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

Is there a way to check the lightbulb works?
I'm like that with my Triumph.

Comes on at startup so does work.

Don;t start me thinking like that you git! ;)

Really interesting photo-set

Saw a modern peugeot the other day that I actually like the look of.

boo. i was pricing up 5-link rear ends and everything!

:)

I've got a spare 440ci Mopar lump if you want? May not be the most natural fit, but.....

Lovely mash up car based on marrying up different sections of classic Chevys.

imagine that.

i'd probably need to buy another b, slice it lengthways and widen mine.

fuck it - let's mid-mount it.

Use enough vaseline and we could squeeze it in. Maybe convert to front leafs and a solid axle, jack that puppy right up....MG Gasser....

just do it all in one go. that's where i fucked up. mine had sat for about the same time. i drove until something went, then fixed it (although, if one part went, i replaced the whole lot - brake hoses, etc). i should have just gone through and changed EVERYTHING rubber and all of the consumables before even driving it. instead i would do one or two a payday, but they seemed to rack up quicker than i could cross them off the list. it just feels like the car is always broken down.

ls1's fit :)

ok, mates xj6 with ls1 is up and running (off to exhaust shop today for twin 2.5" system, hiflow cats, muffler and rear resinator each side, plus h pipe), all electrics and guages etc done. turned out pretty good, still a couple things to do, permanent fixture for ECU and do an OTR CAI, swap the diff for 3.33 lsd, put the air con back on.

The RCZ 200 also out-handles a Focarse ST (or whichever fast focus it was with a bit more bhp)

want.

I'm super tempted to buy as a project:

Nice- what engine?

Pah cotton, wool, or paper.
