Shite Customs.

[maxpower]

i saw a black hackney cab done like that bedford cf with lowered roof and body widened.... will have to try and get a pic of it to post for y'all

[CreepingJesus]

Top thread, sir. I should dig out some old copies of 'Chrome + Flames', some of the European customs were weapons grade wtf.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder............ Wait till she is finished but dont hold your breath

[scooters]

Can I just say how disappointed I am to have opened this thread to find not a single pic of a SAXO with some really shite body kit and a horrible wee schemie leering out the window with a driving position so prone he can't see over his sovs...

[timmyteapot]

 

now that is pure sex and needs to be on my drive

 

 

Last taxed in 1984! Wonder where it is now?

[chaseracer]

 

John Baldaccino's Rover-powered HA, IINVMM

 

Saw this at the Bristol Custom Car Show in 1980 - it's not changed much...

[worldofceri]

Have we had this yet?

 

Seen at Billing this year. Not a bad idea as it goes and a lot of work gone in, but the details ruin it for me; The wheels and colour are wrong; The interior looked crap too as I remember.

 

[eddyramrod]

What's up with the back? Is it an estate that's been made into a pickup? The D pillar looks a bit awkward from this angle. Also, although no fan of yellow cars, I think the colour suits it. You don't build a car to be so noticeable, then paint it navy blue, do you? (Well yes, actually, it's been done, but it's wrong...)

What's up with the back? Is it an estate that's been made into a pickup?

Going by the vent and the angle at the trailing edge - yup, I'd say so. Agree on the colour, but then I like yellow...

The vehicle A974KEX, a Volvo 240 Gle (Estate), is on our database

[barrett]

Haha, that Corsair is absurd! What's the triptych on the bonnet then? I'm guessing three deceased '50s Rock 'n Roll stars....

Some pearoasts here but never mind, sit back and enjoy!

The shows back on again at the end of the month so expect more!

[barrett]

wow... people really are tasteless fucking morons aren't they....

 

That Sierra would look really neat as a three-door van I reckon, if you ripped off all the stupid shite stuck to it and put it on normal wheels. The lights on that Classic always make me laugh... wtf were they thinking??

[dollywobbler]

Tasteless and pretty talentless in some of those cases. The Ford Classic with VW headlamps being a case in point.

[pompei]

What's under the bonnet of the Kitten?

[trigger]

I have a funny feeling it was standard, it was on ebay not long after the show, DVLA seems to back up this.

I really rather like that Omega Estate! And the Corsair is pretty cool as well...

On the other hand that Maestro van is fucking horrific and whoever did that needs their head examined.

[flat4alfa]

Hurry up, it's getting chilly

[barrett]

That is something else that.... fantastic stuff!

[Rusty Pelican]

Got an old TN-7 and a supercharged V6 motor , then why not combine the two

 

[Lankytim]

That Caprina estate 6 wheeled limo is both shockingly shit AND awesome all at once!

[Alexg]

Cor that Capri/Marina is fecking insane, but look at the amount of pudding in the nose of the Victor

 

Wonderful pictures

[flat4alfa]

The Morris Capri Station Wagonette was apparently built from a 1.8 SDL Marina.
