Plans for 2010?

Postby hb69 on Sat Jan 02, 2010 12:54 am

Car or otherwise, what are you planning to achieve this year?

My main objective is to get a place closer to work. Im pretty sure i said the same thing last year, but its a bit more of a realistic prospect now :lol:

Car plans are to :-

1) Complete FRST resoration for March/April so I can have some summer fun in it and use it a bit .

2) Fit 2 litre zetec turbo to my RS1800 by August so I can use this in the winter months saving the FRST from salt , and before I hear people say its not good doing that to an RS1800 I will be keeping EVERYTHING I need to put it back to RS1800 spec :)

3) Get my lathe and mill sorted for more fabrication work for next project ( Cosworth engined MK3 Fiesta 4X4 )

Think thats enough for one year

:D

Unfortunately I doubt I will get to use the FRST for another year, infact it will probably not even get the covers lifted as often anymore.
I hope to finish the Mini project and keep the E39 & E36 running happy.

Finish the Focus, get if featured, sell it, replace it with something else wearing the Blue Oval.

Sort out my sabbatical, avoid relegation, buy some more property, try some new things and make the most of any opportunities that arise.
