Curiosity regarding how many builds in progress or dormant

In progress

in progress :)
|
In progress :D
And living the dream :D |
Dormant... I guess I am one of the few forum active dormant builders..
Garage is in a mess, 2 sierras without engines in ( one engine prominient in garage ). Loom for roadster touched once in 12 months. Been sitting on dining room floor.... Need to finish inner wing welding on Sierra #2 so I can get that engine back inand make it mobile and increase space... Hope there are a few dry weekends over winter to try and get some time. TT |
WIP-work in progress.
|
Work in progress
|
in progress, started about a month ago and progressing well!
|
Now sorned ....about to start a re-hash .....better dashboard/instrumentation....another engine ....more noise efficient silencer... water meth tank....better rear lights....aerofoiling on front wishbone assemblies and better interior if I have time.(TIME what the F is that)
|
Work in progress - very slow progress
|
My build is now a million miles away from the Roadster concept due to the huge number of changes required to accommodate the V12 and 2 turbos. The chassis is basically built, it now uses a Jag front instead of the custom twin wishbone arrangement. It's much stronger and with much better geometry than what I had originally built. I lost my Mum a month ago and have had no enthusiasm since. I hope to kick myself up the arse and get back on to it soon. For now my project is dormant.

Still plodding on although redundancy and custody battles taking up most of my time at the moment

I chose build in progress but probably more truthfully would be that I'm in denial and its actually more like a dormant build as it seems I'm making very little progress.
The dream is still there but family life is not playing fairly, although as always hope to crack on soon :rolleyes: |
Completed build, still in progress. :o
Cheers Stot |
After longer break - build in progress, again ;)
|
Build in progress but picking up speed:D :D :D
|
Slow progress!!
|
Nose splitter Kev.....;)
|
Slow, slow progress
|
IVA'd been on the road for 12 months, now about to be SORN'd and ripped apart to replace the 1800 Pinto with a 2L Duratec.
|
On the road but not complete. A aero screen mod or maybe a windscreen to make it a little more drive able.
So time next year to enjoy it would be nice. |
still in slow motion !!http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
:D Waiting for my friendly welder to fully weld my chassis ( I tack welded it) It will then be a mission to find all my MX5 bits, stored in,around and under the house ! with luck the motor should still be in the carport ? Can,t wait to start making progress. Cheers, Ken (from NZ).:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Build in progress slowly getting there been at since Oct 2012
Mick:) |
In progress, but very slowly as house renovation is taking up most of the time. also waiting on parts suppliers to deliver. (exhaust bends mainly).

At the planning stage, chassis deposit paid to our friendly chassis builder par excellence, building up a parts list and on the hunt for a donor.
Hoping to start Q1 next year although baby dubzter no2 due at the end of March :D |
Abandoned my first build but planning my second next year
|
Hey, most completed builds are never really finished, but it would have been nice to have a category for "on the road".
|
Mine has been dormant for nearly a year now, I was hoping to get back on it this summer but I brought a boxster s and been just driving that when I was off work and now that is in my workshop up on ramps with the engine out. But it does mean that I have a large car space to work on it when the porker is back on the road.
|
Car completed, and registered today :)
But as everyone knows, a build is never over, so mine can be considered "still in progress" as well. I don't want to do a lot of stuffs on the car, I mostly want to enjoy it, and stop spending crazy money on it, as I have other plans for 2015, especially going back to travel the world and dive. But the car has been weighted 687 kg with a full fuel tank. it is a lot, that is the part I'm not happy with, and the work I'm going to do along the way is trying to reduce this weight. Brakes, battery, perhaps seats... we'll see :eek: |
Waiting for my IVA date, forms sent today. :) Money in bank waiting for the huge withdrawal! :(
|
Build ongoing, started August last year. Just finished changing the engine from a BMW 2.8 to a Jag 3.0 - I'm now back where I was in early September - brake lines!
|
95% of donor stripped and deposit down for chassis and wishbones.
At the beginning of a long road (especially between work, little ones and keeping the wife happy by not spending too much time in the garage), but loving it... so far at least! :D |
All done :p

I gave up on the turbo idea after deciding: a. I couldn't be ar5ed b. I didn't want to spend any more money on the car... and c. it's quick enough for me as it is |

I wanted more low down power in mine, it couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding below 4k so im hoping my small turbo will help that. Cheers Stot |
still in progress, but very, very slow cant seem to get time on it, should really get rid but I'm still hoping oneday?

It reminds me of an old 2 stroke Yamaha with a broken power valve I once had. As you opened the throttle you got nothing...nothing...nothing...nothing...WHEELIE!!! Great fun :D |
