1400ish kgs according to google.

Never been a huge fan of these. Those engines are horrendously thirsty and also slow! I’ll stick to the red blocks and the smokers.

The chopping gets done at Craig’s house. His neighbours hate me.

I don’t think many on here would be that bothered. My old one was on chopped springs and I managed to survive. A miracle I know, but it didn’t kill me. I guess we’ll just have to see what happens.

Changed the fuel filter on the green one as it was running s**t. Turns out it’s running some additional aftermarket pump as well. It was still running s**t so I filled it up with diesel and it’s now running a lot better. Must just have to keep the thing above half a tank!

I think you’d get a lot better for £3000. I’d personally go for something with an interior and some good suspension. Ripping the seats out makes f**k all difference and just makes the car harder to sell (unless youre after a dedicated track car that is). The more original ish cars are holding...

Who did the belts would be my question. Does he have an invoice? Was the depahser done? What’s the paintwork like? To me that’s a £2000 car with some orange paint on it.

Off to chesterfield. Hopefully the new owner will keep it on the road.

Out in the 740 today. It’s longer than the vxr8 which surprised me! Still managed to get it in the garage though.

It’s not the tank, it’s the fuel filler people they’ve chopped. Sold it anyway so should be going tomorrow.

I buy and sell a lot and the one thing that makes a car difficult to sell (in my experience) is high mileage. You’ve either got to get the car a fit bit cheaper or plan for long term ownership. That’s my two Penneth worth anyway.

The new one passes the 10ft test. Kind of.

Got the new one started but then it cut out. Went to put some new fuel in and it appears that someone has drilled the tank. c***s.

Yeah, and only one works at the moment!

The other wreck arrived.

Picked up some new wheels for the 740. Massive offset issues but I think with some 6ft spacers it could look ok.

Im just trying to work out how to spend more money on it.

Plus it’s only a Vauxhall badge. The rest of the car is a Holden. I’m not sure that’s much better...

Some people like old man German cars and some people like old man Swedish cars.

Previous owner said 280bhp but I think that’s a tad optimistic. Probably around 225-250bhp at a rough guess. It’s certainly nippy.

I have a passion for old volvos.

Yeah, this ones for shows and Sunday drives.

This one is my garage queen. Had a lot of money spent on it by previous owners and pretty quick for a late 80s car. Just need to find some decent wheels and then potentially bring the rear up as it’s borderline reverse rake. Some pics;

In the home booth today sorting out the silver front splitter. Decided to go Matt black so was out bright and early to home bargains to get a can of primer and a couple of cans of Matt black. Front bumper masked up. And then in primer. And painted; Pretty happy with how it came out...

Not had a clio in a while! Must be at least a year now.

No.

No, that ship has officially sailed.
