Now that looks like my kinda room, dirty car parts and a big GREEN room :lol

 

[melissachels]

haha I had forgot to take the sticker off the camera at that point! :lol as you can see its now removed.

now you can see the full extent of the dirt and chaos that is my garage :thumb2:lol

Have you any idea what it's expected to look like when finished. Did you have photos or drawings or are you winging it?
I'm thinking something between mad max and batman!

I'm definitely winging it, anytime I've drawn the design had always changed.

Hmm I have no idea probably more mad max to be honest. It's gonna be a bit nuts and I've no idea what I'm doing for a windscreen or bonnet yet.

Windscreen will probably end up being perspex non scratch stuff but the real difficulties will be that the cage was shaped for the original which got scrapped when I moved because I had no way to travel it with all the other stuff & couldn't afford another trip at the time.

I'm sure it can be worked out. What's the scrap car scene like over there. Spares galore or will you be needing us lot to round up spares and bring em over. Another Nissan road trip! :naughty

 

[melissachels]

Lol there's plenty of terrano's, they're all hiding here lol haven't tried for scrap yet because I haven't needed to, but a Nissan road trip I wouldn't object to
