Heh! Never heard about these! Nice one!

And I still drive the same tiny Chevy Spark:

My rust bucket, 1981 Honda Prelude.

Went through a lot of changes since that pic, some bodywork done, new paint, seats and other misc stuff. Will post a better pic once I'm done with the paint and stuff.

You call THAT a rust bucket?! You should see the Arrow!
Then there is this...

Luckily, I have this:

(Ignore the missing hub cap, I have a full set now, though it is sporting the winter rims currently.)

A fine crop of vessels, men! I win the rust thing, as the Lloyd has NO floors. None.

See that? That's the brake master cylinder! It's covered by the driver's floor normally..

I was driving this for awhile:

But recently traded it for this:

An update on the vandura:

The van plan, man:

(Last picture is a digital edit, not real! First picture is real, though.)

Looks good!
How's the Arrow going?

Alex_Dynamite · Post by **Alex_Dynamite** » Tue Jun 07, 2016 2:04 am

Thanks!

Could be much better, but I still get at it every now and then. There is a lot to do on it, but there are also other things I need to do. Can't keep at it like I want to. I can actualy do the Vandura, since it has less work needed to do what I want to do to it.

Alan: How do you win with rust?!?

Hard to believe some trust it...

Nice update!

I realise I never posted my current beat-up car here. A 2004 Nissan Almera. Scratched all over, bumpers and fenders are riveted etc. Good for the mountains thus

I finally got the car out and drove it to a car show! I drove the car!
I DROVE THE CAR!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

It was in the garage for a while, repairing rust.

Even took it to school.

Here is that rust.

Damn, nice progress Alex

She's looking like a fighter who took a beating but still gets up

Some months ago I bought another beatup car to go further in the moutain roads, a 2002 Citroen Saxo.

I'll get a Renault Clio from the same era next month.

I finally remembered to post an update of the car.

As sweet as ever!

I recently added a TRUCK! to my fleet.

It is a 1950 GMC 9783 3 ton truck with a tilting box.
Towed it home with my 1989 GMC VANDURA 1500. (Have I ever shown it here before?)

Oh nice truck, must be anice side project, and yeah you posted the Van! before.

I'm working as a bicycle repairer in Amsterdam these days.

Truck!

Ttttttrrrrrruuuuuuckckckck.

TRUCK!

Now that is out of the way, the story:
The first truck in the previous post had a good engine, but many other problems, with the worst being a broken brake drum that I couldn't find a replacement for. Then I got this truck in great condition but a seized engine. So, I did an engine swap and parted the other one out.
Now I have my old truck!

Hello all! I hope everyone old and new is well. I have a small fleet of Lloyds, a terrible over engineered French car and a 61 Bug that needs minor work.

Love the TRUCK Alex!

Damn great cars you guys, nice to see you still find your way to this place too

Alex_Dynamite · Post by **Alex_Dynamite** » Mon Sep 28, 2020 12:59 am

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I painted the truck.

Bought my 1.7 non-turbo diesel SEAT Arosa last year, does 70mpg and never breaks, even when I crash it.

IMG_20201108_160717_1_1.jpg

I also still have this, which is always broken.
