Re: Old Shite
I wanted to sya "Resto-Rat", but Armand's idea is cool too!!
So WTF is Resto Rat? My idea of a Mix between Rat and Resto cal. Body just like it is. Uphostery something like Armand said.... bare-stuff.... Bling PAINTED wheels. ie Red center and white "body" of the wheels. Some crome bumpers WITH natural rust. Dropped and a nice motor in it....

Hloni, I'll keep you in mind if Mrs OldRed strips her "moer" and decides to throw me and the Ghia's out.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

Re: Old Shite
I was thinking about your car a few times today.... You should paint some old school HotRod flames on it in Red Oxide primer, have the seats stripped down to springs etc with a foam pad for your butt and back. Dropped suspension load stinger-type exhaust and some Red Oxide-and-White rims....... and just roll it like that

Re: Old Shite
Awesome Patina
Just get rid of the rats or bats, stick a working four pot in it with a hole in the exhaust, lower it a tad and off you go !

Re: Old Shite
Okay lads.
It's about time I updated this thread again. Not a lot has happened since last time but at least Old Shite has a new coat of flat black primer and is currently being brought back to a drivable condition. In the meantime I've been gathering a few parts with these being the pride and joy of the collection...

Re: Old Shite
Nah, it's just an incorrectly set white balance on the camera but gold would have been cool.

Re: Old Shite
So Lads and Ladies,
It's been a quiet couple of years on the posting front - luckily the Old Shite project has been chugging along quietly in the background despite a new career opportunity that has kept me away from home far more frequently than I would have liked.
First of all, apologies for no progress shots...
Secondly, this is where we are at present:
We're close to being done but its the small things that take the most time, isn't it?
I promised this as a Matric farewell ride to the son of a friend, so at least I'm forced to have it done by September. Remember, it's a work in progress, so please excuse missing trim, loose trim, the scratch the kids put on the door, etc.
