  1. lovinn the graphics dude, really works! what are those speedlines off? are they a factory wheel? cheers
  2. bright motherfooking green? red and green should never be seen, but will stand out like fook aspecially if you have some stickers, or bits of trim in the same colour of green
  3. loving the project dude, quick work and looks top notch! keep it up.
  4. yeah they need cutting out, go to your local car window suppliers and ask for some cutting wire. you need to take the plastic trim off the windows, poke a small screwdriver through the glue and slide the wire through. get a mate to help you. one each side of the window and saw through the glue with the wire
  5. oh yeah, i forgot to add, i dont claim, and not on the dole or anything, lol, when people ask me what i do, and i say i dont work, they instantly think that i'm on the dole and spend all my cash on cars. its just i have a very understanding girlfriend
  6. i dont need light wheels, i need strong and cheap ones, i have LOADS of rally and race tyres, and no 4x100 wheels, so i'll keep the standard wheels.... unless you really want them and can swap me for some random 14 inch alloys? pm me your address fella and i'll find out how much postage will be, no worries. money... err i have no job, and no money... i used to work for myself building classic cars, mainly VW's, but i have a bone disease so had to give that up, i'm in constant pain and my bones fuse together, i have to inject myself weekly to stop the fusing. my girlfriend pays for the rent on our flat, food, etc, ive been with her since i was 16 and i'm now 26. if you notice, i make everything, so dont spend much cash on the cars so far ive spent £40 on the paseo the bus, ok that does 10mpg, but i make my own fuel, old cooking oil, heated and filtered, mixed with a little petrol or methanol, tax is the same as a car, insurance £200 fully comp
  7. yeah i have those, £4 for the pair, and yeah i'll ship to you no problem. i'll wrap them up and find out how much postage is for you. pm me your address. cheers
  8. sweet, show him this tread lol fibreglass is awsome stuff, its really chilled out to work with and you also get high we have a couple of motors, but just 1600 aircooled sitting around, so probably put one of those in the rod, its gonna be ultra low, just for cruisin and scraping speed bumps
  9. welded in the rollcage mount plates in the rally car.
  10. why thank you anyone like bajabugs? i still have this, but its been put to the back of the pile of projects
  11. i used to live in the bus with my girlfriend, and our housemate who is also a girl. now i just use it for holidays. what do you need a tv for when you go to crazy places with your mates in a london bus? lol i get my stuff from glasplies southport http://www.glasplies.co.uk/ the karmann ghia got rear ended a couple of weeks ago, a guy in a passat wasnt looking what he was doin and failed to notice i had stopped to turn right.... so waiting for insurance to be sorted. mate, the wheels i'll be keeping for racing, the foglights, you can have for nowt buddy, pay the postage and they are yours today i cleaned up the garage, and welded in two 3mm plates for the main rollcage hoop, couldnt keep my hands off it, lol. no pics tho sorry. some cars i'm building at the moment, ouve seen the ghia, bus and toyota, and my mates 86, this is my dad's beach buggy, usually based on a beetle chassis, this one is custom box and tube frame with splitty running gear, and 1.9 vw diesel motor. built by me and my dad. keeps him busy when hes not out on his motorbikes. 1 year only porsche motor, me and my mate andy rebuilt it, its to go in his early bay camper, but he has decided to sell it, as its worth about £4k ish, and he bought a flat 4 alfa motor instead. beetle hot rod, this is a shared project between me and andy ( andy in the pic) this is andy's caravan, made from a camper cut in half, its to tow behind his bay camper. we work on this at night, the front of it is the front of the camper too, so it has headlights and front window etc, looks like a dead short camper with 2 wheels. and this is my daily car, 71 reliant regal, slammed, spax shocks, and 850cc high compression race motor lol can have most cars on the road, and tops out at 100mph scary as fook, imagine the wild mouse rollercoaster at blackpool but with a race engine and on the road. lol ive only flipped it once, i learnt the hard was as i put my hand out the window when it tipped. nice big scar the reliant engine yey action shots of the ghia when i first built it a couple of years ago, 1600 aircooled race motor on twin 40's
  12. i went to get mt mates 86 MSA log booked yesterday, asked him a few questions and found outthe rear spoiler has to be factory, or factory option, or holomigated, so..... :S not mny people even know what a paseo is, so i recon i could get away with a celica spoiler...

  14. sweet, i like that! i was origionally thinking of castrol colours, like the celicas. i need a bis ass spoiler like that for the Paseo too
  15. yeah i can do that no problem, probably as a rear sunstrip, as Demon-Tweeks will most likely be on the front screen. i aint done anything to the car today, ive been cleaning the bus and getting it ready for its MOT i need to pick up 5 1/2 gallons of engine oil for it this week,
  16. Allreety, as some of you may have seen in Paseo Pimp, i'm building a Paseo rally car, and just trying to get ideas for a colour scheme. I fancy doing it in a Toyota race livery but with my own sponsors on there, so basically i'm asking for people to post pics of Toyota rally and race cars to get some ideas, a sponsor of mine makes vynal graphics, so anything can be done, and i need to choose a base colour to paint the car. If your interested in the build thread, take a look here: http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....mp;#entry572902 cheers Rob
  17. na parts arnt worth anything, maybe stick them up on ebay, shell isnt worth anything unless someone who is rallying one wants a spare shell..... and looks like mine is the only rally car in the uk and thats not even finished yet. your probably better off sticking a 4e in there and selling it complete, or just take the engine and box out and weigh in the rest @£100-ish. i'll take the standard bumpers and front wings off you if your selling them cheap enough/giving them away so i have them as spares, but i aint that fussed
  18. its only a car, dont be scared chopping into it at the end of the day its only metal, and nuts and bolts. heres the wires the car doesnt need, was a bit of a pain in the ass doing this as i didnt have a wiring diagram, so had to follow each wire back to where it came from. its made the loom a lot smaller, neater and lighter too. you cant really see that well, but the loom was taking up the whole drivers side footwell, but now its nice and neat. rear struts: i also did the cam cover in a sort of bobble effect matt black too. thats all for now folks. i could do with some sponsorship too, like seats, harnesses, suspension if anyone knows any companys that would be interested in having their name on the side of the car. its somthing different than the usual 205's, saxos, 106's and corsas that this car will be competing against, so will defo get the company noticed. I'll also take it to shows too
  19. i also made a quick shifter, cost me nothing and took about 10 mins. works perfect too. i took the origional shifter and modified it, real easy to do, all you need is a blow torch and a hacksaw or angle gringer with cutting disc, hammer and socket/pipe take the shifter out and stick it in a vice. the pivot ball needs to be slit, so take your grinder or saw and make a slice in it to the shaft. from top to bottom. now heat the ball up real well with the blow torch untill its nearly glowing red. take a long socket or piece of tube that fits over the stick but not over the ball, and hammer the shit out of it till the ball moves as far as you can towards the gearnob part of the stick. now chuck it in a bucket of cold water or run it under a tap so it cools. there you have a short shifter for 0 cash
  20. aye, and plus the engine sticks out of the engine lid, so its obvious that the engine is in the back sorry for the lack of pics on this update, i didnt get much done to the toyota really, as i had my mates mk2 golf in, doing a bit of welding to it and sorting out the paintwork that had faded badly (its a red car) i made some rear turet reinforcing plates and welded them in, the cage will also be welded to these so they will help stop the rear shocks deforming the shell after serious jumps, or even punching through, as the toyota metal, alltho real good quality - its quite thin. When i was welding up the 86, i though it was going to be a pain in the ass, because the panels are so thin, but not so, because the steel is very high qulity. this is excellent for a race car, because it makes it light, but its so chilled out to weld up the worse car ive welded up was a mk4 fiesta, the metal was quite thick, but real shite quality, it was so soft it was like welding plastic! total wank! thats why i'll never buy a ford! oh and sorry i forgot my camera, so i'll get some pics either today or tomorrow, i ended up in hospital last night, as a piece of metal went in my eye, it scratched the shit out of it, managed to get it out tho and got some special cream to put it, still hurts today :S
  21. well i can make them thicker, and put captive nuts in for hinges, its just on this car they will be as thin as poss to save weight. its not going to be a daily car, so opening the boot is no worry... the karmann ghia has pins on the bonnet and engine lid, the fuel tank is under the bonnet, so every time i fill it up at a petrol station, i have to take the bonnet completly off lol. ive had petrol stations that wont switch the pumps on because they think i'm putting fuel directly into the engine, lol.
  22. no problem fella. well, the boot will be mounted on bonnet pins, same with the bonnet the fibreglass will be so thin that it would just snap if it was on hinges
  23. Nice one, yeah i'll go on the UKSC stand, no worries bit of an update from this weekend, i cut the panhard rod and welded in a M14 bolt to make it adjustable, and found some tube that fits perfectly inside the U channel of the rod, and welded it in to make it real strong: i took the fuel tank out to clean off any rust and dirt, gave it a real good coat of paint too: i need to coat the bottom of the tank in Fibreglass to protect it, as its under the car, my mate, ian came down to help me cut the windows out to give it a bit more lightness i decided the car didnt need this anymore: i also made an alloy sump guard, but forgot to take any pics of it, and its now fitted to the car some more pics i took
  24. sweet sweet, yeah i'll come allong no problem, even if its not finished, i can A frame it down as a work in progress. i asked my mate, Ian, with the 86, and he's up for going too. looked on the JAE site, looks a reet good do indeed. how many cars we need for a stand of our own?
