Lovely work on the e34, great cars and values are rising.
I will soon need some welding repairs on a 2005 bmw, I think I’ll be in touch when I get round to it as I’ve been looking for somewhere to do the work.

Good to see this is still about. I'm sure your dad enjoyed being in it. It's an old Escort, so who wouldn't? Keep us updated with the progress 👍 He enjoyed every minute of it, My sister grabbed a photo of us just reversing off the drive, great memories, I’ll never sell this car Will fit some 1600 sport decals too in the future too.

Over three years since an update, I did get the car on the road and I picked my dad up from the hospital in it,
We did get out and use it a few times while he was well enough and I’m sure he enjoyed it and it gave him time to forget about what’s going on with him and enjoy a drive out.
The cars been parked since August 2017 and hasn’t been started or moved.
We are currently trying to sell our house in order to buy somewhere with space and a big garage so once that’s done, I’m going to fit a zetec engine a 5 speed box, which should make it more useable

I agree. Went to classic ford show a few years ago, was expensive to get in, then there were just sea’s of focus ST’s, focus RS’s, fiesta ST’s etc, wasn’t that much in the way of classic fords, haven’t been since and probably won’t again.
I do need to get down to retro rides gathering one year.

Thought I’d lower it. Think it was over loaded, was wondering around from side to side when driving, not sure on the max load,

I’ve just bought this last week. Toys toys Ferrari F40 made in the early 1990’s. I’ve added some new batteries and it works fine. Just need my son to grow a bit more now. Those defenders look good for off the shelf cars Much bigger than I expected it to be when next to a double bed.

Almost a year since the last update.
Work has been going on with the car, hopefully I’ll have a few photos of the work in the next week.
I’ve now owned it for 10 years. And over half of that time it’s been away.

Ordered a couple of new batteries today. Hopefully it works,
Steering is sloppy so will try and get that better, and it only come with one motor and one wheel drive, but the wiring and mounting points are all there for a second engine, so will try a find one.

A ride on car was top of the list but never had the money to buy one. This was made by a company called Toystoys in the late 80’s early 90’s I believe. Moved into in the spare room until I clear a some space in the garage. Didn’t expect it to be as big as it is.

I bought this today for my son, he’s too young to use it yet but I couldn’t resist. Better than the rubbish they sell these days Going to order some new batteries and check it, hopefully it works, been told it very rare, so probably shouldn’t let him play with it when he’s big enough. Cheers.

Looks a good build. Good idea on the digger, I’ve been digging up my garden and it’s nearly killed me.

Put a smaller pulley on the engine for a bit more speed or a bigger one for more pulling power. I’ve got 4 mowers similar to this one, haven’t got any of them finished yet. Other way round, larger engine pulley for speed, and can't really go any smaller as there won't be enough contact area on the belt. Before I do any of that I need to drive it about a bit, sort the slack steering, and I have other ideas which would make engine pulley swaps irrelevant Knew it was one or the other.

Love reading this thread and seeing where you have been, I’m going to have to buy one innthey couple of years. You've been talking about it for a couple of years already 👍👍😀😀 I know. Have to move house first as no room for one. Out of interest how many people can travel in it? Or has it just go try two front seats? As I’d need a third seat with seat belt for our little lad.
