Wot car shite is screwed to your wall

[Dippy]

I love finding shite to screw to the wall although everything seems so expensive these days but I have managed to find some reasonably priced shite.

 

Bagged this on a recent holiday and converted to run on UK power supply

 

Noddy driving a old  pedal car and an exit sign which I think may have been original to the 1926 building I got it from.

 

 

So lets see what you've found.

 

 

 

[DSdriver]

Old number plates... so boring I'm not even going to snap them.

[Skizzer]

Nowt.  There's more than enough of my old tat strewn around the driveway without nailing stuff to the walls as well.

[PiperCub]

Also old number plates!

 

Love that Michelin clock, I've got some boring white plastic cheapo affair, a cast-off from work.

I hope that's your house, not your workshop, I do have a few old signs, petrol globes and radiator grilles, etc. in the garage. these will have to be relocated as that house is being sold. It'll probably end up on the walls in the basement.

 

Doesn't show too well as I'm a crap photographer and it was a pic of the car in the garage.

 

Only car thing in the house is

 

 

Which now has Bertie Bassett sat in it

[hairnet]

box of number plates, a current french road sign

[twosmoke300]

Not car but bike but I made a clock from one of the old front discs from the wife's fire blade

[Duke O Smiley]

Another one here with old number plates belonging to my (now dead) Dolomite

 

 

I've also got this (the badge) hanging on the wall on the other end of the garage. It came free under the seat of a car

 

 

I've got old plates from a lot of deceased/ sold cars in the shed that I have been meaning to hang but they'll only bring back bad memories so I haven't done that. I had a grille from an 18/85 hanging on the wall too until it was nicked

[Ghosty]

Couple of numberplates around the house - one from an old Civic and a pre-EU German one I got for 50p at a car boot sale. 

There's a 1990s aerial photograph of the collection of houses I live in (collective term for a housing estate??) hanging up that we found in the loft on moving in in 1999.

These are my door handles on my office

 

 

good idea for a thread, I'm not arty enough to upcycle, but its now got me thinking about which car parts I could turn into functional furniture.....

[PiperCub]

Nice! Jag XK camcovers?

[sofarsogood]

I made a clock from a Range Rover clutch plate, its still hanging up in my parents garage I think. Only the clock bit broke so its just a clutch plate on the wall really.

[Shep Shepherd]

All of my walls have pictures of German Shepherds and wolves on them

[fred]

Ive got spiders scorpions etc in glass cases

[Uncle Jimmy]

Lots of spiders outside glass cases.

I have a massive c1925 Shell oil sign, probably* worth £100000 by now. An MG magnette grille (my old man had one) an Alvis hub cap (old man had one) a 1981 Castrol calender and a gun.

[fred]

The spiders outside cases are in the shed big as cats with bovver boots

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

I am not organised enough to actually screw something to a wall. I do have several car related things just vaguely sitting around though.

Sheps take over your life, that's not a bad thing really, I prefer my German shepherd's company to most people that I meet

[Roostybroon]

I dug up a bearing cap for a model T ford in the garden and gave it pride of place in the living room window.

For some reason every time I fit new tyres to something I stick the stickers off them inside the workshop door.

[jakebullet]

Land rover 2 1/4 head gasket, burnt out between cylinders 3 & 4.

[xtriple]

Three radiator shells: Daimler V8,  Mercedes  126, Austin A30. 'Jaguar' sign and then photos of bikes I've owned.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Every time I buy a car with one of these things ruining the grille it gets torn off and added it to the pile.

 

I also still have this:

[Guest Breadvan72]

My nadgers.  Screwed to the wall by Mrs BV every time I buy another gopping piece of automotive misery.

 

Photos on request.

The chimney breast in our lounge has a full size original engineering drawing of an early post war MG gearbox casing.  It has faded quite a bit now though so I will soon get around to replacing it with the Park Ward Alvis TD styling drawings I have (but will mount copies and keep the originals in their envelope.).  There's also the signed Norman Dewis photographs C&SC got him to send us when my daughter's letter was published a few years ago along with a copy of the magazine page.

[jonny69]

Nothing car-related on mine at all. It's got a few big nails banged into it which are handy storage spots for sets of old bicycle handlebars, rims and tyres though. More of a functional wall than decorative

[Taff]

Genuine Moon disc turned into a clock

 

 

I'm pretty certain I bought this disc (and 3 others) off Seth of this parish. 1 fell off and got driven over in Salisbury on the way to Hayling Island, one fell off at the Nats, one got left in the boot of my chopped A50 when I sold it, leaving me with just one

[Christine]

Bet no-ones got one of these mobiles !! I chawd it when the local motor factors shut.

I got the Castrol swing street sign too.. Open / Closed , but its a bit sunbleached

 

 

 

[sporty-shite]

I've got a 1970s Audio hubcap clock in the kitchen next to my AS calendar. Also got an absolute shit load of other hubcap clocks boxed up in the garage.

 

Really must get round to taking pictures of them and getting them sold.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Here's me sign.

I do have about 60 of the little brass plaques that used to be handed out at steam fairs and car shows; I took em all down as I was doing building repairs but they'll go up again soon. Some date back to the mid 1970's.

Alas, they don't seem to hand em out any more, I guess the brass would be expensive.
