Post pictures of your pride and joy

Post pictures and stories about your cars both present and past. Also post up "blogs" on your restoration projects - the more pictures the better! Note: blog-type threads often get few replies, but are often read by many members, and provide interest and motivation to other enthusiasts so don't be disappointed if you don't get many replies.

I love that! It appears that some ne’er-do-well has removed the Ford O/E bent coat hanger aerial and shoved an arrow straight telescopic device in its place, which looks great but would cost a few points in the concours.

That's yellow paint for you, most transparent stuff there is apart from water. A slight difference in the primer and two panels of yellow from the same gun can look as different as oranges and bananas. It looks fine from where I'm sitting.

I don't like Fords :twisted: ,I bought it on a whim, as i learned to drive in one, and it had had only one owner for most of it's life . And a £9500 service history. It's had 37 condensers ,and 148 spark plugs in its life ...and I'm hoping one day i'll open the shed and it's turned into an HB Viva :oops: . A pale green one.. :mrgreen:
