Haha, yes, you did indeed Rob!!! That shall not be forgotten! :lol: Cheers man, I must admit I was impressed myself with the finish I got too. Really impressed with the U Pol paint I used.


Merc, the rear arches will be coming off, don't worry, just waiting till I have money again so I can get all the bits, and get everything ready, so I can just pull the old arches off and mount the new ones straight away.

Cheers. Yea, I was very impressed with the finish too. It's a rattle can job, but you really wouldn't tell it.

Finish looks good, but the blues looked way better imo (much more interesting and 'special').

I didn't mind it but it was a one off colour made by someone else, not me, so I didn't like it for that reason. Plus it's not very rod-ish either. Lol

I haven't done any more work on this as of late other than fitting a stereo, as I need to order some parts up before I can pull the rear arches off (ie lights and number plate mounts), but I have been having ideas of the Jap persuasion with future plans on this.

I have been contemplating the option and possibility of fitting a H22A to it when it's converted to a pick up truck! Could certainly be fun!



Anyways, pics of the stereo, I pulled out of the Mustang as I just haven't been driving it lately as it's just been relegated to being my parts hauler now these days (yes, I have a Mustang as a parts hauler! :lol: )

Close up, yes, that's an old music video with a beardless me in the background (not the girl with yellow hair before anyone comments! :roll: )

That would be one jobby-load of weight at the back of the car... :? More tail happy than a 1980's 911 Turbo? :lol:
