Default Few pics of my old toys/ projects (lots of pics)

Hi guys, just been browseing some of my old pics of my old cars and thought id share a few with anyone that would like to see, were all great cars, miss them all to be honest, think my tpre r i have now tho is still my fave.

My young days kitted out 205 1.9 gti, as you can see i spent sill amounts on this car, it hardly ever saw the road, great car tho.





My baby, honda civic vti coupe






My r32 gtst skyline.




Another little 205 1.9 gti.




My uk impreza turbo.


Little 205 1.6 cti ( great car )


My other civic, This one i loved, broke my heart selling it, had it so long and did so much work and never let me down. Was pushing a healthy 186bhp aswell which out of a 1.6 was good.





Had this old 115bhp 1.5 in when i got it

Soon had it out for more power



Then i went for something a bit newer with some comforts, again was a very nice car and went well.






Had many more but thats just a few of the pics i like, wasted some money in my day but loved every min and done all the work to all of them myself so lernt lots.

Good news as you grow older your taste improves and your bodywork mods will be less contrived

The dark 205 gti is the best - not sure why it's got a vauxhall nova grill on it though ?

Yeh i was well into my exterior mods in those days, Then realised it was a total waste and spent more time fixing it when you hit an animal and it shatters the front bumper
The grey 205 was a good car, went well, had a bit of money spent on the engine. Isnt a nova grill tho it was just a fiberglass mesh one that was doing the rounds at the time.

I did enjoy my old 205 as well as Golf GTI way back - now got another Golf to tinker with:
