Ok, so what long term projects have people got? Motors that got bought and forgotten about.
Currently I've got a 52 reg transit awaiting a fuel pump, sat on the drive for nearly 3 years, the old vw camper which got its new engine then I got scared by the amount of welding it needed, a mk1 scirocco that I have most of the panels for, bit got scared by the amount of welding it needed and a beetle that I've owned for 20 years which had all the welding done but I then ran out of money
Open to sensible offers on the transit - its blue, 65k miles and ex pharmacy so had a reasonably easy life.

I've got my little 1990 eunos import which is a work in progress... It's mint underneath but the ugliest hand painted thing that you'll ever see up close. Trouble is, I can't bring myself to take it off the road long enough to paint it as its just so much fun to blast around in. Ps it was like that when I got it, honest ;D

I've got 1988 mk2 Golf gti in the garage. Nice car. What's wrong with it?? Not alot really a few bits and bats, Couple rust spots. It had an overheating issue when I got it, A new rad cured it. Been stood in a garage for while before I got april this year. My dad drove it home yesterday as I'd been storing it at his works and they need the space. My plan next year is to strip it, Clean, Paint and replace if needed. Thats when I got it with wash and polish. It now has an inch of dust onit.

Lovely colour to and it looks good without the big bumpers
