Wessie Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 love it even a couple of sneeky peeks of me in the photos love petrolhead01's 100e
petrolhead01 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Another great issue with some fantasic cars once again and I especially liked the Mk3 Capri feature The 100e was amazing but I culdn't understand with so much attention to detail paid to it why it still had rust patches on it A good read though the body work is as i bought it and with all the development work done on the car i wasnt prepared to paint it incase anything needed changing but as it happens everything is ok , so i will know give the whole car a full paint including the bits i have already done !!! the last 2 months have been a test bed to try everything out!! as you said there is alot of detail and that is how i do things , cant see the point in painting it twice!! maybe im just fussy but this is the second time the whole car has been complete cos i fully built it before painting and detailing it to make 100% sure that once the paint was laid on the assembly would be quick and easy without any problems!!!!!!!!!
MightySprocket Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Yes, another cracking issue chaps, well done & thanks very much Ben B & Ben M for featuring my car, I'm well pleased with the feature and making the front cover especially the "well hung" bit LOL love the 100E too Cheers Steve lovin the car Steve, we'll have to get together som time, not far from you (Shavington A500). I see Brooky built your engine, what are his prices like, doe's he build road spec pinto's too?
Rude Dog Posted February 5, 2007 Report Posted February 5, 2007 the body work is as i bought it and with all the development work done on the car i wasnt prepared to paint it incase anything needed changing but as it happens everything is ok , so i will know give the whole car a full paint including the bits i have already done !!! the last 2 months have been a test bed to try everything out!! as you said there is alot of detail and that is how i do things , cant see the point in painting it twice!!maybe im just fussy but this is the second time the whole car has been complete cos i fully built it before painting and detailing it to make 100% sure that once the paint was laid on the assembly would be quick and easy without any problems!!!!!!!!! That sounds well thought out and logical. Should be a total jawdropper when its finished

Nice mk1 you have btw! Cheers Steve

petespops Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 Great issue Regarding the 4 dr mk1, what are the wheels that have been fitted to the computer generated piccie, all it says that they are Oz, but what type? I think they look really good, bit like the old "Cosmic's" of the 70's Anyway, keep up the good work, love the 100E, some nice touches. Pete
