The cars and bikes thread!

[Faiz]

Anyone into cars or bikes?

Thought it would be cool to share some of the projects you're doing or completed or just whatever car or bike you've got right now!

I recently started a project for my new Hilti salesman, decided to buy him a Suzuki Supercarry.
It's tiny and perfectly suited for African traffic with 4WD and plenty of boot space for all the tools he'll be lugging around.

Started out like this;



Bit of body filler and rust repair but in general it was in very good condition.
Then gave it a full body wrap;



As you can see they ended up putting some of the vinyl the wrong way round!
Had to get some of it done again.

Then from my stock of wheels I had this badass set of SSR split rims, never seen a set like it, and they fit right on the van.
The originals were 12's and these are 13's;



Went with 185/60/13's. Managed to get some Kumho's for a great price at 35% discount.



And there you have it, one badass Hilti van;



Very simple project but it was good fun, I'd had the wheels for 3 years so it was great to see them on something!
I really wanted to lower it a bit but recent flooding would result in the van floating!



As for me, here's my latest build, Yamaha SR400 Café Racer;



So what do you have, I wanna see!

I like cars, but I don't like spending much money on my day to day car. So I need something safe, big, comfortable and not too expensive. So I drive one of these:

Will have this finally done by next spring-

Almost as expensive of a hobby as collecting watches........




Also like to play with this-

Great idea, Faiz! My father was a builder and we used Hilti guns often. Nothing exciting from me. Found some pics on the web that match my not-so-unique vehicles.

Family hauler for my crew of 7.



Honda CRV. I had a 2007 that I traded in at 14 years old having never spent a dime on it beyond regular maintenance. The new one looks like this, and has been just as reliable. It's usually loaded with bikes or pulling a trailer as I head towards the ocean or mountains. Surprisingly rugged vehicle considering it's not truck based.



My last bike, sold when the first child came along...

This is mine.
A 10 yr old Alfa 156 2 litre Twin Spark.



In the middle of a suspension overhaul a while back.



This lot went into the front.

Old School......

Had this '06 STI until my insurance doubled when my teenager got a license, so traded it for another winter mobile.....






......this PRO-4X with 6-speed stick version of the Xterra by Nissan, built in USA.
Only the PRO-4X has the white gauges.

We have an X-Terra also. And 3 other cars.
