We've all got Toranas right?.... [well the majority of us have, & we don't discriminate against groupies]..... & a lot of us have more than one project car.
What else have you got lurking in the dark corner of the garage?... where the really big spiders live?
What have you stashed away for a rainy retirement day?
What is sitting in the corner under the tarp, that you are going to get around to one day?
It doesn't matter if you already have a build thread going..... post them up!

I have a VK recently finished for a daily driver with a 5 speed VN V6
http://s190.photobuc...v8comp/VK%20V6/
And this was supposed to be just a hack - the running gear is reasonably solid and it has no rust (left after it all fell out and was replaced with expanding foam!)
But I came across this cheap which has 99% of its original steel - it has a few big dents in the side but original and intact floor pans, plenum, rear window sill etc!
So I'm hoping it'll fit in here out of the weather soon and I can peg away at it as time permits
There's a Honda Civic in there for an engine swap at present but we won't dwell on that...

Ok not all of them are IN my shed(s), only the Statesman, Monaro and Q'ie are that lucky. The sillycar and soobie have to live out in the weather, the sillycar lives under lots of black plastic and tarps.

I have a few bikes at the moment in my shed and I will have to start building my new bigger shed as this one is only a rented on.
Most of these are my bikes along with parts I have about 12 bikes in total (not all together).
I'll be looking at another bike tomorrow and if the price is right then it will be coming home with me.
I'm slowly putting the bikes back together after restoring them and then they go for sale.
The black one is supposed to look like dastly dan from the wacky races.
Here's what I came up with for Peter Perfect car also from wacky races.
Can you guess what car this is suppose to be? Penelope Pitstop.
These are the weird custom kids cars that adults can drive. This live in the elements and are now needing a full resto.
They run 3 12 volt batteries, hall effect throttle pedal, drum brake, ignition switch, forward reverse switch and I did have some flashing leds working at one stage.
I stopped charging the batteries due to the fact my place starting becoming the local hang out for all the local kids. With the speed these things get to I didn't want anyone getting hurt so now all the cars need new batteries and motors (they don't like the rain).
They can reach speeds over 30 klm with an adult.
I also have a motorized scooter that I built using a 37cc brush cutter engine and a 2 speed transmission from a Hinda self propelled lawnmower.
Let's see if someone has something weird than these in the back yard/shed.

Maybe not quite what some were expecting but this is the latest addition to my shed.
On Friday night Danny purchased and delivered this....A tool chest, neat eh, as a get well gesture.
I suspect he and a few others have it in mind that I am about to 'throw the towel in'!
Sure my recovery is being hindered with non shoulder complications and setbacks but in time I am sure all will be ok.
For those who are not aware Danny was/is sponsoring my car the Tangerine Dream but a true deep friendship has developed. How lucky am I...
Jeremy introduced Danny to me and since then I have never looked back.
You will get a chance to meet Danny at T/fest as he is entering my car in my absence.
Cheers

Hey WOT, did you do the chop yourself? Looks great. I don't usually like chopped 4 door cars but that looks excellent.

Thanks,Dirtbag.
No,I didnt chop it,I assisted a custom master,Paul Kelly. http://smoothcustoms.com.au/
I did the doorframes.
The roof took a weekend,(real big days.)the doorframes took a fortnight.(still real big days.)
I have it all here on video cassette somewhere.
I would have a go on my own now,though.That was a loong time ago.
