My Ford Mundane-o, whilst dreaming of getting a 90 to restore
Mundane maybe but a proper mile eater for sure . I loved mine for long journeys

any current pics FTD ?
Here's the front of our campervan in bits....
And slowly going back together....
(It was at this point I decided to have intimate relations with the angle grinder. That put paid to further progress for a day)
That new front crossmember looks cool. It weighs about 20lb. This is what it replaced.
Not much left. Really didn't think it was 'that' bad. Knew it was scabby, but... Bumper going back on today. The rest of the chassis is sound!
Next job is to repair the wheel arches and inner wings at the front. Got some new wings to go on, but for now...had enough.
This is how it looks normally. It's a T4 based Auto sleeper Clubman.
At 27 years old, it's the youngest vehicle we own!

It looks a lot better now!
Wow that cross member certainly was tired . Looks much better with the new one on
I’ll post some when it’s all back together

some of us dont mind pics of rusty metal 
I’ll post some when it’s all back together
To be fair, it wouldn't be difficult!
I also filled the inside of it with cavity wax. Hopefully good for another 20 years now.
My favourite non landy is my old Mitsubishi Evo7 but i dont have pictures of that i can get to easily so here is a more recent replacement
450 or so bhp rear wheel drive….medium mad…..Evo was more committed bonkers but this is equally quick if a bit more comfortable and controlled

You know... I get more positive comments on that quicko-built cedar rack than anything else I've ever built! There's really nothing more to it but a hundred bucks of lumber yard stock and some galvanized hardware but it's solid as a rock and totally does the job. If there's one thing I've learned it's "Build it solid" and get on with it!Really like the canoe rack @SeriesG
Last weekend I had the pleasure and privilege of staying in a fantastic 60's style ski lodge it's within the grounds of where my mate works. I opted to take Freddie the Focus mostly because of the remote location the van would be a nightmare in the tight and narrow lanes. The Volvo S40 is playing stilly games with limp mode and almost no ground clearance and not sure how I'd cope with the stiff suspension for such a long drive. So I took my Ford Focus the best worst car I've ever had. Few years ago the alarm kept going off, the engine would cut out for no reason - absolute bonkers gremlins with everything electrical. turned out to be water ingress into the BCU. Two weeks parked up in a dry garage with the battery disconnected and it's been fine since. Until the kids grew and it's too small for the three of them in the back. As for the boot space absolute nightmare too small to be useful as a family car. Has a gearbox knock but can't get a garage to commit to changing the gearbox and engine mounts until they fail - unless I spend an absolute fortune on it.
However I Love it to bits! 65mpg enough poke to be fun on the twisty bits enough of a cruiser to make the hour after hour motorway not too bad. Sound system is great and most important I can drive it for hours at a time without getting sore / achy. In my mind it looks bloody gorgeous too!
