Just 1 as you know martin
got me rally slag which is just a way of road testing bits for the mk1 really, got the mk1 which is about to start being stripped for welding and doing properly, and i have to keep the yella peril going for the missus (not that it ever needs much!)
I've got 1 x mk1 escy which needs loads of mods done to it 1 x mk3 escort cabby that i'm ripping the front end off to mk4 it and give a full respray, 1 x VFR400 thats needs putting back together and last but not least my DNA 50 scooter that i've just resprayed needs finishing off
so just a few
3 Anglia's here in varying states of rot !

My project is keeping Elaine happy
2: mk1 Mexico & Living Room.
And not in that order unfortunately......
Got 2 mk1 escorts - a 4 door 1300e shell with mexico mechanicals which I will be using as a doner car (dash, mex wings & axle etc.) and a 2 door tax exempt shell that needs serious work (wings, floorpans, front panel, inner & outer sills, rear arches & wing bottoms, struts & supports etc). This is having a 2.0 pinto, twin 40's & 5 speed put in with a cossie bottom end (now built and ready to go). I have got all the panels for the 2 door but I am going to 'temporarily' fit the pinto into the 4 door and 'carefully run it in' while I spend my time doing up the 2 door shell. Should keep me busy for the winter at least.
just one mk1 rs2000 progress is good but very very slow maybe done by next summer
RS2000 No1 Nordic blue - needs the floor painting and putting back together.
RS2000 No2 Diamond white - needs engine bay, bonnet, wing tops and nose cone painting, and then putting back together.
RS2000 No3 (this is a possible purchase - still to be decided, but I'm looking at it Saturday)
Harrier - finish welding the floor, refit interior, and return to standard engine, box ,brakes and suspension etc before selling it.
Sierra - (The Gimpanator) needs an o/s/f wing or scrapping
Scorpio -needs a head gasket and some light body work or selling as it is. ( 6 months MOT, can be taxed - fully loaded - leather,air,full electrics drives really well apart from intermittant light overheating -make me an offer)
Golf Gti 16v - It has an electrical gremlin that needs microwaving
Secret project : (you may see this at the drift day ) Needs an LSD fitting and an engine oil change.
NTV650 - needs a gearbox ( or selling as spares/Viking funeral - to be decided )
You sure you haven't got more than that Rob!!
1x special 1938 project (needs more done on it before I let the cat out of the bag!!)
1x 16i that needs some welding, mint hatchback fitting and full respray then tidying up as it's rebuilt
1x mk2 Mex that needs stripping out and finding out what horrors lay beneath. Then arch and cossie it
Did have a cossie to break and sell of but some nice guy came and offered me £700 more than I paid for it so I now have his hand!!!! (ripped of for those of you wondering )
Oh yeh, I also have a ZX9R to put back together (fairing damage! )
And a house in cornwall to tart up, finish of and sale!
and somewhere in between this lot they expect me to work
It's just not fair
1 x mk2, and ermmm, well, err...suppose ive gotta tidy my room up
i could do with a very cheap(free) motor bike to play with now i'm might be allowed to have one again
I've Got 1 Mk1 Mexico Thats Having A Fairly Major Rebuild.
1 Mk3 Capri Thats On The Road And Near Completion-Should Be Ready At Easter Time.
A Rebuild To A Lancia Delta Hf Turbo Engine Or Croma Turbo Engine If My Mate Can Find One And Fit It To A Mk1 Escort. And Last But Not Least Another Mates Car When He Finishes His Ban And Makes His Mind Up On What He Wants,VW Camper Van Or Mk1/2 Escort.
Aint Old School Great!
three cars two projects
one f plate 1600 gl estate escort, getting interior stripped and any surface rust sorted out, no welding needed, just a pre-emptive strike, flushing old oil out of engine by means of three or four oil changes one after the other, then putting new cam in , taking engine out and selling it, then im gonna put a zvh with 40's or 45's (more likely the latter) in its place stuck onto a recon or new s2 lsd box (funds permitting).
mk1 fez pop plus, needs some welding to boot and some iffy work on floorpan/bulkhead, just doing it as a runaround for when the lass passes her test, may keep or sell when she gets a newer car
See my sig! All project cars unfortunately
You're in the same boat as me m8... Too many projects..
Cheers
Craig
Yes Craig - and unfortunately that's not even the half of it!
Picked most of 'em up when I thought I was the old ford division of the RSPCA (RSPCOF?!)
