Hello all, i'm dude and i'm an caraholic.
In somewhat cronological order, i got my drivers license 2 and a half year ago.
my first sierra, used for ice track duties. Was taken of the road beacuse it leaked fuel, a track-rod end was bad and the drivers seat mount was badly rusted. Otherwise in great nick. 2 litre carb pinto. Now scrapped.
1986 2 litre carbed pinto, got this of my grandmother, first roadlegal car. Now turned upside down at my parents place for spares. Soon to be scrapped
Owned this with 3 other boys, used for beer-drinking and other anti-social behavior. Still sits around rotting away. 3.8 v6
2 litre carbed pinto, terrible car, hated it over everything in the world, had it for about a month.
1993 ghia 2.0 inj. dohc Best sierra i've had, lot's of grunt with some minor performance modifications, and low as hell. Welded diff etc. Crashed. (welded diffs kills etc ;D )
1990 audi coupe, 2.2 n/a engine, bilstein suspension etc, got it really cheap with a blown headgasket, my dad promised to fix it. He didn't so i made him buy it from me. Still sits in the garage.
A really cool and cheap e28, in terrible shape. 2 litre engine with a broken rocker. Interior barely held togheter by wood screws and tape. Not a single stock wire left. Bought the ratty rusted e30 for the 2.5 engine to put in it. Changed the engine, headgasket blew, and so did my budget and patience. Still got the car, rusting away waiting for a m30b35. The 2.5 engine was in terrible shape too btw.
2.0 injected ohc, ghia koni suspension etc. Great fun. Crashed and sold it for less than the koni's were worth to get the next car bought as i was skint.
I got the corolla next to it in a trade for the crashed dohc. It was more rust than car so i donated it to my little brother as a field/ice car
2.0 petrol, slow and terrible to drive, but sure looked the part.
Now sold.
1970 ford 20m 2.3 v6 Lots of work, etenity-project. (and for sale)
2.0 injected dohc, changed the alot of the interior from home-sprayed light grey and silver to a stock dark one, ripped the silver bump-strips of it and put a bumper on, and a week before mot-time swmbo wrecked it. Still got it for ice-track duties.
Took a loan and bought a proper car. 1977 chevrolet camaro, 350 with a slushbox. In need of money, mot, wheels and tires and a bigger engine.
My daily driver at the moment, 305 and a slushbox. Knackered left rear wheel bearing, waiting for the tire to overtake the car any day now ;D Sluggish.
I don't have a job at the moment, so my car-plans are kinda to a halt right now, but when i get some extra cash in i'd like to
a) find a m30b35 for the bmw and get it mot'd.
b) buy a rwd v6 sierra and a 24v scorpio, and mate the two.
Both needs about the same budget, i'd guess a 24v sierra is a much more reliable and economical car, but on the other hand i've already got the e28... and it just looks so hard!
Then sell the caprice, and put the money in a proper engine for the camaro.
