  5. #Mini update. Deposit placed!

    An original Irish 998cc Austin Mini, complete with brown log book. Resprayed a few years ago, with a little corrosion on the front corner seams.

    Engine rebuilt and bored slightly, plus a recent service, new coil and other bits from Deane's. Front discs, stainless exhaust and 10" steel wheels.

    Heading back to Meath at the weekend to collect it. File pic from the ad because I forgot to take one.

    Celebrated by clearing space in the shed!

  15. I’ve been a bit MIA from Mastodon for the last few days, but there’s a good reason. I bought a 1974 MGB GT V8 project from the father of a friend of mine. Aside from needing a good deal more work, there was a catch. The car was in Burnet, Texas. I live in Michigan.

    So me, my friend, and another friend are on a mission to run down to Texas to retrieve Gerald the GT and bring him back to Michigan.

  20. Just saw a silver Ford Cortina Mk3 with huge bonnet scoop.

  21. I've finally added a two way breather valve to my fuel tank which will hopefully make filling the tank easier. I hope to never test its roll over protection functionality.

    I could have just strapped it but it was an excuse to print something in ABS. Only the MOT tester is ever likely to see it, but it pleases me.

  22. Over in France, someone else has picked up a Citroen BX mug. This is the version that has the Mk1 and Mk2 illustrations of this iconic 80s family hatchback.

  23. I sold the Rover because a Citroen BX 1.7RD came up at the right price. It also promptly burst a hydraulic line just before collection so it was fun getting that on the recovery truck, and off again. Loved this thing, just right for me until I stopped doing long distance runs and then the diesel made no sense for me. Really enjoyed my time with it.

  24. At this point I had three broken cars. Or maybe I'd got rid of the red one... I'm not sure. Life was a bit broken around about now so I'm not so clear on the timeline. Anyway, what I definitely didn't need was an end of life Citroen BX estate, formerly owned by Hubnut, so obviously I ended up with that. BXs are one of my all time favourite cars, I love them, even worn out they're still good.

    One of the few cars I've scrapped, it needed too much.
