Wheels are staying gold lol a lot at knightcon commented how nice they looked! And here are some pics of Rebecca Holden who played April on the show in and on my Kitt :)
He he the dash really is the biggest piece of the puzzle. The pmd seats will be along too in a few weeks. They need recovering but at least I will have some!!
I know it ruins the lines doesn't it :( you can get a retractable plate holder from the states that can be controlled from a button in the car but its expensive! Worth it though for shows and the such!
Forgot to mention my good friend now has a Kitt replica too, was totally standard when he got it but nw has a nose and scanner :) here are some piccies!!
Outside is 99% there bar the slightly incorrect wheels but not paying £2000 for turbocasts when I have perfectly good turbofins that look virtually identical :) and the dash makes the car tbh
Well........been offered a fully built season 2 dash, top spec, £2500.....and I can't bloody get it. Working part time only at the moment, can't get a loan, nobody to borrow off :( that dash is worth £1000 more than that its so devastating its untrue. :(
Finally installed my complete upper console yesterday (pics to follow) and my new engine and shocks is now collected from Cornwall on Wednesday (that was a long trip ther and back in a day!) so that needs cleaning up and fitting now. It kinda leaked in the van though on the way back ha ha ooooops
Still trying to find the time to drive the 300+ miles to go get his new "heart transplant" from down in Cornwall, but he's running, maybe not perfectly at the moment but he's fine for local shows and cruises so at least he's not just locked away anymore! Hopefully gonna go get the engine and new...
The beetle developed huge engine issues too sadly so it has been replaced by a beautiful 91 toyota celica convertible. 100x rarer than the beetle and a LOT more comfortable and reliable ;)
Very very very nice :) is that the hardtop or the t/top? Hardtop has its bonuses as wont bloody leak ha ha ha!!!
That car is SCREAMING out for KR conversion! Cowl hood, turbo casts with caps! You have all the ridiculously rare original parts on there already just need to dye the interior...
Thank you very much for the kind words mate :) it has indeed been a mammoth effort lmao
Right......carbs. The guys at KIRAD who are pretty much supplying ALL my KR parts, have repeatedly told me that the edelbrock carbs are pretty crap and throw themselves out at the slightest thing. They have...
I won't be attending. Cars dead. It's got a fuel leak somewhere as you get high on fumes whenever you drive it!!! No time to fix it either so that's me royally fucked in the arse hole.
As requested more beetle pics! Gave it a wash and wax today, looks a lot better clean lmao! Still got some rust spots i need to get around to painting/touching up...... i just dont have the motivation tbh! Still got KITT sat waiting for new engine and shocks, with his poor paint job, cryin out...
