  1. Ha, thanks, I am tempted by some bubble windows, but originals are a fortune nowadays and I'm just not sure I could handle the stress of cutting into that original body.. Ooh, that's my reading sorted for tonight
  2. Well the Mustang and the truck are now sold, but not before I finished the truck which ended up looking like this: Mustang was sold in bits. But, van had bit of a makeover this past year. Interior revamp underway but exterior now looking much better; chrome grille, NOS mirrors, sidepipes, slot mags, original paint cut and polished, etc: Also it was my birthday this week so treated myself to this, the UK's oldest Mk1, left in a barn in 1982 with one owner and less then 17k miles. Always wanted a modified preflow in this colour, but haven't found one in years of looking so thought I'd enjoy this in the meantime. Bought it off the guy who had it nut and bolt restored underneath, but kept the patina outside (including ageing any fresh paint) and the original interior just got a clean.
  3. Hi GP - good luck with the sale! @jonboy1 - are you thinking what I'm thinking you're thinking..?
  4. Just amazing. Simply amazing. Right, what's next..?!
  5. Hey Baz - yes, they do seem to be up there with unicorn tears on the rarity scale! Would definitely be interested in a reproduction set and, as @KEV THE REV suggests I doubt I'll be the only one in the queue! Cheers
  6. As much as I like my Ranger it irks me that it's got no glass! Anyone have any that they're willing to part with? Not interested in Blackfoot tinted screens thanks.
  7. My own personal Holy Grail - an original SWB M38 box, have been after one for a couple of years now, and another SS from the same vendor to complete my box-to-car collection:
  8. A new addition to my small collection linked above is this purposeful 205 GTI, bought to compete next year (hopefully..) in local Targa Rallies. I've been marshalling targas ever since I started competing in the autusolos in my white 205 and always thought it looked like a whole lotta fun, but my white one is way too nice/low for mixed surfaces. So, this 'previously enjoyed', built for purpose car is much more suitable and I won't be crying if it gets more bumps and bruises. Which it will.. Here's hoping local motorsport can return to a bit of normality next year..!
  9. You had a GN at high school?! Amazing - looks in great condition too. All stock..?
  10. Shameless plug for my leftovers - happy bidding !! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284049674411
  11. Wait, what, no! And some idiots in the UK pay to bring that stuff over here!
