oh no not gonna bomb the rack i've got the roof rack off the polo in the pics, it wants re-varnishing and the metalwork wants re-painting. i wanted the contrast. With the inside im chasing a beige interior, looks like new but will contrast the sticker work inside.

right this is my last day of skyving off work with a terrible sickness so i put it to good use  :laugh:





as you can see it was rusting and the wood was bleeched...







im not going to fit it till it's mot'd so i just lay it ontop of the current roofrack just to give an idea of how it will look



back to work tomorrow, hopefully will be able to keep the momentum going. Got a auto electrician coming next to get it working. then mot and off to baz's for some fine tuning.

thanks for reading. ian

argh! I was gonna suggest with that theme, but with a chrome roof runners and wood, then get some retro wheels and even try and get more bright work on her like the mirrors, door handles and bumpers!
The colour is the key on yours and the fact you have early wing mirrors mounted up the door line!

i've always wanted to build one using copper plumbing pipe, sadly don't have the know how to pull it off. Cheers for the feedback guys. It's been lovely and warm here and sods law it been pi$$ing it down all day the day before the clear vinyl arrives to seal it all and make it weather proof. Got my work cut out for me this weekend! Really motivated to get it sorted by run to the sun now. ROLL ON SUMMER!

quick update, works gone completly mental, did 75 hours last week so not much time to play with the car, however it does mean theres cash to throw at it now! So, Sunday i emptied the car out, there was a pile in every footwell of backing paper from the stickers but once it was tidy there was excelent news, it apears i've solved the leak it had so no swimming pool! New fusebox has arrived and with any luck come the weekend it'll go! Still can decide on rims though!

Does anyone have any idea what these have been made from???



pics and frolics at the weekend!

They look like early mk2 CL rims that have been banded.
