. Hopefully he'll learn to replicate the correct noise for the each type of cylinder layout, (I used to do a very convincing 1600 crossflow in my youth) So at 16 months I don't think he's doing too bad, at least he's stopped sucking on them. That Skyline 2000 GTX is next on the list, lots of want for that one. I too would have had that reliant monster if it had a proper front wheel on it and wheelie bars. My Favourite so far has to be the Summit Racing liveried 70's Chevelle in purple, it just looks so right. image borrowed

Cheers for the replies guys, unfortunately for me the loft is not an option, it's an old house and there is no floor up there. I do have a garage with ample roof storage will that be ok?

Hi All My Magnums front seats are in really good condition, however I still want to replace them with the Porsche Tombstones I've purchased. So in order to keep them in the condition they currently are , what is the best way to store them? Surely bubble wrap isn't enough on it's own is it? It's just the front recliners in a mixture of pvc and velour.... mmmm nice! Cheers for looking and not judging Nick

Glad everyone is okay - relatively speaking... on the the plus side I hear that the Astra 4s at the heritage centre might be available....

Autogrip are pretty good, other than that my van came fitted with Accelera Iota, i've been so impressed by them I bought another set when it came to renew them. To be honest I have no idea whether they cover your tyre size but I was limited looking at budget VAN tyres in 20 inches!
My Avons on the magnum weren't as good as the above and I ended up swapping them for falkens after them going out of true. Have you tried camskill, although you'll have to budget paying someone to fit em or again openeo as a supplier.

I'd be more inclined to buy a small camera recording device and stick it in a soft toy on the parcel shelf facing the pavement.
If I owned a skip i'd stick that outside his house, if someone could only drop a 2cv in it.
Sensibly though not much you can do unless you feel inclined to paper drop, we had a large sun life office outside our old place and the carpark was always spilling into our road. Not much you can do about it from both sides and resorting to tyre slashing isn't doing anyone any favours.

I threw my toys out of the pram with just my poor running on the electronic setup I had. I'm following this with interest although very unlikely to attempt such wizardy myself. Sadistic or just fun, I'm not sure, the previous pics fill me with terror

That cyclone just needs some rocket launchers behind the front seats, a flashing red light, a black paint job and the nose cones chopping off ................or is that just me?

And back on topic with a Nissan engine Is it the same engine as the Skyline?.. That video makes me sad, it's got the Rebello engine I wanted and still want to have...maybe one day. adam73bgt the Hakosuka and 240 motors are similar but not the same, the big differences being a twin cam head, bore n stroke, the list goes on but they are not a million miles apart. This is what a near standard 240z sounds like running triple Dellorto's, my old youtube page has some links to some cracking 240's. TurboDieselWeasel i'm with you on that one, although it's a slightly larger trouser accident

Wow that's brave, at first I was thinking yee gods, but I think it was just the close-up pic that put me off. Looking down the length of the front, I think you've pulled it off nicely.
I'm assuming it's going to go colour coded on top with black on the bottom or is it all one colour? (I'm leaning towards two tone)
I'm yet to catchup on this properly, but good on you sir for doing it the way you want to, if we all followed each other think how boring that would be.
