What Other Cars/Projects Do You Have Around?

[Finly Owner]

I will start:

I have a 1967 VE Valiant sedan which has a later mode front end, will run a 265hemi with auto on original column. The diff is being modified to fit a Centura diff onto leaf springs. Pace maker headers will connect to 2" pipe through 2 hot dogs. Using late model stud pattern I will be using 5spoke alloys capped with 225/65/14.

Then there's the Austin A50 1955 sedan. Needs some rust repair and minor interior work. Motor suns sweet and is 1500 I think we found as it's not original. Need a clutch cylindar. And want to fit original type 5.50-15 tyres.

Along with those is the 1966 F500 truck. If I am honest there is a lot of rust but, mechanically it really smooth apart from a brake hydraulic leak. Fitted with gas. Newish truck tyres. At momement has "flame" paint work on red. Looks good.

I call them inspiration projects.

Now what do you have?:cheers:

My list of small jobs/projects around the house is endless !

My major projects are to fit out and organise the shed. When we bought this place it had a 3 bay shed, not nearly big enough. Earlier this year we had it extended and added 2 more bays. My plan is to wall off the first 4 metres of the new section (LHS), put a wall down the middle of the 4m bit and have the front bit as a store room, and the back as an office and brewery. That will leave me with a 5 X 6 metre workshop in the middle, and 2 parking bays on the RH end.

My other major project is to get Nugget (my Terrano) running and on the road. It has a dead engine at the moment.

Tony I think you should put an awning out the front over a concrete pad so you can work out there too.

Landscaping the almost iimpossible clay front yard. excavated the front yard flat and put in retaining wall and gazebo. Bring in soil soon for nice lawn and pergola at the left of screen to come.
Originally the hill came right up to the front of screen which flooded the area, now It's opened up and looks 10 times better.

My new work bench. I love it, 6m wide x 1.2 deep. Love having a big work bench. Used 2 frames from a picnic table series we used to sell at work. Perfect height to work on too.

Well did some work on the valiants diffs today. Got a mate showing how to modify Centura diff to fit VE. Anyhows' in process of making Jig to keep diff straight when being welded. Took brake drums off and the diff that came out of VE, has two trning axles but pinion only tdoes 1/4 turn and stops. Thank God I'm replacing it. Welding stage are next time I get there, can't rush these things.
