How modding used to be done
« on: 06 May 2012, 10:48 »
Read this on another Forum & thought I would post the same link on here,

Brought back some really good memories of buying my first car & wanting to mod it tlike these were done

Real blast from the past for some of us on here, Some of the younger ones will probably look at the thread & think WTF were they thinking  :shocked:

80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

I miss them days  :cry:

you could do many/any mod without upsetting the dvla (or whoever!) and bits were much easier to get (scrapyards were everywhere and full....It was dangerous climbing onto the top of 3 badly stacked cars to unbolt some bits but that was part of the fun!), and that's the only time I owned a vauxhall and it gave me some street cred! (1986 Cavalier SRi with massive alpine stickers on it!!)

oh and the red mk1 escort shown on them pages... I remember that being built and selling some of the bits that were fitted to it!  :cool:
