I wanted to keep this thread seperate to keep the Iv written off my chevette one for comments and info on that. So hears my temp ride, 1256 factory standard, just on some super low springs, i painted the steels and matt blacked the bonnet. check out the marker pen retro rides logos on the boot and rear quarters. it was £170 with a full tank of petrol and tax and MOT till August! I'm thinking if i cant get any new panels for the red one i will cut this up as the front panel is mint and the wings are pretty good. before (as i picked it up) rat looked oh and i put fluffy dice in it! I'm gonna do a checkered roof soon as well.

That's a cool ride! Are those off-the-shelf springs or is there a grinder involved? Do the x-wires fit on it?

How did a shove-it end up on a 'B' plate ........ ??

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.

Thats super cool! don't rip it up, it looks too good for that. Be patient, you're bound to stumble across someone who's breaking one that you can rob the wings etc off. Seems a shame to destroy another one when it need not be the case. These guys: www.oldpanels.comAre listing N/S front wings and inner frt panels for a start.

Hotwire, you would seriously want it on display at Swansea? Of course, its a retro mobile! ,.. You could stick pictures of your other shove-it in the window,.. saying something like "Before" "After"
