Location: Jelling, Denmark		I have lots of winter projects. Have bought a second rover 400 in very good condition, I mean to fix up, give a MOT and sell again, have my own 400 that also needs an MOT in about a week, a an exhaust leak or some other strangeness with the 998 I need to look at. besides I still have an ongoing MG Metro project, and an engine and box renovation for my racer. so lots of projects yes

I just bought a polo for a learner driver.
Bought it cheap as seen from a dealer needing work.
Should have a sorted car for decent money in the end.

Location: Guildford		Still building my RB25DET 200SX - not much left mechanically just cant paint until its warmer
Also got another 200sx S13 to build into a nice daily, got the coilovers for it today, fit up the interior and some other crap, no mad rush for it.
Got a VW MK2 Jetta to get on the road ASAP (fit new lower arms, droplinks, brakes all round, cambelt waterpump, roll rear archs and give it a service)

Thinking of stripping my Lambretta's motor down and giving it a 185 barrel and piston with a decent modern carb and exhaust which might get it up to a heady 12bhp or so...

The '06 Triumph Daytona 675 has to have it's valves checked and shimmed up if they do need adjusting before selling in the Spring as it has been replaced with a second generation model. that's about it

Also the matter of rolling the VVC 'Tro out of the garage after owning the shell for 5 years now (original rusted and got twisted after years of abuse) All it needs for an MOT is the drivers top ball joint replacing, just not had time to do it

Location: sittingbourne, kent		I bought this little gem over Christmas, I wanted a clean slate to build my 1.8 turbo metro into.
Don't worry I've not scrapped my old shell, I donated it to another member
