Weekly Unfinished Project listings...

Postby Relentless Rob » Tue Nov 22, 2011 4:53 pm

...sometimes a bargain, sometimes a bottomless pit that remains unfinished for several changes of ownership. Either way it's the sort of thing I think we're interested in seeing. Not only as a potential project for us to finish off or a wealth of parts for one of our projects.

V8 Mini anyone?

As a finders fee I'll paint the car for you. Any colours so long as it's blue and orange. ;)

That looked brilliant. I think it ended yesterday. Shame it was Brat/Brumby running gear and no Justy bits at all. Would have made to the page if the seller knew his arse from his elbows. ;)

Sad thing is (apart from being able to tell an 1800 Brat engine from a 1300 Justy at a casual glance) Justy running gear would have been quicker and would have fitted within the original Metro dimensions. The 6R4-esque body kit did a fairly good job of hiding most of it but I think it's just a Metro shell on a Brat floor. Ideal a base for a WRX transplant in the future. ;)

A tad expensive but these have a lot of potential.

Much as I'd love this...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1976-P-Silver ... 0905836560

...I think this weeks unfinished project of the week should go to this...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Burlington-Ar ... 336feb89f0

...looks like a Triumph Vitesse with a scratch built Aluminium body. The Firenza would make good money and needs a couple of weekends tarting up but the Arrow would be more of a challenge and equally as rewarding. :)

Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics.
