Rusty's build (Hero thread related) VERY pic heavy
- Thread starter Turkish
- Start date
Clio 182ff
The contrasts are intriguing and at times simply stunning...however my first thought was this:
Derelicte...lol
Derelicte...lol
Completely moritifed for him, but surely people must know Rusty can't die.
Regardless of what you think of the design choices, the work and effort put into it all has been comletely off the scale.
Everyone who likes cars should read that build thread.

LOL. Fair play for trying, but end product looked like a 5 year old had done it.
Exactly. Know your limits.
I mean, I got a GCSE in Art but I wouldn't go trying to respray a f**king car.

Was just going to update this!
I hope that video shows people why this car is awesome. Not only will it just not go away but it really gives an inside to the fabrication that's gone into it, it's art in it's own right imo. Well, to someone who appreciates the difficulties that must be involved in creating such a beast it is art anyway.

Welding, hammers, and angle grinders. My kind of video.
The less said about my TIG the better. MIG however doesn't take long to grasp.
I wouldn't trust you with a soldering iron let alone welding. X

LOL b*****d!
Can't believe I haven't seen that car before!
I think that is possibly the best build thread I've ever seen, that is absolutely fantastic!
i thought tig was easier than mig. i find welding the thin pannels a royal cnut.
awesome car. a fav of mine

UPDATE.
Excited to see what he's been stock piling and to see how it ends up.
Hero car.
It's been two years since a garage fire took something very near and dear to me. In a flash, my closest friend was gone, left in the form of warped and tarnished steel. Other cars have come and gone, but none have managed to fill the void Rusty Slammington has left. It's been a year and a half since I've even laid eyes on him; 2000 miles separate us as he lies under a tarp in the driveway of my parents' house, deep in the woods of Middle Tennessee, begging to be brought back to life. I'm asked on a daily basis: "Is he coming back?" "When are you going to work on Rusty again?" Some have insisted that I stop wasting time on other cars - that in some ways this car is more important than anything else I could be doing. And of course, perhaps most enjoyable, there are those whom resent the fact that his return is inevitable. And now the build begins.
In just two weeks, I'll be making the trip from Tennessee to California with Rusty in tow. However, while I haven't been able to put my hands on him in quite a long time, he's been anything but neglected. Over the past two years I've stocked away parts, one at a time: everything from the driveline to the running gear - progress can be measured by more than physical labor. While his return is still a long way off, it's now closer than ever. In a matter of days, he'll be back under the knife once again, and in due time, he will return - bigger and better than ever before.
But for now, I wait patiently. A reunion is coming, my best friend and I. We'll do what we do best: we'll push the bar in one form or another, and as he's always done, he'll be sure to inspire, be it with excitement or detest. But one thing is for sure: it takes more than fire to kill a car.
