Heh! Never heard about these! Nice one!

And I still drive the same tiny Chevy Spark:

My rust bucket, 1981 Honda Prelude.

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..

I was driving this for awhile:

But recently traded it for this:

An update on the vandura:


The van plan, man:

(Last picture is a digital edit, not real! First picture is real, though.)

[Toshiba-3]

Looks good!
How's the Arrow going?

[Alex_Dynamite]

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

[Alex_Dynamite]

I finally got the car out and drove it to a car show! I drove the car!
I DROVE THE CAR!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

It was in the garage for a while, repairing rust.


Even took it to school.


Here is that rust.

[Toshiba-3]

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.

[Alex_Dynamite]

I finally remembered to post an update of the car.

[Toshiba-3]

As sweet as ever!

[Alex_Dynamite]

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?)

[Toshiba-3]

Oh nice truck, must be anice side project, and yeah you posted the Van! before.

[Savage-Elve]

I'm working as a bicycle repairer in Amsterdam these days.

[Alex_Dynamite]

Truck!

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!

[Alan]

Hello all! I hope everyone old and new is well. I have a small fleet of Lloyds, a terrible over engineered French car and a 61 Bug that needs minor work.

Love the TRUCK Alex!

[Toshiba-3]

Damn great cars you guys, nice to see you still find your way to this place too

[Alex_Dynamite]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I painted the truck.

Very smooth paintjob

I'm still driving these:

[Alex_Dynamite]

Thanks!

Most recent addition, the winter wagon:

1986 Toyota Tercel 4wd Wagon with manual.

[Razor]

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

IMG_20201108_160717_1_1.jpg

I also still have this, which is always broken.

[MadPanduh]

Got this 1991 Toyota Landcruiser, Always loved this thing, been upgrading, repairing modding, as i go, still has a long ways to go! the project is never ending i swear haha

[Toshiba-3]

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.

[Razor]

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