Title: Connies latest accessory Post by: Plainy Janie on September 16, 2007, 06:34:42 PM After helping out a friend recently by fitting an exhaust box, Dave was paid back rather handsomely with a box of bits and.......a steel sunvisor this week. As you can imagine it was fitted as soon as we got home. What a difference it makes, even I don't squint in the sun anymore. In the box of bits was a towbar which apparently is for my consul ...... is my female sense telling me something?

Looks great ;D Title: Re: Connies latest accessory Post by: Manky Monkey on September 16, 2007, 11:00:04 PM How about some home-made fins? :D
Title: Re: Connies latest accessory Post by: Manky Monkey on September 16, 2007, 11:01:15 PM Or slamming it to the deck, de-chroming it & bunging in a slightly bigger motor?
Title: Re: Connies latest accessory Post by: BikerGran on September 17, 2007, 02:09:03 PM I spose the fins would be ok if they didn't look like they were stuck on with superglue..........
Title: Re: Connies latest accessory Post by: Plainy Janie on September 23, 2007, 07:34:22 AM Exactly bikerGran. Just what I thought.
Unfortunately for you custom-isers out there, I like things to be left original, but now the visor is on Connie (Daves consul), he's beginning to like the idea of cosmetically customising her. As he's always been into the hot rod/custom car scene, and now he has his licence under his belt, well there seems no stopping him! Title: Re: Connies latest accessory Post by: Manky Monkey on September 23, 2007, 07:47:22 AM Woo hoo! When he puts the V8 in, can I have the old motor for my Pop? It'll save me rebuilding the spare. ;D
How'd the welding practice go yesterday Janie? Title: Re: Connies latest accessory Post by: Plainy Janie on September 23, 2007, 07:59:15 AM piccies to be posted shortly - to say I'm impressed is an understatement - I'm chuffed to bits for him
Title: Re: Connies latest accessory Post by: Manky Monkey on September 23, 2007, 08:02:20 AM That's great -so I don't need to weld the other sill on Betty Blue then?
Title: Re: Connies latest accessory Post by: Plainy Janie on September 23, 2007, 04:20:54 PM That's the idea, but whether Daves welding will be up to it.
Title: Re: Connies latest accessory Post by: Manky Monkey on September 23, 2007, 04:25:23 PM Probably a damn sight tidier than the lousy job I made of the other side. If his side turns out better I'll claim it was mine!
