allye 530 3 Cars Posted October 13, 2013 I don't know about you guys but I thoroughly enjoy wasting hours reading through fantasic project threads. Passion ford and retrorides are my normal perving areas. So I though I'd make a thread where you can post links to amazing projects and builds for me to waste my time dribbling through! I'll kick it off with this old ford camper rebuild, with a Lexus V8 going in, one of the best I've seen in a while. http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/89224/thames-campervan-resto-sleeper-project?page=1 Others than stand out are a Mallard Green Escort Cosworth on PassionFord that the guy has thrown a huge amount of money at (can't find the link right now) and a F40 Le Mans, with even more money thrown at. http://www.build-threads.com/build-threads/ferrari-f40-lm-restoration/ Look forward to some quality builds! (PS How anoying is it looking through many pages of a build to get to the end and its not finished! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars Posted October 13, 2013 http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/42909 This one makes me chuckle, not so much master engineering, but a cool little project. I also have a bit of a soft spot for rascals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
