Pogo Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It's a great feeling isn't it? Good luck. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR5tar Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hi Dex, Your story just shows how easily time slips away. We put something away meaning to fix it and before we know it a quarter of a century has passed by. It's scary! What were the issues with the car when you took it off the road all those years ago? It would be interesting to know what extra ones have developed in that time, too. Good luck with getting her on the road again. Cheers, Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cj79 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Looks similar but a lot better than mine when it rolled out of the garage after 16 years (attached).. although before I put it in the garage it had spent 10 years on grass on a welsh hillside at my grandfathers farm... Next image is 3 years later.. took a hell of a lot of work but very rewarding! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
