Why not make my 1850 not rubbish? Lots of stuff to do for that... ;)

Seriously though, it could do with a lot of non-mechanical things doing to it which won't take long (cutting back the paint, refitting bits of trim etc) but would make it look a lot better than when it came in.

Dave the show only lasts a day!

I'm sure there are plenty of projects, are sparks, welding and general noise still frowned upon?

Cutting out a roof with a speedsaw gets a few comments from nearby stall holders :lol:

Sounds like a good one Alun, I guess it would be either the welding or all of the other stuff though?

-cough- my car -cough-

:D

I guess we need to do something more dramatic than putting filler into all of the holes on my 1850. Plenty to get on with on the one Alun suggested, I assume it'll need trailering there? :D

I guess an idea of numbers would be handy, it gets a bit silly if we've got 10 people on one car...

Aye, I can get there. Maybe someone can teach me how to weld! :suntan:

Are we doing cars on a club stand?

Incidentally, I do have a project car which I will happily volunteer to be "improved"!

We have applied for a club stand, we are waiting to hear how much space we'll be allocated. A couple of potential project cars have been identified but we need to check on the feasibility of them before we make a final decision on which cars to work on. Volunteers are sought and exhibitor's passes will be made available to Club members who help out.

Let me know what I can help with. Not welding, obviously :lol:

But happy to man a stand or whatever.
