Due to my current situation, no car stuff for me. Had a load of trouble with the Council over the workshop, basically we've had to move out. The vast majority of my parts and transmission stuff have been sold. I am currently on with the mammoth task of clearing out 50 years worth of stuff from my Mums house. In the loft I have found a ton of stuff from my childhood, most of it is going on ebay, heres a couple of examples...

And there's plenty more, this has turned into a 2nd job.....

Had the Ecurie Ecosse car transporter for my birthday when it first came out only had the transporter and not the cars as you could buy them separately as my mum and dad couldn't afford to buy me it complete

Haven't started yet but have a project about to start, the other orange falcon that was on ebay over the xmas, car needs gone through + want to paint it back to one of the original race car colour schemes, probably the craig lownes green eyed monster, which is going to mean painting it silver inside & out which will be a mega task inside because of all the cage + electrics then getting a partial black wrap over the silver on the outside

Looks great Ivor.really nice glad someone is getting something done.how are your knees? and your back for that matter? very rewarding work Yanks try to copy that look over here and it is similar but yours looks better
Its foot ball season over here and I know most if not all of you dont care for pro sports ,but it is a nice break for me to get break from cars for a bit.
,but it is a tradition for me , we have had season tickets since 67
so our local team is in the thick of the playoffs and so I attend home games and tomorrow we will brave the cold temps -11 c but we have gear for this type of stuff,
we have a really well balanced team this year and earned a #1 seed in the playoffs tomorrow is one step toward the Superbowl,
any way GO BRONCOS!
