Toyota BJ 40 Resto job

Americana They took the ol'Jeep and made a duplicate. -
Adam Here's a question: Imagine yourselves deep in Amazonian jungle or African savanna with closest people hundreds of miles away. Would you rather be in a British made Land Rover with Lucas electrics or Toyota BJ40 with an indestructible Diesel engine? Just

Type 49 Wow what a monster. BTW to me those flares look a lot like Escort Mk1 factory bubble flares. -

Adam It looks good though!
-
MilkMan Those flares though! -
MilkMan are they really Escort?

Jaguar E-type S1 FHC Nose Job
A significant part of the car's exterior consists of the bonnet. It's hardly a surprise that it's also a mammoth task to restore one.
-Unless you have money burning holes in your pocket as new items are available for the cheque-book-restorer. My equity comes in the form of sweat though

Cobra before Cobra
I'd say some people live a more vivid life than the rest of us. Take John Fitch who shot down a Messerschmitt 262 with his P-51 Mustang while fighting WW2 in Europe, invented the Fitch Barrier system the sand-filled barrels to absorb the kinetic energy of run-away vehicles.
