🙏 😢 I won’t be using ********’s But I used yoga mats when I built the Rezin Rockit It helps a lot.

@Squankum and @Bob Heine the rear window comments made me smile. My dad made the mistake of allowing 9 year old me and my 8 year old brother to “choose” his new family car in 1972 He loved two door cars, coupè shapes. Sporty styles. We hated the two door V4 Ford Corsair he loved, that my...

Removing Rust, Rebuilding Sills. Skoda Cube is progressing. Repairing “Bodyshop” Bodges. Identified a load of rust, and untouched damage. Cutting, Fabrication, Welding, Grinding and finding more work to do has seen progress on the underside of the little pickup. I also had to repair...

Progress is slow on the Cube. The more I grind and swear the more I realise it should have been CUBED Amazing how knotwheel of truth can remind you hours later that it is in charge. 9.30 pm after a shower and food last night, watching a new episode of Ambition Strikes on YouTube and chatting...

Absolutely

Tunnels and underpasses are great for antisocial acoustics.

Well….. Fat guys shouldn’t work like demons in a neighbours garden. But two days and we’re done. Knackered. I don’t think they really understand my mentality. Where they came from nobody helped each other. I was aware that with a two year old demon daughter, and two boys around 8...

Alloy wheels have a lot of work to do to get them back to pretty. I have ordered 100 new replacement rivets. Definitely looking forward to the day I can fit them back on. May just work on a wheel(s) tomorrow, rather than rust. Tonight….. Relax. .

Skoda Cube Van….?? Restoration? Yup, I have started on removing the rust and replacing it with fresh good steel. Progress.

I have no clue what you’re on about. Seriously.

Right. I don’t know these cars at all.

Condition on Collection

A ton of work and money to be spent still. Centre caps, rivets and two tyres needed. Then full restoration including removing the clear lacquer, prepping, painting and a few coats of clear lacquer. Then of course the van will need significant lowering all round Hopefully it all comes...

Ooooops. I did it again. I may have bought some BBS replica wheels for the Cube. They do need a bit of work before I can fit them.
