Brian Thomson Name added by moderator.

Not strictly a new member, just been lost for a while, I am the owner of a T-bucket built in Perth, some people may remember it from the 70's (its not dead yet but has seen better days).
I am married to Jackie with 3 kids all old enough to drive (god that makes me old) my wife works in the Inks Minxs Tattoo shop in Montrose.
I am nuts about bikes and cars new and old, I have the T-bucket project & 105E project which I plan to put a bike engine into (I know that might be a bit off the norm for this site but I will post photos when the work starts).

Hi Totus and welcome to the forum. As has been mentioned maybe you could tell us a little more about yourself and your car history? Helps us all to get to know each other better and creates a friendlier atmosphere.

Have updated my profile (bear with me I am just finding my way around the site), I am a Bike nut and cars of course, My brother runs a V8 pop.

That is indeed the car and it looks like Arnie the Builder sitting on it, it was featured in Nov 1979 Custom car.
When Arnie Shellon sold the car after I believe 12 years or so of every day use, my brother owned it for a short time 15 or 16 years ago.
It was in an ex-arny store in perth for a while then it dissapeared.

I came accross it by chance, by this time it had been stripped and transported to at least 3 different locations, so it came to me in parts (lots of parts) this was 5 years ago, I traced where it had been and collected some of the missing parts, contacted Arnie who came up to see the car, he was a little sad as to its condition but glad it had survived (Him and His father tried to find it some years earlier but were told it had been scrapped)

Over the last few years I have been collecting parts for it and as my kids are older now its getting to the time where I will start to get it put back together.
