Not a bad way to fade away, make it look a bit outlaw to prove there is life left! Nice pair of cars.

Cool truck, but yes that's going to take some space!

Nice set of cars (and work space for that matter). Looks like you're a fair way on with the T6.
Looking forward to seeing the progress on it.

Ant, I didn't sleep well last night thinking about an Outlaw. I'd like to keep the original engine block but how much power could I realistically push it to ? Better suspension and brakes....how difficult....who to do.
So many questions.......so little time !

Unfortunately I'm neither a 356 nor an engine modification expert. I do know that an Outlaw 356 edge is just so cool. I look forward to watching you weave in some unique touches as you finish the restoration. Good luck!

love the truck. But they are huge aren't they. When I brought my car over from the states I had a truck load of parts so I bought a truck to bring them over in.
here's me facing the wrong way on the motorway after a blow out on the trailer on the way back from Chatham........
before the incident.

Blimey.....that looks a bit hairy!
You were pretty brave driving an old truck back from the port given the Americans lack of MOT failures....
