Made from Half a Ford anglia van I bought yesterday, Will strengthen it up in a few places, get it into position, get it water tight and paint in in hammerite green, Will be a useful little garden shed for spades etc, as currently there’re all in the way in the garage. Misses not too impressed with it though Seeing it Makes me want to get a classic van to potter about in too

Have you filled it right to the top with Dinitrol? Now is the time Love these and I dearly miss my petrol BMWs, we still have an i3s but it doesn't have the feel of a 4.4 V8 or 6.0 V12 :/ Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing the engine swap! Yeah. Will have a good coat of underseal My favourite wheels on an e34, so had to buy a set, 17 inch so will get some comfort back as the 18’s don’t have much give in the tyre. Silly money these days but I can always sell seperate if I decide to sell up

Sorted the garden store today, nailed some old curtains on the front to keep them out of sight, as I don’t have time to start building doors for it. I have chained everything up to a tree though.

Engine and axle to pull and that’s it for the silver one, then it’s the blue ones turn. Has been pretty easy to get rid of most of it.

Nothing much been going on, wanted to give the inside lick of white paint and sort out the roof, won’t have chance again now the weather is on the turn, the garage is full of stuff and my dads old z4. I’ve got an old temporary garage I built at the in laws which I’m going to take down a rebuild it behind the garage and put the z4 in so I have space in the main garage. I got a load of free pallets and built a wood shed and half built a garden store which needs finishing. Cleared behind the garage now and will get the garage built this month before the weather goes bad

Sell the escort, the Capri does look a bit more special, just buy something like this, a bit retro but modern and reliable

That the end of the road for the silver one, bits are coming off, will try and get rid of it fairly soon, can’t have it sitting in the drive for ages I found an app where you sell catalytic converters, it’s gives a price of £308 each, ive got 4 between both cars, is that what these things are with these days? And the last owner wasn’t lying, £1000 quid set of blisteins and eibach springs. Selling parts is a pain though, total idiots, time wasters or stupid offers,

After waiting 5-6 months to find a donor car with sport bumpers. Another has turned up which I should also be collecting on Saturday morning, although I’ve paid a deposit the seller is trying to back out now saying he’s had a better offer, but I’ve told him we’ve agreed a price and I’ve sent a deposit and he should honour that and sell it to me, the car is pretty rotten and the other offer is way over the top for the value of the car. So I won’t be upping my offer and will see if he doesn’t cancel the sale.

Those look like standard leather seats with an "M" style badge pressed into them, not worth as much as the Sport seats, but still in good condition and black leather is a desirable colour so worth some money. Sport bumpers always seemed to sell well, I can't remember what I got for mine when I was breaking a Sport but had plenty of interest, I even sold the full sunroof cassette out of my touring to someone so if the sunroof on that car works it might be worth considering! Yeah it’s only an SE model as half the interior is still grey. Last owner changed to black seats and door cards. Yeah sport bumpers are best part of £400-£500 each now. I’ll try and sell everything I can.

I haven’t seen the car in 2 months. It’s been at a specialist for a full check over as it’s 30 years old and I want to put my family in in safely. its had some welding and awaiting fuel Pipe replacements and then hopefully will be back in a week or two. In the mean time today I discovered two easy steps to get your misses in a mood with you. Step 1. Drive off with an empty trailer. Step two return a few hours later with a full trailer Sport bumpers, m5 kick plates, m parallel wheels and bilstein shocks plus loads of other good stuff I can sell on and keep all the good bits for the touring.
