1987 Range Rover classic Southern car New Pics – $2500 (Grosse Pointe)
Have you ever watched Hoovies Garage on Youtube? I’ve grown quite fond of it. Short segments on interesting cars that he buys and fixes (through his mechanic The Wizard in Kansas or by himself) before selling them on. His shtick, … Continued
1974 Triumph TR6 – $1999 (Warren)
Tempting. I’ve always liked Triumphs and this one with a lot of work done seems like a great bargain. Pull the top off and just start driving it. Find it for sale on Detroit Craigslist on October 12, 2018. “Last … Continued
Restoration Wednesday, Brakes Break
Last week it was brake fluid up my nose. This week, here’s to mud in your eye. Which actually happens a lot when I’m working under a jacked up dirty car. I always wear glasses but my prescription doesn’t work … Continued

Saw this on eBay last night when I couldn’t sleep. Somebody’s “plan to restore” project that has now sat since 1990. Please don’t let me be that guy. I’m really trying to get my projects running. I didn’t buy … Continued
Restoration Wednesday, Making a Window
Glass can be hard to find for an old BMW. When I went searching on Craigslist I almost ended up with an entire car. What am I going to do trying to save two Bavarias? I’ve only got so much … Continued
Restoration Wednesday, When Turning the Key Just Isn’t Good Enough
It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, wire up toggle switches and a starter button. Maybe three toggles, not just the two pictured, that need to be tripped in proper-secret-order to get the engine to drink the Kool-Aid so nobody … Continued
Restoration Wednesday, BMW Bavaria To The Rescue
Who rescued who is the question. My first car was a 1974 BMW 2002. As such, I’ll always have a soft spot for BMWs. But my last experience trying to reincarnate my love for the marque left me relenting … Continued
