What would you do if you reallllly want a Mad Max Interceptor but live in Brittan and can't get your hands on a Falcon Coupe? What else but use a Vauxhall Firenza as a base...



Or if you realllly want a pick up, but can only afford a Volvo?

Come to think of it, yeah it was dark blue. Parked at Charlie's Diner brighton right near the door.

Didn't look too bad, just threw me as there I was looking down the side of a LWB thinking "nice, I'm thinking of one of them myself" then when I saw the front I was like "WTF I thought I was looking at a LWB not an XR?"

Yeah that's me, Its there 6 nights a week! Car had front end damage when I bought it so it all needed replacing anyway, have plans on doing a galaxie mock up and it didn't cost me any extra for the front over the STD and figured it would save me $$ on lights if I ever get round to doing it later on.

You have to give him points for effort, though.

For those with time to read, these are classic fails:

- Spanish tuning house – have to see the clutch to believe it
http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=224101


- The dude who put octane booster in his bike
http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=226570


- Don’t have the link (it’s a real old thread). I know its not car related, but the short story is a body builder wanted some advice on how to inject some roids. “Just put it in your ass” was the response. This guy was complaining that he needed help, was hurting real bad, and ultimately that he couldn’t ********** properly. They found that he was getting a mate to inject direct into the ring – big time fail……….

I don't know why a person would post an unfinished car as a fail, make no sense. That shape magna actually didn't look too bad...

Read back to the post that I originally posted the pic up bud. Mabey it might makes some sense to you then.

And yes to the others, the paint was complete as shown here



But I decided the bonnet looked to plain so I'm in the middle of adding this...



And yes it will have the go to match the show as seen here
