Went through a lot of changes since that pic, some bodywork done, new paint, seats and other misc stuff. Will post a better pic once I'm done with the paint and stuff.

You call THAT a rust bucket?! You should see the Arrow!
Then there is this...
Luckily, I have this:
(Ignore the missing hub cap, I have a full set now, though it is sporting the winter rims currently.)

A fine crop of vessels, men! I win the rust thing, as the Lloyd has NO floors. None.
See that? That's the brake master cylinder! It's covered by the driver's floor normally..

Thanks!
Could be
much better, but I still get at it every now and then. There is a lot to do on it, but there are also other things I need to do. Can't keep at it like I want to. I can actualy do the Vandura, since it has less work needed to do what I want to do to it.
Alan: How do you win with rust?!?
Hard to believe some trust it...

Nice update!
I realise I never posted my current beat-up car here. A 2004 Nissan Almera. Scratched all over, bumpers and fenders are riveted etc. Good for the mountains thus

Damn, nice progress Alex
She's looking like a fighter who took a beating but still gets up
Some months ago I bought another beatup car to go further in the moutain roads, a 2002 Citroen Saxo.
I'll get a Renault Clio from the same era next month.

I recently added a
TRUCK! to my fleet.
It is a 1950 GMC 9783 3 ton truck with a tilting box.
Towed it home with my 1989 GMC
VANDURA 1500. (Have I ever shown it here before?)

TRUCK!
Now that is out of the way, the story:
The first truck in the previous post had a good engine, but many other problems, with the worst being a broken brake drum that I couldn't find a replacement for. Then I got this truck in great condition but a seized engine. So, I did an engine swap and parted the other one out.
Now I have my old truck!

Bought my 1.7 non-turbo diesel SEAT Arosa last year, does 70mpg and never breaks, even when I crash it.

Oh hey, welcome back
Great project there
And I'm STILL driving the Clio and Saxo I posted up there 3 years ago. The Clio just went past the 350,000 km mark. The Saxo is in a bit worse shape but just refuses to die.

I now have this thing. It's very useful but also very slow, I also snapped a glow plug in the head...
