ETG's - shed of shambles and some shinyshite too
OK - so this is just an intro - as I've managed to get some photo's together in one place for once……. and have a bit of spare time this afternoon….. so here goes -
E28 long gone - 2500S still in the naughty corner in the grage It's all rust free (I think) after serious surgery. Engine still turns over and fires up - but being dropped on the casing has cause untold problems - it's awaiting an engine and box transplant - my car my rules
It's sitting next to this - which I'll get running and use later this year - just as it is...…. front of wings are shot, so Ladaspares will be raided at some point.
and this bought for sweet fuck all from Bramz - it towed everything around, went to France and Poland on holiday trips and never missed a beat. It's a shonky wreck now sadly, out of MoT - and will be given the death blow soon. I looked underneath and vomited! Local exporters will mean I earn on it though to be fair.

Re: ETG's - shed of shambles and shoddy shitefettling
Amongst the detritus - I also have the future track only car. Awaiting decision on which engine swap or if a turbo or supercharger shall be fitted…….
and I am currently contemplating getting this thing over here so I can play with it...….. sympathetic repairs needed I think - ex ShiteKnight, Alcy et al..... I give you - THE KNOBVAN
to be towed by this -
a 3.0TD - and it's been 'played with' by a previous owner. Colc over on AS had it for a while but unknown origins. It's a fast old bus! Munchkin loves it, so it's staying for the forseeable……. and I am currently contemplating getting this thing over here so I can play with it...….. sympathetic repairs needed I think - ex ShiteKnight, Alcy et al.....

Re: ETG's - shed of shambles and shoddy shitefettling
which brings me to the usual suspects...….
It was to be daily - but currently blowing harder than Katie Price trying to get herself out of debt…… Like KP - it has holes that should seal up - but fail to do so miserably - causing pain and distress to the general public soon to be fettled though (unlike KP)
and the lovely, lovely, nay - SUBLIME XJR6 - purchased a while back and only this last weekend picked up - due to Eurostar mess and then a vehicular FTP (see below)
I've already fallen in love with this thing and bushes, springs and shocks are all being investigated as the undercrackers will be sorted as only a gentleman could do with old undercrackers…… and it was picked up - becasue this thing decided to let all the sparks out of the spark holding plastic wirey bits in the middle of the night near Lanark…….. I haven't heard from the local wire-wizards yet, but expect a whirly spark maker to be needed…… in it's favourite pose..... CUNT (for now anyway)

and lastly - you may not see any more of this - as the seller has disappeared off the face of het earth……. therfore I may be saved unending pain and depression in CF amounts. If he does get back to me - I may be sectioned upon collection
I may even update this thread as I actually get my finger out! Miracles DO happen...…….- Hooli

I didn't realise you had that pickup thing now. Nice selection of tat there, well done.

The CF looks abhorrent, and the half-a-Hiace just hurts my head to look at.
I won't lie, I think knobvan looks a bit shit since it's been painted.
The rest of your stuff is top class though!

Re: ETG's - shed of shambles and shoddy shitefettling
Forgot - I've "owned" this for over a year…… but the only time I could get to Isle of Jersey moo moos---- to collect. It of course, wouldn't fucking start...….… been right as rain since then for Craig - who is using it to lug shit all over the place.
It's fucking hanging - but it was only £50
and its a T5 - so I'm going to kill myself at some point in ti I'm sure.
EDIT - Craig just posted this

Sodding XJR - to be fair its the massive potholes near here. Last one was an almighty bang... Allloy and tyre OK so plod on. Knocking over everything less than perfect now - FUCK - I was already eyeing up suspension bushes so now shocks will be added. May as well do the springs while I'm in there...... This shit gets fucking expensive REALLY fucking quickly.
