Not exactly the rapier like speed of the original, but at least the thing works.

Also is your Mrs a midget, or was she sat on the floor?

 

[Rob]

Who the hell were this bodyshop????

Not only have they done a pony job of spraying it, but they've ruined some wiring too? How did they manage this?

Can you get some HD pics of the body work???

Someone like Gally should be able to comment on whether it's acceptable or fixable??

Ha ha no she's not it's just a massive massive car ha ha, even I look small sat in it
And she was terrified of crashing it so didn't dare floor it!

[Knight_Rider]

[leeroybrown]

I love this car.

[DaveDreads]

Jesus, didn't realise how much of a wide arsed b*tch it is, it'll never fit in your garage will it?

[Knight_Rider]

Just waiting for my electronics to come back and need to pick up the seats and then the dash can go in

 

[g.cameron]

Looks epic. Getting there now.

There is a guy who has one in Dumbarton (just outside Glasgow) which I pass everyday on my way to work.
He's just primered it in his driveway, for at least the second time, as the paintwork was terrible, I could even tell just by driving by.
It rained shortly after he had done this and there is patches of black showing through the primer again already..


Oh, and where did you get the EDF energy guy/thing? I want to get one for the mother.. She has this strange liking to him/it..

 

[Knight_Rider]

eBay mate. Just over a tenner!

 

[Knight_Rider]

 

[DaveDreads]

Bit of a come down from the posh truck and clunge mechanic he had in the show,
but he looks happy in there with all the half used tins of paint.

Would you ever consider a re-spray far in the future to convert it into KARR?
I bet you'd have the only one in the country.

Although I don't remember it being half white, I thought it was exactly the same as KITT?

It was two tone grey/black - and looked shat.

I wonder if the OP is going to re-create portable KITT in the ghetto blaster when the body was being repaired? or even add the super pursuit bodykit from season 3?

 

[DaveDreads]

Super Pursuit mode was sh*t I never liked it,
iirc it was only introduced due to poor ratings in an attempt to revamp the show.

I don't remember the ghetto blaster KITT. lol

 

[Knight_Rider]

KARR isn't as rare as ya might think actually there's a few guys who have made a KITT then decided to buy another and make KARR lol. wish I could afford to ha ha!
And nah I hated SPM kitt it looked stupid with those bloody air brakes ha ha!

 

[Donny_Dog]

Everyone needs an April in their garage though. She was smokin.
Many a child hood bashing was had.

[Russ_16v]

looks like it's coming together slowly mate! Will be good once the dash is done, though at least if the bosywork is finished it will look like KITT to 80% of the general public lol

 

[Knight_Rider]

Yeah now it's all externally done the interior is more for my indulgence ha ha driving him around the stares you get are amazing ha ha

 

[Russ_16v]

I bet! When I was in Florida last October I saw a replica* - looked just awesome driving past

Spoiler

* Well I say a replica, I didn't see anyone driving it :S

 

[Knight_Rider]

Good polish and he looks tonnes better!!!

 

[TimR26]

Looks much better now

 

[dannycivic02]

Looks really nice, could of done the tyres though.

 

[Knight_Rider]

Tyres are going on tuesday as none are air tight ha ha! Didn't wanna waste the tyre shine ha ha

 

[Knight_Rider]

 

[STICKER TWONK]

Looks ace! Hope your neighbours aren't coonts though for no tax on a public road lol

 

[Rob]

Been machined polished? Still look a little dull, certainly not deep, but that could be your camera skills... :rasp:

Get those wheels/tyres done and the outside will look lovely!

 

[DaveDreads]

Looking the part now mate.
When will the bowling ball wheels be ready to go on?
