DoctorRetro Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Sorry to hear that it's not performing quite as it did from the factory.210,000 miles and 25 years will do that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Fuck it, a few more cans of matt black from the pound show evens it out a bit. Yes, it looks silly, but littleun is having fun, and it's funny seeing the looks of disgust from fellow motorists. rainagain, theshadow, LightBulbFun and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 It needs rivets. Also some chequer plate somehow. GrumpiusMaximus and Marm Toastsmith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 There was a pug 406 saloon down the road last week which had a similar vibe, wish I’d taken a pic of it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louiepj Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Everytime you drive past a skip or some junk left at side of road just pick it up and chuck it on that roof rack. Be fun to see how much random crap you can collect and if it increases people's horror.Go full family Clampett on it!! BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I think it’d look better if it had some half finished repairs done to it. Like an arch in red oxide or zinc primer. GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Maybe put some of the money for paint into an exhaust repair bandage and grease for the brake caliper sliders. loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Maybe put some of the money for paint into an exhaust repair bandage and grease for the brake caliper sliders. At a quid per tin, it's hardly broken the bank, and it keeps littlun amused. It's not so much fun an activity for a 7 year old: 'Come on, let's grease the calipers' Plus I've already got gun gum and copper grease in the drawer. Will save that for a weekend he's not here Lacquer Peel, paulplom and Exiled_Tat_Gatherer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 An old shovel complete with rust and potentially woodworm from the car boot sale adds to the look...

purplebargeken Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 It needs a proper* sun visor attached to the roof, it must have rivets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one lot of diecasts and it was all cheap Chinese modern crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Yeah, I've been to Sadlers on a Sunday before and that was crap too. It's been going on Saturdays forever, and everyone goes then it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohdearme Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Please tell me you drive this everywhere whilst wearing a Sunday best suit, tie and brown brogues as if everything is normal. That really screws with people. Once got pulled in Leeds in my mk1 Shogun as it was registered down south 200 miles away (I was up here on work), not sure what the copper really knew what to do with a guy in full business suit driving a battered but road legal shed, checked it all out and waved me along looking puzzled AF.
