Looks nice that. I’m just hoping it doesn’t turn out to be a total wreck. Turns out the last MOT ran out in 2010. So been off the road a long while. Will Have to do a full service and cambelt, flush the radiator, maybe a new thermostat, discs and pads and a brake fluid flush, the fuel is stale so will have to drain that, tyres might be perished, Hoping to do it all on a tight budget, the Mrs has told me I better not keep it because we haven’t got room, which is true but will see.

Think I’ve been watching too much wheeler dealers, With my Capri getting restored, my escort could be used but it’s to valuable to leave in the pub or in tescos without it going walkies, I thought to buy something cheap but old that I can use in all weathers and not worry about too much. So I bidded on a 924 that I haven’t viewed and hasn’t been on the road for a few years, and now it’s getting dropped off on Wednesday. Main plans are to get it on the road ASAP to use. Haven’t had an old car on the road in three years now. Photos from eBay Looks ok in the photos. Hoping for no welding as I don’t want to start sorting rust but I will see Paul.

Lovely boat. The broads are a great place to visit.
One thing I want is a house near the river Avon so I can get a small boat to enjoy.

Paid for and collected via a non-timewasting ebay purchaser. Lovely car. Sometimes you get a genuine person on eBay I had a guy. Buy my old car on buy it now. Pay a deposit. Get a train from Exeter when I’m in Birmingham. Turn up pay the rest and was on his way. Other times you just get time waster after time waster.

Great looking truck.
Bet you can’t wait to get it out and put some miles on it.

Well done! Nice to see an old car doing so well against all the new stuff.
That focus is a terrible looking car. Built to get likes on Instagram

Seat covers make the interior look a bit nicer. Looking for a new stereo as the read out on mine doesn’t light up.

Shame, as it spoils the enjoyment for me, can’t even pop out for lunch or something without worrying if the car will still be there when you get back.
Keep them locked up, and out of sight if you can.

What has everyone finished 2018 with car wise? And what’s you plans for this year, sell some cars, buy more or just finish what projects you’ve already got started? My plan is to get my Capri home this year and use it and I also want to look for a mk5 cortina estate to use for family trips to the sea side etc, and because I really want one. Post up your pics Escort, not been used in a couple of years and probably won’t for a couple more Capri, still being restored. Sent it away 5 years ago, it should be back this year though Z4, inherited from my dad, was his pride and joy so don’t want to sell it, needs quite a bit of work, but will get round to it one day M3, Currently sorn, used in the summer months, great car Mazda B2500, my main car, noisy, unrefined, basic, slow, but it’s fun,

Always like American cars with side marker lights, so fitted a 5mm led inside each indicator, half wish I had gone for orange led now, so might change them, and I might take the side light bulbs out of the headlights. Really can’t see myself selling this truck any time soon, I don’t like buying expensive modern cars unless they will hold their value, Can’t see this truck going down in value from what I paid in the next few years.

Watched the film jaws the other night. You should chop the roof off.

Love when old dials get some decent bulbs behind them, they looks so much better.

Great looking barn,
What’s the overall plan? Make it into a more open plan garage workshop?
