Mirror mirror on the floor...

I was working in an empty garage/workshop/petrol station yesterday that’s due to be demolished. Sadly no old cars awaiting to be rescued, however I did find this mirror. It’s got a Chrysler symbol on it. What do we reckon? 1960’s? 1970’s? The garage owner was a Cadillac fan, so I’m guessing it’s from a US car. @JustHatched. @zztop911

SO what's your auto winter project? I have a few I am wanting to get taken care of Currently have our HHR apart-ish, since the shop is closed we no longer need a panel (2 seat) HHR, so I did install a back seat in it, right now I am working out the dents from hitting a dear a few years ago and it getting hit by a garage truck. Nothing major but those dents and a few other dings are in process of being pulled out and filled, only those areas are being painted. Plus new brakes, shocks, timing chain and windshield and it should be good for several years. Hoping to have this done mid Decembr. After that gotta get back on Project Dakota, it's just got a l…

1972 VW Microbus Deluxe 1 2

Seeing as I've mentioned it a couple of times I thought I'd make a thread about it. I'm a regular on a UK based VW owners forum and I was tempted to just put a link up to my thread on there, but you guys deserve better . It's a 1972 Microbus deluxe in pastel white over elm green. It was built in Germany and shipped to USA where it spent it's life in sunny California. It was imported by the previous owner in November 2008. Completely rust free with a repair to the front panel and some dodgy repaint. One of the first things he did was get it rust proofed with underseal to the chassis and waxoil all the bodywork cavities. He also took out the 2 rear bench seats and s…

Bought this a couple weeks ago. Its a 1991 S10. The guy whom built it passed over a year ago, his daughter has since had it and it pretty much has sat since then. We've been negotiating on this thing for awhile. I know it has a 383 V8, Comp roller cam, Edelbrock Airgap intake, 2 Edelbrock Performer Carbs, 700R4 trans with trans brake, and Ford 9 inch rear. It's a work in progress.

Greg the Corsa - Progress Thread

Hello - for those of you that don't know me, my name is Aslad, I'm 19 and from the UK 🙂 I recently compiled all my many, many photos of Greg the Corsa (my car) and thought I'd introduce our American friends to the life of young drivers in the UK, where astronomical car insurance makes driving anything with an engine above 1.4l very expensive. Hell, my 1.2 litre, 85 horsepower hatchback still cost £1200 to insure in the first year of driving with a black box - to put that into perspective, the car is probably worth about £2500.. £3000 at a stretch. Anyways, since I have all these photos now I thought I'd share my 'progress' on it since I first bought it back in June 2…

@WasHatched recently bought a 1991 Dodge Dakota. It is pretty much rust free other than some surface rust on the hood and only 1 baseball size dent in the right fender. This will be what he will be driving when he turns 16 next year. It has a 318ci V8, auto trans. The paint is peeling on it pretty bad though (pics to come). This thread will be to post pics of the progress of a total restoration of this truck. All is being done with money he has earned himself.

FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) 2019 season

There's been basically no talk about WRC within XDBX, but are there any other rally fans here who follow the action every year or at least this year? If no, then you probably should (especially if you're following the boring and quite predictable F1 this year ). Here's why... After many years since the early '00s of not really actively following WRC, I caught up with it again in 2017, just after the over-dominant Volkswagen factory team had pulled out of the competition after absolutely dominating 4 years in a row in the motorsport and each year has been more and more exciting since, with 2019 being regarded as one of the most epic seasons of all time. …

Hi all, here in Canada they have introduced a new carbon tax and our fuel prices jumped considerably. Where I live it’s $1.20/litre, in Vancouver it’s $1.79/litre. I know here in Canada it’s metric and I believe in UK and Europe it’s in litres as well. But the US is imperial. Please post the price per litre or price per gallon where your from.

Picked up a new (to me) one last week. Not the exact model they based the GTA car from but it is a full size Station Wagon. 1995 Chevy Caprice. Light Driftwood Metallic and Tan interior. Needs some TLC but is a straight, solid and nearly rust free ride. I had one before but sold it back in 2014 because it was a rusty mess. Ordered a new carpet set for it that will be here Friday, so I know what I'll be doing all weekend. Also putting a new headliner in it and have to remove the bad tint on the windows. Also I am not able to own a car that is quiet so the exhaust is being changed out as well.

I gotta put some new headers on my S10, one of the current headers on it were cracked when I got it, I welded it but now it is cracked around the weld so I am gonna put a new set on it to solve the problem. Debating on Hooker or Hedman headers, not sure if it really makes a difference on brand as far as those 2 go, both are reputable companies. As far as the style of header there isn't much option in S10 V8 headers. Does anyone know if say a Hooker fits better than Hedman usually or the other way around? The real question though is mufflers, I currently have Flowmasters on it, I love the way it sounds most of the time, at about 45 to 50mph they resonate reall…

Hi
What time zone are you active in? (Ex. East Coast of the US GMT -5) Our tags must remain active during vetting, can you abide by this?
