[philoldsmobile]

stolen from the other topic, because i couldn't be botherd to type it all out again



1st car, talbot solara.. stock

2nd car, renault 11 GT turbo aniversiry; hybrid turbo used but large ally intercooler, bleed valve, group a carb and el cheapo back box

3rd car 1978 capri 1600 auto; few bits shaved / smoothed, larger carb (from 2 liter) pipercoss air filter.. (ok, no biggie)

4th car 1968 cortina (formerly lotus) 1630 x-flow, 4 brance s/steel exhaust man, hypertutetic pistons, 3/4 race piper cam, bullet gearbox, lower 3", poly bushed, mounty steering wheel, AVO gas adjustables all round, (loved that car)

5th car volvo 340; daily hack stock as a rock

6th car: 1967 cortina mk2 1300 delux; not much except for a rather tasty rover V8 and 5 speed manual.. stock brakes too!

7th car, 1959 ford Zodiac lowline; pulled the stock s/six and three speed manual, bagan instalation of ford 302 and C6. sold due to loss of garage before completion..

8th car 1968 triumph 2000 mk1; nothing done, only had it a month

9th car 1964 Zephyr 6 mk3; nothing, was a pile of junk, and sold after a week, could put the exxon valdese to shame...

10th car, 1982 Oldsmobile Cutlass supreme; aquired as a bit of a mess, resprayed, rear light tints, changed cam, rockers, inlet carb dizzy, valve covers and lots of misc shit.. went better but still ran like crap due to mis matched carb and inlet..

11th car, 1984 Metro 1.0; aquired as a freeby when the oldsmobile was in for repaint, started out as 2 cars, one rotten one written off but with nearly a year MOT and tax.. parts from the rotten car were grafted (badly) onto the written off one to make one rather nasty runner... given to a friend after about a month for free because i hated it so much!

12th car, 1982 Vauxhall chevette; family hairloom, so not really modded, my life would have been ended if it was! gained a set of wider wheels and amounty steering wheel.. would have loved to put a vauxhall 16v 2lt in it!

13th car, 1986 Chevrolet Camaro; not that much, because the car was so straight and genuine, it would have been a shame to mess with, stripes, APC steering wheel edlebrock air filter, mr gasket breathers, flowmaster exhaust, 99 Z28 4th gen interior, tail light covers, and american racing outlaw 2 wheels

14th car; 1992 Ford Chavscort 1.4 LX; not much needs to be said here!

15th car; 1988 Chevrolet astro 4.3; worked fine as is, so no mods

16th car; 1996 ford mustang 3.8; hmmmmm.... boxes have started to arrive.. will remain normally aspirtated, but wil have some mild, mainly breathing and appearance mods.. target is c. 220 BHP

couple of modded, and a couple of standard bikes too...

so not generaly any big mods (cept the zodiac and cortina), but quite often a few little tweaks to suit..
