Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

there's still a tonne of stuff to go. the next steps (after welding the cage):

1. fuel tank & lines/brake lines
   
2. fire
   
3. engine/box/cooling/engine bay shit
   
4. dash/electrics
   
5. seats belts etc
   

anyone have a dremel i can borrow?

Sure - PM me.

Us too. Could dosgbody for you too the next time you need an extra hand.

sweet. could do with the help. be good to catch up, too.

This is for a massive 6l+ lump of glorious American petrol chugging V8 monstrosity with enough torque to slow down the earth's rotation. Right?

How much of a douche-bag would I look driving this? Asking for a friend.

that's my next project - a gold oldsmobile toronado with a 455 and the widest tyres (tires?) the world has ever seen

Converted to something close to 442 spec? In.

massive front wheel drive elevens down brockley high street, with motorhead blasting...

a later one in black.

The only 70's FWD coupé I'm interested in...

'perfect investment Land Rover'

Take my money now...

That dealer has some other notable Land Rovers.

The Toro is 60s !!!

Good looking car the Toronado but can you imagine the directional infarct when the inevitable one tyre fire swaps wheels?

You need a brown, 1970 Riviera GS instead. Same old 455 but with the donkeys driving the correct end of the bus.

God I love yank cars.

If anyone was considering going to Breakfast club at Goodwood on Sunday 3rd March, on a whim I submitted to display the Volvo in the grounds as the theme is "Estates", and it was accepted so it'll be on display.

No doubt I'll end up parked next to an Alpina E34 estate or an FF or something else that everyone wants to fawn over instead, but... pretty hyped.

I want something like that so badly. Given what else you've got going on, it probably wouldn't even stand out as the wild money pit amongst them.

500 update...

Engine seems to be better after the sensor fix... *touches wood*

Locked it this am in car park and ripped door handle off.

Most US cars just don't look right over here, the light is too dull and unflattering.

Mate has a f350 (?) 70s pickup truck, he can pull it off though as he's 6'4 and an ex marine.

That challenger looks pretty standard, maybe for 5-6k but can't see many folk spending that much on one like that.

That was always going to happen at some point. The next thing to happen is the tailgate wire harness will chew itself in half.
