Re: Woody's Retro Project,New Pictures 27/08/13
So this weekend was a big one for me, last two shows of the year in one trip which all round was a 565 mile journey.
After the last outing to Retro Rides the car wasn't running right at all,so had it checked out & found that I had a valve gone.
The damage.
Also the carb was knackered & kept flooding, so I got a nice brand new Webber replacement fitted, pics to follow as have none at the moment.
Early start 4.30am Saturday morning was the plan so we could get to Rollhard for the 10am opening,got there just before 10 & started to set up in the rain.
All set up.
Great 1st show for the Rollhard boys but I think the weather put a lot of people off even though it did dry out in the afternon,when I was getting the car ready I had a guy come up to me & asked if I would fancy staying later on for a little photoshoot for the magazine he worked for & of course I really couldn't say no.
A few pics I took while he was shooting away.
So after he had finished we drove back down to the hotel to meet up with Scott (Pea) for the evening ready for the big one on Sunday, another early start at 7am to makesure I get my hanger spot & then start the cleaning all over again.
Set up in the Players hanger.
During the day they said if you have a Meguiar's sticker stuck on your windscreen you had won a prize,so after having a good look around the show I came back to this.
So 3.30 came & the awards were getting handed out I won a top 10 winners medal from the sponsors Meguiars, then they carried on giving out some special awards to the cars of the show & news to me my car got called out again for the G23 Engineering's car of the show,couldnt believe it & was completely shocked.
Still in shock we packed up ready for the long journey home.
Both cars together.
So we headed off on the journey home which was going all well until around 50 miles home I had a puncture on one of the rears, gutted but now the 21 is finally a trailer queen lol !
Being unloaded at 12.30am last night/this morning.
All in all I had a fantastic weekend with good company,2 great shows & lots of amazing cars roll on next year cant wait.

Just a small little update on the e21, been looking for a original rear window louvre for the car for some time now & out of the blue a member on here messaged me saying he had one for sale & asked if i wanted it, of course i couldnt say no.
Auto-plas Rear Window Louvre.
Fitted to the car with some different wheels i was trying.
Shame the wheels were 15s as they wouldnt fit on the front.
The car wasnt coming out this year due to having the e36 on the road but i changed my mind when i got a email saying that a new show in the southwest called BHP Fuel Fest wanted it as one of their indoors spots, so couldnt really say no & had to MOT & tax straight away.
The night before the show setting up.
And a few from the day of the show.
