It's just so bloody......... NEAT! ( prepare for more caps lock)

IIIIIIIIIIII LIIIIKE ITTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I'll say. This thing is verging on ridiculous - in a good way!!!!

I like to pick on other peoples cars, as I don't have anything particularly good myself hahaha, but this car makes it very hard. If I had to dislike something it would be the pretend wheel tubs in the back. Seems a little unnecessary. So seeing as it has this problem, can I have it? : )

Again, great work matey :spoton:

That floor looks so good like that! Makes it look so professional!

How much did that all cost you? How much did it all weigh?

It's quite heavy, about 7 -10 kilo's if I remember. But to get the car quiet you have to accept some weight.

Hi Kush, sorry for my tardiness but simply put no kids, 1 mate don't drink and for the dead hooker leave on the side of the road as you don't want to be caught with evidence in your car

Hi 2wild4u, the wheels I bought were from ebay from a guy who had them custom made from OZ Wheels, they are 19 x 8 and the backs are 19 x 10 and a quarter. They are genuine 3 piece wheels which are very similar to the styling of the Simmons. At the moment I have had them pulled apart, painted them on the weekend and getting them reassembled very soon, have photos will post later.

Hi patch & MRLXSS, When I dynamated hatch I used 2 and a half boxes I also did my roof and some small areas in the doors and the rear quarters and the complete floor from front to back. Prices ranged from $200 to $220 from ebay and Autobarn as for the weight I'm not to sure but I feel the benifits of using it is worth more than not using it, as I believe the weight is only small compared to the whole picture.

Well the big day finally came, fired up the old girl last weekend and of course as we all know not everything went right first off no spark bad earth, fixed that and bang an almighty rumble it came to life after 4 and a half years it's good to hear it finally run, also had a couple of leaks only water, oil and fuel the three main ingredients for a healthy motor, but luckly these were only minor and with a bit of thread tape and a couple of hours we were running again. Overall the motor sounds good and strong sharp and extremely responsive , it will be good to get her on the road not long now getting close I can almost feel it the only thing holding me back is the dreaded bank balance or lack of it. Here's a couple of photos of my new wheels hope to have them back together real soon so i can put her back down and go for a test run, also there's another little project I'm working on a little cover plate for where the bonnet latch goes.

Hi pato, Thanks for the comments it's been a lot of hard work amd too much money to think of , I finally got my wheels back from the wheel shop after they put them back together for me so I put my tyres back on 2 new ones for the rear little bit taller in the profile to fill up the rear flares as you will see in the photos, a couple of little things to sort out and hopefully I can put it back down on the ground. Also on the weekend I did some more work on my cover plate fitting now so all I have to do is hopefully give it a good sand and put a coat of paint on it and that will be done. Not really much left to do just lack of finanical support might have to look at selling some more bits and pieces I have laying around to keep the project rolling. Also pato just for you black centres with polished outer hoops, I hope you appreciate it.
