wish i had a dad growing up! Lots of cool stuff here guys!

You may not have had a father, but you always have the opportunity to be one man. Content is great, I agree!

That motor is beautiful, and the new project looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Rebuilt the motor on his BMW which he then gifted to me after the motor was built.


Now we have a new one and it's going to be by my spec not his -.-

This was the "Germany" float in my son's school parade. They towed them around the halls.

I took him to school in my M3 baws style. Was a cool day

I can't wait for stuff like this.

The year before I moved out of my parents, my dad finally bought our neighbour's 1969 MGB and we spent the next year restoring it together. He always says I had beer goggles on when I first went to inspect it, as it turned out to be in rougher shape than expected and we overpaid for it slightly. We've put enough cash in that he wouldn't sell it now because it would be at a pretty big loss! Luckily it has a lot of sentimental value too so there is no reason to do so.

This winter he bought a 1969 Mini, which is already restored, but we need to replace the interior this summer. Luckily this one has a backseat so now my son can ride with us back there!

Sorry no "stance" here, he's not really a fan of lowering cars lol.

If my mom says something is broken, I am the one who has to fix it. The extent of my dad's tool knowledge is hanging a picture. That being said, he's a smart dude and a great business man, he just has very little mechanical aptitude.

That explains me to a T

Very interesting, like I said that would have been so strange for me growning up. If something broke "Dad will fix it".

He didnt even know how to do handy work. He was forced to learn all that through my mom

Me and my Dad don't really have a project, I'd like to but it seems like we're always working on something random anyways so It keeps up busy haha.

still trying to convince my dad on a datsun 510 project with a rb20 swap. hes warming up to the idea, or he wants to take my grandfathers old ass accord coupe ('88) and drop a v8 in it LOL

[mrg7243]

Yep, pretty much the same as you minus the grand national part.

I got lucky with that

Ouch, that would be huge culture shock for me, I did grow up around a handyman. Just not a car enthusiast. If that makes sense. It's like being as good as a pro boxer, but never entering any fights.

My dad has never turned a wrench in his life. Everything that I know was self taught. I never had a mentor or anything. In fact I taught my dad how to change oil He still doesnt even do that I have to do it for him.

I would have loved to have that time to bond as well have nothing really in common.

Though the Grand National I have was his that I took over.
