This page is dedicated to restorations that have been done, are being done, are waiting to be done.....the knowledge, spare parts, help, support and tea

Some restorations never get started........
The Start from which 'Kermit' emerged...
A Plan coming together.......
Help & advice is always offered on 'Alternative' projects........
First step ....... Buy a car (circa 1986) & have lots of fun, drive it like you stole it....
Take it to bits, wow ........
Hey, that's all white.......
Strong engine, just waking up........
Got to get back to a smooth complexion .....
All there, just needs fine tuning......

.............and it will keep rolling
Give it plenty of fuel......

it's finally on the road, there are spares,
sympathy, the best suppliers recommended
or just a spare pair of hands to do some lifting.
Come along now.....you will be welcome..
Gas flowed, lightened, balanced, fast road things added, with Hi Torque bits .......hum this is a car to drive.
Perfection....
From 'problem' starting to full restoration, there is plenty of help on hand.........
Generally abuse it, treat 'em mean keep 'em keen!!! Lots of wind, rain & snow.....always adds to it...So you can spend lots of money on it when you decide you can't bear to sell it....
But I didn't want a red one........oh yes that's primer....
WOW..........drive it like you stole it....again......!!!!
