Title: Getting there
Post by: utey on May 13, 2004, 01:38:21 PM
A bit more work to do. Need some better badges, a front seat and  some intterior trim.
These forums have  been a great help.
Thanks

Nick

Nick,
Great looking wagon. Being an Essendon supporter I can't help but lurv the colours.
If your seat's buggered make it a priority for the next job to do. That way you'll really enjoy your cruisin'.
cheers,
Leigh

Really good looking wagon Nick, and an unusual colour scheme. Is it as per the ID plate?

By the sound of it you don't have that much work to finish - your at least on the downhill run to completion.

I hope to see you at next years Nats - the more wagon's the BETTER  ;D

Cheers,

Craig.

Thanks guys hope it stays that way, its an every day driver.
Great concept Harko
Craig original colours 2 tone grey but went with the maroon and black to match the interior trim.
Any ideas where I can get or what i can use for the inner rear quarter panels. Tried some MDF? some time ago and it wasnt flexible enough and might have been to thick.
Any ideas
Nick

Nick,

You should try trim board. If you wet it slightly you could easily bend it to shape. Paint it with some vinyl paint and it should do the trick. I bought some last year for about $20.00 or so for a 2m x 1 metre sheet. Still got heaps left, but you're a bit far away!!

Cheers,

Craig.

Hey Harko,

Like the concept... Getting the rear window down could be tricky.  ;D

PS Utey, take Stinky's tip of replacing  %20  in the pic address with a space and your photo should post, see post in general section.

G'day all...
Everyone seemed to be photoshop-ing poor old Nick's FC wagon.... so I thought I might join in... ;D
Going back to Leigh's original point about the Essendon colours, when you owned the "Swan-mobile" Leigh, were you at all tempted to splash a bit of black paint over the white...?  ;D

Nice pic Les.
No.... black paint never crossed my mind  when I had the swan-mobile - there's nuthin wrong with the Swanees colours. I even considered a bit more red tho' after seeing this beastie.
