Post pictures and stories about your cars both present and past. Also post up "blogs" on your restoration projects - the more pictures the better! Note: blog-type threads often get few replies, but are often read by many members, and provide interest and motivation to other enthusiasts so don't be disappointed if you don't get many replies.

Started stripping the car down.Only a few bits left to remove and then its off to be blasted.
Never been welded anywhere.No patches on floor or chassis.
How long did it take you to strip it down that far? It looks like you aren't wasting any time on getting stuck in.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

What a daunting project! Having read through your threads however im sure this is gonna be epic...makes me almost ashamed of worrying what to do about the microblisters on my new projects paintwork now! (Still dont know what to do mind - trying to be cheap and avoid the inevitable respray)
There were only two decent cars when I was a lad at agricultural college - a Minor Traveller that our pedantic machinery lecturer drove and the '65/6 Mk1 Lotus Cortina that our "beef cattle" lecturer drove (like a maniac). I suspect the project will look a lot better than the six-year old one that the lecturer had!
Not bad going - four pages and the car has hardly been touched yet!! This page is bookmarked now!
