Our Cars (dream or actual)

@goosehd Thanks, man. Just looking at the pictures, I cannot quite believe how much time I put into that... But then again, how many lawyers are out there that can set up a rear differential? It's the skills I learn along the way that keep me going.

@tody I’m in love with your two green babies…such beauties. Great collection!

Best. Post. Ever.

Thanks, guys. Here's two more for your entertainment - work in progress, so to speak.

The Comet in January 2010, half a year after I bought it. Got finished in 2012.
The van in March 2016, roughly five years after I got it. Slow progress, the kids got in the way... Was finally done in 2018.

In love with the Mercury!

some great quivers throughout this thread. here are my two projects: 96 FZJ Land Cruiser (triple locked - IYKYK). just starting to get working on this one and learning the wonders of a straight axle & mountain goat qualities of this beast

my 1986 VW Vanagon Syncro (2 knobs) (which I just sold to a friend w/first buyers rights when/if he should decide to sell it). This was my first foray into engines and transmissions. my background is chemistry so i really geeked out on learning the engineering/physics and chemistry of engines through this car. it was a great van for camping, ski trips and just rolling slow with a smile on your face.

Brilliant photos @Inorganic. I hadn't seen a Vanagon in years, and when we spent a week in Austin, TX late last month i saw like 6 of them. Find the hipsters, find the vanagons

So nice @Inorganic, drove one (not a syncro though) in the late 80s, and loved it. My parent had a T2 in the 70s in which we toured Southern Europe when I was a kid, and now I have a T5 California (IMO technically the best VW bus), but I love them all.

[Inorganic]

@jordanscollected oh these are definitely loved by hipsters, I'm guessing because they are so 'instagramable', which has driven the prices of these thru the roof.

@endo I've not seen a T5 in the US (I think they are euro spec only? perhaps because of emissions, plenty of T4's around). I watched a review of the California - looks pretty rad and, as expected, well thought out from a space usage/amenity perspective.

[endo]

sorry, typo, I meant I have a T4, think it was a good decision to put the engine in the front

[Dmart]

I wish I would still have my T3 that got me across whole Europe 20or so years ago.

@Inorganic I do love a 90s Land Cruiser!

@Heavy_blue While the 67/68 Fastback is indeed a cool car, the 69 has grown on me over the years. If I had the chance, I'd take the 69 Sportsroof over the 68 Fastback. In the meantime, my 65 convertible will do
