Not a lot seems to be happening on here at the moment, maybe everyone is starting their autumn winter projects? I've given meself loads to do to me cars thru the winter, what projects have everyone else got?
Gotta get my garage sorted. It's full of woodworm and has got to come down and be rebuilt. Just hoping we have a mild and dry October (famous last words!)
An autumn get together sounds good too Dell. What have you in mind ?
well asha is getting his moggie on the road... and si is hopefully helping luca with his moggie so it will be up and runing for next season...as well as the pop...
Plans for autumn....hmmm....well, Help chucky get his engine back together. Put some nice rims on the Beetle. Pick up a cheap classic to work on cos the Beetles nearly done. A Minor perhaps? About it for cars really.

help me get me engine back together? i've almost done it, just the carb to go back on and thats it! there is plenty of other things you can do- like rubbing the paintwork down
i've got a few things i want to do to me pop but most work will be on the consul, getting the carb overhauled, smooth off the bodywork and respray with satin black, white roof, black and white interior, a nice home made stainless steel grille that i am currently working on, and some bigger steel wheels with white walls.
Get the cosworth lump fitted, get my mate Andy to fabricate a new inlet manifold for some carbs, hook up my megajolt ECU to run the Ford EDIS system. get a few bits welded, Fit my digital dash display, lower it front and rear, fit a new stereo (can't live without a bit of psychobilly playing away) fit new numberplates which i'll order from Si when the time comes, and fit nice new numberplate lights to illuminate it.
yeh, good luck with that Martin, should be great when done.
i've just been on egay and bought meself a bottom rad hose as i am desperate for one, with less than 2 minutes to go it was at £6.09 and after my little flurry against 2 others i finally won it at a total cost of £30.59!!! christ, i hope its gold plated and he delivers it in person, fits it, and supplies the coolant too!!
all i need now is a carb, and there just so happens to be one on egay
I MAKE NO APPOLOGY FOR THE LACK OF CAR RELATED MUMBO-JUMBO IN THIS POST. I don't do oily bits.
My plan is to try to finish Lizzie quilt that I've been working on since she was a few days old! 4 and a hlaf years on I think I ought to get it finished. Then finish a few more UFO's as us quilters say.
So that's what I intend to do while Mike is dreaming and planning Kustoms.
Thanks Dell and Chuckypop, I'm just hoping all my hours of planning and reading up will pay off. the only thing i'm not sure on yet is which carbs to use, thinking possibly weber 38 dgas. I would love to use bike carbs but am unsure of the setup for those. any carb reccomendations greatly appreciated
I`ve also jus` put a bid in for another Humber wagon,rumour has it is that it was once owned by the Queen Mum.........That wont stop me breaking it tho

My Autum project (The Caddy ) Will still be going by next autumn as im now waiting for a second airbag ! The first one was wrong. Im begining to wonder if it will ever roll again ! Getting fed up now as its only the airbag i need to MOT the car.
Hey 66Chev...did that last year...was a great day out and a brilliant cruise down to the coast...BUT...take wet weather clothing...i got caught on the way home and HotRod Widow, myself and our littleun got drenshed on the way home...now we arnt talking a bit wet here, we are talking full on soaked to the grundies wet...20mph down the motorway cos we couldn't see a fecking thing.... the year before they had 6 inches of snow....so enjoy yourself.
Now to bring this back on topic...i have just spent over a grand on some go faster stuff from the states for next years drags and have a few top secret things planned for the winter...I would like to say more but I cant....second thoughts...Wont...lol...might even throw a bit of paint on her....probably more satin black though....dont like shinney, dont like polishing and dont want to be scared of using her in anger.... Might even get some pie crust slicks from R&R imports to solve my traction problem... well thats me done.

After helping to fit Sniper's, (sorry that should be Giggles' kitchen with only minor leaks on the plumbing!) time now to move house and build a nice big garage with workshop to fit the two bikes and ...........
We were without water last weekend for just over 24 hours, but it was worth it. The kitchen is looking sweet as a nut. Got 1 more unit to make up once we've finished the plastering, then it's wall tiles and lino and gloss paint (to be done when kiddies are at school or in bed!)
Slightly off topic, but I'm hoping to finish Lizzie's quilt by Christmas. Photo's to be posted once it's done. Just under 5 years loving work.
