What breed of dog is that? Almost looks like some sort of Bedlington terrier?

Airedale terrier

Cheers. One happy looking dog!

You missed the Weiand 6/71 from the list...

Interesting read, thanks for the link- interested to see where it goes.

We’ve had that tappet carrier file generated btw.

Thanks -it's a long way off doing a skid presently but i'm hoping to outsource some of the work i'm running out of talent with. As soon as it comes back i'm putting seat mounts in and the pedal box plinth and then it's bodywork time.

Oh good, do you want to send me the file? i can open it and have a look

Haha I love those things. Every now and then I see one driving around. The noise is marvellous. Proper Mad Max.

Please the photos...
Do want 142 or 145 (earlier the better) to bring back to the UK and not ruin, promise.

This is awesome!

Anyone going to the London Motor Show this weekend?

If anyone is after an early Mini Cooper, my pal is selling an absolute cracker.

fuck that is lovely.

I have always really wanted an early mini but never had space to keep it

I'm guessing that it is £much

PM me if you want to know. I think it is quite reasonable. He's flogging it to purchase an Alfa Spider.

If anyone is free on Sunday and wants to give me a hand finishing of the front end of Sylvie the Racer, I would welcome the muscle...

No scraping underseal, I promise!

I wish i could buy it. it is a hoot to drive.

Where is the car? i could play spanners maybe

Oh good, do you want to send me the file? i can open it and have a look

Check your PM's

There's some old stuff on retro rides that i've been slowly updating here:

Just finished reading the thread. Awesome work. Can't wait to see the cage.

They keep posting pics of other people’s cars they’re putting cages in on instagram, the suspense is killing me.

Thanks to everyone who took time reading my build thread. Reading some of the old posts make me cringe slightly but the current work is a new chapter in many ways
