Doune, same corner Donald did in April I believe. 80mph backwards into a rotten round bale and a barrier. You can imagine the damage it did!

Update, had her started yesterday and all appears okay 
She's going to the dyno within a month for bedding in and a wee map tweek as i've altered the charger drive ratio slightly. This will probably mean slight changes to the bypass control and fuelling as the injectors have also been rebalanced
Hopefully it won't be too much work and i'll have a dyno plot from the new engine soon :smthumbup

No updates, Tiddles is in the garage ready to dyno. Am on the final stretch of the workshop extension so I'll get the dyno work done in the new year. My priorities have changed through the year and I've not had time to get back to Tiddles.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all :smthumbup

Happy New Year all :smthumbup
Update: that's my workshop extension 99% finished, just waiting for better weather to finish some outdoor bits and it's done. A delay of 4 years due to the neighbouring farmer not honouring his part of a deal then 8 months to build 85Sq/m with a dedicated fabrication room and a larger area I can use for storage, painting or fitting. This has meant the sign workshop now has a much larger workspace and my garage is back to being big enough to work in!
I got my late brothers Camaros moved and am now evaluating the work they both need (looking like both need ground-up rebuilds :blah.
Back to Tiddles. The season starts in April :coolsm:
I'll post up some photos for those interested

Some extension photos. The only part I didn't do myself was building the block walls as it was much quicker to pay a bloke to do that for me :lol:
This has allowed the sign workshop to be opened up into one large room (office upstairs in the roof space). In the photo you can see where the wall for the old spray booth was looking at the roof. I intend to replace all the ceiling lights so have left the ceiling plaster as it is to help with running in new wires. This allows us to get 2 decent sized vans in at once whereas before we struggled to get 1 large van in :blah:
The initial workshop was built as my garage but not long after I decided to move the sign business from town to here which cut the space I was hoping for substantially. The extension gives me back all this space for my own projects :coolsm:

Some Camaro photo: 1967 RS, Chevy Small Block Supercharged. More of a show car than a practical runaround :lol:
My brother bought this when I was 11. It was restored 26 years ago but has had to lie in some damp places over the last 10 years so it's showing signs of neglect unfortunately. It doesn't run as there's wiring issues and the rear suspension needs some parts fabricated to make it safe. It really needs a bare shell rebuild with every external panel replaced, but that can wait a few years. The RS models had the headlight covers that swing round behind the grille when the lights are on.
This will remain in the family and when I'm gone it will go back home to Texas to my Nephews

This is the 68 RS Camaro spaceframe he used for the drag strip. The engine had water lying in the bores for a winter and the block being bored out to 468Ci is on its last rebore so it needs a new engine block
The engine is out and I'm still collecting parts from his garage for it. It has a fibreglass removable front, fibreglass doors and steel roof/quarter panels. From memory it was around 1000kg
It ran mid 9s without the nitrous. I don't think he ever turned the nitrous on TBH. The plan is to get this back running, take it to the strip once then sell it on

I'm pricing up parts and body panels for a full restore. So far there's £15k in parts alone
My brother in law is flying over from Texas today carrying some parts I need to get her fired up. He lives 20 mins from a summit racing store, went in with a list of obscure parts and everything was on the shelf
That's an evo 6 shell I was keeping as a spare but have decided if I wreck Tiddles to the extent of a reshell I'll probably start building spaceframe Tiddles. I'd use the shell for moulds to build a carbon silhouette then sell the shell on. It's a mint shell which is rare now.

I've made a new front bumper rather than repair the broken one just now. I'll keep the broken one as an emergency spare as the carbon fibre bumper takes 20+ hours to make.
The mould was never made for oven use so I'm thinking of taking a GRP cast, repairing the flaws and making a new mould suitable for the oven. That way I can make GRP versions cheap to sell from the old mould
Straight out of the mould, a dry polish and untrimmed - 1692 grammes :coolsm:
The front floor went back into the mould okay and has a new corner grafted on
