  1. Does anyone have some good pics of above the headlights, the front screen trim and rear quarters for a 63 fury. I'm working on one at the moment but there are damaged areas on some of the trim, a large ridge below the side windows and the trim around the front and rear screens is damaged or very faint so pics of these areas would be very helpful. My searches haven't given me any decent enough pics of the areas i need
  2. now they're all silver they look much better,
  3. I remember the cops having the t5 version of these during the 90s, when they got to the end of their service life and went to auction they were one of the few ex cop cars that held a decent amount of their value and were known to give ford cosworth drivers a fright when they couldn't shake them off. There was one rebuilt on wheeler dealers last season
  4. Awesome and very cool to see one done in a more modern style
  5. Very cool, its a good mix of classic British and 90s Japanese style and obviously styled after their rx7. Personally I like this one more than the one foose did on overhaulin
  6. Found out the local vintage club used my photos for their annual video again this year after the professional they hired ended up being too poor to use. They asked what i'd like for it and i said free entry cos I'm just happy to help them out. I go every year and take pics of everything anyway. I dont know why they keep hiring people to do it, if they think my pics are good enough they're welcome to use them since they raise a lot for local charities from each show
  7. Its just wire, try a farmer for extra fence wire or a contractor. Wire ties from larger packages work too. I dont think you'll want enough to buy a roll
  8. The wheels look ok to me but smaller front tyres would look better in my opinion
  9. When you do yours, fit the front glass after the the other glass, it wont stay in if done first due to how good the fit is
  10. The back is sitting lower now, I had to remove the exhaust tips so they didn't get lost and it dropped enough to keep me fairly happy without cutting anything.
  11. Nice work on the arches, they should look sweet with those wiiiiide wheels. Now I need to find milliput to try. Quick question about it, can it be used to make things like bumpers that dont have support behind the milliput?
  12. Just like to add to this that the service is great from them. I broke a wheel this morning through my own stupidity and dimitry offered me a relacement free with another set of wheels so the postage isn't too bad. I was going to buy more wheels anyway so its no problem. Highly commended for quality and service
  13. That might work, and less likely to show since its hidden by the pillars. Easy touch up too on an all black interior. Going to try that now, thanks guys
  14. I'm thinking I'd like to get another of these to do a modern version of the one from that autobiography tv show with the funny story and fake sponsors. Now I've built the tamiya part once I wont be so worried about cutting it up to get it low either
  15. I dont think it is mate, theres only about 1mm actually under the body top and bottom and near nothing at the sides so I'd be concerned about the glass coming out. I might just fit the stock tyres so the arches are filled more but that will raise it more. I'll probably just have to live with it.
  16. Sweet colours, both wheel colour options look good to me
  17. My own fault, it was a little tight and I pushed the rim instead of the centre. I'm not too upset now, Dimitry from ucsp offered me another single wheel and since I am going to buy more of his wheels anyway he is giving me it free with them. Until them its on one stock wheel as i want it finished for friday for my club comp.
  18. Sweet, thanks for the pics. I'll need to get one too
  19. It was nearly finished
  20. Well that didn't go as planned. Fitting the glass has also raised the rear a lot more than the thickness of the glass so does anyone have a suggestion for getting it down a bit?
  21. Just wondering what this is, I cant make out the grille badge and I've never seen one of these before. Is it a converted truck or even american?
  22. Sweet, these are great fun in the snow
  23. Cool looking car, its interesting to see how much of it toyota seem to have copied for the mk2/chaser model from the 70s
