There are a bunch of build threads on here. Many of them have disappeared into the bowels of the forum to never be seen again. 

I would love for everyone to make a post listing all of their build threads. As you add builds, edit your original post. Try to keep this thread clean and easily scannable. 

These are the ones I've started. I tend to make build threads for everything as it's an easy way to document what has been done.

Some are finished, many are abandoned. Some aren't worth the words and pictures, but I like to think some of them are interesting.

No build threads from me, but this amazing thread brought back a thought I've often had.

 

Why don't we have the option to add build threads to profiles, even link them in the garage section?

I mean, even a 'threads started by' would help. 

 

Now on to read build threads I've missed now that I know they exist :)

Great thread idea!

Just the one so far.

Here's mine:

Tojeiro Jag Replica

Lotus Europa Restomod - Zetec Powered

MGB GT Restomod - Zetec Powered

Lotus Elan Resto

The only one that's really being worked on at the moment is the Toj, the Elan is due to be pulled out of the back of the garage shortly, the Europa seems to not need much, while the BGT is currently not running and will need some attention either this winter or in the spring.  And I guess sometime in the near future I'll start a new build thread for the Coventry Climax that's lurking in the corner of the garage.

Let's see, in no particular order....

Life with a 1985 CRX Si

The life and times of Miata #338

Why nothing got done on the MG today (1966 Cadillac)

Living with a car from the future (Tesla Model 3)

Fun with an XJ

Making the bus stop (Wilwood brakes on a VW Vanagon) Part 1 and Part 2

Drive by wire conversion on a Vanagon

Subaru 6-speed transmission into a Vanagon

The Targa Miata moves to the next stage

And a few that aren't really build threads because they predate it, but they're builds none the less

The Targa Miata (lightweight rally Miata that turned into a V8 powered rally Miata that turned into a V8 powered track car)

The LS1-powered MGB (decent GRM thread to supplement it)

Basil (1967 Land Rover, build diary starts in late 2000)

And a couple that aren't cars and that turned out to be more like voyages of discovery:

Building an analog race dash (this is quite a journey)

Turning old radios into modern speakers: Majestic 91 and Peerless Reproducer

The deck and ramp rebuild

The carport shop I don't live at this house anymore, some earlier pictures are missing, but there's still a lot of stuff in that thread that could be useful to somebody on a budget. 

The Smithton house master thread everything to do with the house, with links to the bigger projects in the first post, bathroom, deck, basement, I think chickens. 

The home deli my adventures in sausage making and homemade lunch meat. I've been quiet in it for a while because life, but with winter coming I will be getting back into this, hard. 

I no longer have links to the build threads for any of my vehicles because I unfollow them at sale. I never did anything cool anyway, always went in with grand intentions and wound up maintenance logs. 

You'll need to log in to post.
