78 clubby. ratty paint, smashed front, different colour bootlid. "sandblasted" widscreen, leaky window seals. speedo cable broken/not attatched. piston rings or valve stem seals on one cyl stuffd = running on 3 lowing lots of smoke, using lots of oil. soundls like a lawnmower. one mis-matched wheel (not the spare) drivers side quarter window not lockable, barrel missing from passenger side lock. drivers side door missing window seal. window winders hard to use. constant electrical problems, consistently bad brakes.

and i love it :D

1978 Clubby nicknamed `Bently'...
Bent front (it didn't keep left at chicane sign, haha) and subframe.
Stroked 998- PO overrevved it so it threw #3 rod cap out the front- trashed the gearbox case and block. :P
no rust though- surprising for a `78. 8)

One day it'll be resurrected. :wink:

<edit> Was sold last week to Kyoda. She can do it, I have enough projects already.:wink:

I could add the Jag if that helps

1986 XJS - Claude

12 sparks plug to change,
one distributor to rebuild,
one a/c amplifier to fit,
four inboard rear brake pads to change,
one cruise control regulator to rebuild,
two FI plenums to reweld so that they are sealed,
one windscreen leak to fix,
one ecu to reprogramme once I have done the plenums,
one front valance to remove, derust, paint and replace.

and the Moke

1971 Moke - one brake pipe and an air filter (then its finished)

OK ....

Sports850 ,
interior needs a good clean and touch up , exterior a deep clean and polish . Tune up wouldn't go astray either and it NEEDS club plates for some fun

Moke ,
Needs rego basically , it's all good . drivers seat a little tatty but that's it .

Van ,
Motor painted and put back in , engine bay painted , roll cage put in , interior tidied/finish fitting and club plates .

Fang ,
Brakes , electrics , interior , exterior , time ........
