scaryoldcortina Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hey, I like it. Your car, do what you want and please post more because you are actually doing something constructive. +1 for Lidl paint as well.

garbaldy Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I was kinda wondering how long it would take for someone to slate you.This forum doesn't appear to like modifying motors so I took a look at what I post and pretty much all my threads happen to be modifications one way or another, I decided against touching the sierra but still can't sell it so what are you supposed to do.

ShiteRider Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I think it's just nice to have a thread that isn't just click bait or a carbon copy of something that's been done before.I'm thinking "what are xxxxx like?" when there'll already be half a dozen threads answering that if you just use the search function.If i don't like a thread, i don't look at it.Is there a specific style your aiming for with the passat, or just trying different things out?

worldofceri Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Not sure when the collective agreement that says you can't modify your shite was ratified. Must have missed it. UltraWomble, Joey spud, For Fiats Sake and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraWomble Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Its fine, its yours, do what you like with it.I like it.I like the standard car, but you know, its quite funky and nice. Im looking for a classic ped, and when I eventually get one its getting painted yellow & black like a wasp. Balls to the purists. Mind you, if you pour nitromors over it and dangle an iron from the rear lashing eye I'll set the Incredible Smurf on you...Dont make him angry, you wouldnt like him when he is angry eddyramrod, purplebargeken and Rocket88 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I was expecting a thread where you returned it to standard. Unsure of what reaction you expected, it's clear that the 'inevitable' word will pop up somewhere in another member's reply though.

eddyramrod Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I like the wood mindYeah I do too. As someone else said, it's very 70s, and that's fine by me. We clearly differ on our choice of base, but that's life. Enjoy! Rocket88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Difficult for me to envisage the whole from just seeing a panel or two. I like the look of how it was but as others have said, it's your car you do what you want to it. Look forward to seeing how it progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panhard65 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I must admit it isn't my thing but I do like the paint on the bonnet. I think it will look pretty good once done, maybe it could do with going back to the original ride height to make it better to drive mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
