MFX Posted 26August, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 Jeff, you need to get a job! Another project before the P-car is finished? Couldn't help yourself? Great choice!Haha, well even worse, it looks like I am about to go and pick up a 3rd project in weeks time. I started trying to buy it a month ago (before the 240Z) and now it has come through, and it is too good a price to let it slip by.....aaarrrggghh! Good thing I have a very understanding wife To me this fills out my early 70's "Holy Trinity" of sports cars. Any guesses to what it is? I know people hate my stupid guessing games, but still. P.S. I have a pet hate of rotaries so that is out (sorry to the rotor lovers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonk Posted 26August, 2016 Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 I'll throw in my two picks other than the 911. Mercedes W107, Jaguar XJS. Triumph TR6 looks like a cool car so I'll throw that in as a guess also MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 26August, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 The E type would be great, but they are far too much of a budget stretch these days. I do love the Mk 1 Escorts, but not quite there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 26August, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 Not enough neg on the front but otherwise HAWT. Was nearly my first car but went RX-4 instead.I never been a huge fan of the power delivery of rotors. They can make huge power, but you generally have to ring the tits off of it to get there. But more importantly, my opinion of rotors will always be tainted by the multitude of customers, who's RX3's, 4's etc, I airbrushed over the years, so that is now how I see them. Haha. I always thought I would love a series 6 RX7 with an SR20 in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT Posted 26August, 2016 Report Share Posted 26August, 2016 YES!In a previous life, I had a '69 Series 1 1750 GTV. In fact I may still have it - it's been at a panel shop for, umm, 15 years!Oh, and there's the spare 2000gtv for parts that might still be there too!Maybe I should go and pick them up one day - or check to see if they still exist.I have a few bits dotted around the place too. poli84 and MFX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLR8 Posted 27August, 2016 Report Share Posted 27August, 2016 My holy trinity is all 80s: 944 Turbo (Guards Red), Mk1 Golf GTi, R32 GTR.To date I have managed 1.85 of the list. I had an '81 GTi for quite a while, a while ago, and now a 924. It's only 85% of the car a good 944 is, but it's the right 85%!Amazing how the prices of all these things have skyrocketed in the past 5 years.@MFX How far away are you (do you think) from having the Orange one going? Is it just the engine that is delaying progress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do the interior as I go, but I can use the old bits to get it on the road first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
