Ok, just to keep the forum going. Still trying to finish off the Nova kit for the daughter, Quad projector lights, one off dash with old style gauges, ford pinto engine in the back, completely new rear lift back, Corvette C5 rear lights, Audi TT fuel filler.
One or possibly two Eagle SS's, one Ford running gear with stainless steel chassis and 2l engine, new uncut body not fitted as yet, all running gear to be rebuilt first, still thinking of ideas for body and interior. Second eagle is VW based and haven't looked at it as yet.
1932 model B roadster, still collecting bits, now have a body mould, 15x15 weld wheels with micky thompson tyres for the rear 3.5x15 weld wheels for the front, 383 jensen interceptor engine and box, jaguar rear axle. Still need to build the chassis, make the body and locate seats, grille shell, bonnet top, lights and a hundred other bits.
Tonight I was rebuilding the power steering pump off my 79 vette L82 manual.
These are the projects currently on the go (except the vw eagle as I only just got that the other weekend), I still have a number of others that will have to wait for some of these to be done first. At least it keeps me off the streets I suppose.

Pic's are good so long as the photographer doesn't get too excited ;D If I get chance over the weekend I will take some, the most complete one is the Nova, only saying that so the forum police know in advance and don't get too upset and pull the photo just because it's not an eagle ;D oooh! look samss is back Hello

Well, I'm worn out from rebuilding cars so I'm having a break at the moment.
Well sort of......I am still working on some new fibreglass half doors for the RV and then some drop in side screens. Of course, all this to be done as soon as the hood has been fitted.
.................oh, and then theres the bike....... a bit of gentle personalising going on there too, I mean I have had it for a few months now.
It's an illness isn't it! Should be able to get car/bike rebuilding therapy on the NHS! ;D

Ok.................here's mine ;D Bought this off ebay a month or so ago: I didn't think it was a bad buy. It's taxed & tested & cost £300, so I am pleased with that as I have an incredibly limited budget right now It is currently at a mates whose brief is to monster it up as much as possible (he has complained already about the lack of budget ).I was hoping to do some of the work on it myself, but he got a bit excited & has started without me!! So far he has raised it up somewhat - about 6 inches at the front - with a spring over axel conversion jobby. He is starting to talk about buying tyres, which is a bit worrying. This is it now. I am reliant on him for pics so I will post more up as & when! ( - I know it isn't a kit car )

Looking good, but it realy does need nice tyres to set it off.

Nice tyres are better but remember they are going to get dirty

Hi all, I'm still in the process of finising off my mk1 Nova, just bought a cadillac pump off eBay to replace the broken one that was originally fitted years ago, so let's hope I can get the roof working as it should, I'm still after a Eagle ss, just no cash at the moment I've still got to finish off my Suzuki GS250T for the summer as well, anyone got a good set of carbs please let me know .

Pics would be good Hey TKC.........where are the ones you promised? Every morning I rush to the computer hoping to see your pics only to be met with disappointment. Men are often a disappointment & full of empty promises I find

Samms you and your big mouth, thought I could slide off without anyone noticing as I've had other things to do and haven't been able to take any photo's. Yes I know I said I would and as usual have let you all down AGAIN I Keep trying to impress you but have failed again haven't I? I must try harder. Anyway, as an update to projects, Yank tank still not back on the road, waiting for some parts from the states, Nova no further progress due to another larger project that can only be done when the weather is good (which it has been for a few weeks now) works will restart on the Nova very soon. Eagle SS No.1 now has no front suspension on it as it is getting sand blasted and powder coated. Eagle SS No.2 No movement, infact still on trailer. Hot rod a couple of extra bits bought but no construction done. Well there you go, now where are the photo's of the jeep then big mouth ;D Oh have we been let down or are you just doing what most women do and keeping us all waiting

You impressed me purely by rescuing me when I ran put of petrol...........generally I run into the middle of the road hoping someone will rescue a damsel in distress & they just run me over . You stopped & picked me up I think your eagless 2 is only still on the trailer cos you didn't have me there to help you with the offloading of it, as clearly you would never have got it up in the first place without my instruction.

Hmmmm..........I have seen Jon's plans for his car & they are great.
However I also saw something that Jon refered to as his ss at Stoneleigh last year.It was on a trailer. It may take a long while to make it actually look like a car ;D ;D
