Hi all

I'm new here and would just like to say hello and post a few pics of
my daily driver and my two projects. Project 1 is a restoration and project 2 is a hillclimb car. Looking forward to talking to you all.

Cheers
Dermot

I am makin slow progress of late due to me getting married abroad recently.
But i'm getting back in the swing of things.

Have put up a new workshop that might help things along.

I am in the process of ordering a Pro Motive kit for the hillclimb car.

The 1980 austin 998 will take up to much time so this one is being stripped for auto jumble soon. :(

Do all the references to R1 bits and bobs not give that away ? :lol:

Did you not see the master cylinders protruding out into the front of the car. The engine is in the back of the GTM, so there is much more space to allow this.

Dermot,

Not a technical question like the others, but rather is your garage the one from Argos ?

@ zakgt

Yes it is the one from argos and i have to say it's better than i thought it would be.
I'm 6ft and can stroll up and down without stooping. And as for width if you look at
the pic the gtm is wider than my mini and there is still plenty of room at the sides.
