LOL, it's just a slow restoration... I've a few things ahead of it in the queue so the XR2 doesn't get many cycles. These are just the spare "roll it around" wheels, including an old slick from <mumble> years ago that's now got a horrible flat spot Are you the bloke with the rotting Mustang round the corner too?
Before anyone complains too loudly, that's where the engine and gearbox for the Taimar are coming from, and the body is beyond saving in so many places there's barely any metal left to weigh in at the scrappie. It's had a brutal life so I feel it kindest to let it rust in peace.

That is one of the oddest opinions I've ever read on Pistonheads. Or do I get a whoosh-parrot?digger the goat said:
I just fancy sticking a straight 6 in one, changing to rwd and putting massive arches on it.
Make it look like a silhouette/ period race car.
Oddly, I am looking at buying a Scimitar at the moment !!
I've spotted, in Hayes Middlesex, a Camaro rotting away in a front garden. It's part covered by a plastic sheet, but what I can see from the part of the car that is exposed is that the rear wing has virtually completely rotted away...it's obviously been there for years and years. Shame. When I next go that way I'll endeavour to take a picture.

I know that car, and yes your right, nothing much left of the bits i've seen. Its been in that garden for as long as i can remember. Back to yer common, or as in this example, garden classics. A Spitfire at a house in Caldercruix, east of Glasgow. It looks well, but the wheels were chocked and it's across the garden so I don't think it's been out much lately.
Ooops - won't let me upload the image. Try again later.
