I've just read this in 2 stints and what an absolute inspiration,great work here buddy 
I've got so many car plans in my head that I plan to start ticking off in the very near future and if I can do it whilst incorporating even 25% of what youre doing then I'll be a very happy man/lad/24yo

Ack! Can't believe I missed a 123 estate in white for a decent price! Tell me it was beyond economical repair or leaked or something... blast.
The 9000 looks good, a quick polish and that will look fantastic.
The 123 Estate was a good usable car, it passed its mot without any issues shortly before I sold it. The 9000 is already away.The 9000 looks good, a quick polish and that will look fantastic.
I don't keep cars for very long.

Correction....I didn't have that one!
So amazing thread
Like a lot your videos too: they are not those "poshy" ones that everybody is doing nowdays "I repaint my bumper" or "how I renovate my headlight so they look new!" or "got myself an amazing youngtimer: here is what you want to know!". Much more refreshing, without script, all different: keep on the fun - and sharing it!

Unless it's a Firenza that needed more than its own bodyweight in repairs! How's the progress on that one, I see it lurking in the back
It's a chevette, there's been a serious lack of progress made on it this year. I found a couple of crusty bits I'd missed around the boot floor so welded one side up and still need to do the other.I need to replace the water pump, choke cable and rear springs and it should be about ready for its retest. It is now old enough to qualify for tax and mot exemption going by the build date of the car but I'd rather take it in for a test where it failed last time before registering as historic.
