well today was terrible went to 3 differant car boot sales and got a huge total of 1 car which was a crappy no name volvo thingy (wanted it just to anniahlate!)

on a brighter note

mookie that opel can be yours for a granada but the only problem is im skint at the moment so will have to sort it out in the coming weeks......

also post up some pics of what else your not wanting and ill see what i can sort out in trade/ money wise

ive got a mercades limo which i found a couple nights ago but its been painted red so ive stripped it (cut the interior down) removed the windows and left it as it is any one interested in that?

can i make a suggestion to make it look "more real" if ut take off the metal from the base behind the wheels then it dosent look so out of place mroe like its crumpled into the inside of the car and then just gently bend the other rear quater round

also add scratches on parts that would ahve been hit / had impact at any point in the race like most of the rear would be scratched up possibly some down the sides and a few on the front?

My new project: rescuing this Crown :o

Posted Image

Plan on giving it new sills and pillars, straightening the body out and of course giving it a new door :D it's a lot of work but if I can salvage it it'll make a great model

Tomicas are available over here, but mainly at bootsales - I've found all my Tomicas bar a couple at boot sales. They made some great models for bangering, classic nissans, etc. The Crown is shaping up nicely, I disassembled it, reshaped some parts (almost breaking it horribly in the process :rolleyes: ) and glued the sills back onto the front. Biggest problem will be making a door, though as some may remember I had to make 4 doors for my Mercedes limo banger!

i well want one of them! for a door why not try and find an xj6 with opening doors or an old rolls royce model with opening doors as i belive one of the 2 would be very similar

will the car be "damaged" or just painted up? if its gunna be damaged then if the new door dosent fit correctly then just dent it so its caved it ect

Yeah I'll be adding some B pillars, though I could do it as Pob's pillarless Nissan Laurel raced last year?

Could these be 4 of my old cars?

Also have you noticed there are now 2 different request a banger items on there now! Wonder whether I should bother with one :lol:
