Here comes the hate...random shoot with the wife

Translates to hammered arches and big ass spacers?

[Digit]

Nope just the 20mm adapters. Rear hubs have been machined with a plate welded on. Onto the plate bolts a spacer that includes the standard bearing spindle. Driveshafts have been lengthened to suit. Alot of work but didnt want big ass spacers hanging off the wheel bearings. Arches aren,t that bad just rolled with a slight flare. Fronts are knackerd though due to previous owners aforementioned crash.

[Duke137]

High tech stuff, you got any pics of the rear end mods?

How did you lengthen the drive-shafts?

[JF008]

Nice stuff

[Digit]

Dont do much pics tbh. My phone doesnt even have a camera lol. The shafts were cut in a lathe with a sleeve made up to the required length then welded back together.

[Kos]

so all this custom work gone into a car that looks like shit, because

I would love it to look all pretty and shiny but then if it did I would probably think twice about clutch kicking it into a corner at 60mph which is why I built the car in the first place.

so, whats going to happen when you go into a wall? all your hard custom fabrication work (which you dont photograph) gets demolished, thats what lol

[E30BeemerLad]

Haterzzzzzz

[Digit]

Can always fabricate anything Ive done on the car again dude Thats the good thing about doing it yourself...

[bmwbmwbmw]

cars are shit, photos are shit, no one is hating but just stating the obvious

+1

[ImysE30]

Skillz innit, looking phat

[Digit]

Not sure if taking the piss like most people but cheers man! lol

[DanThe]

Imy has similar levels of taste and imagination, he is deadly serious

[ImysE30]

Any more pics of the Merc?

[gaszman]

looks good a lot of time and effort to get the car your way . nice sweet ride


just coz it aint standard a lot of haters maybe they should except the cars not theres and you have it the way you like it . thats whats wrong with this forum to many people think they know best .

[DanThe]

Oh its an exception all right

[magpie]

i hope you have a shit load of sumps .

[Digit]

Made my own all steel sump mate after killing 3 lol
Subframe is plated too along with the chassis rails

[FinalD]

Can't be bothered to read the whole thread but...

trying the old school way of not using Auto mode! Patience needed!

Get her to stick with auto focus, manual everything else is fine. It is very rare that any of the photograpgers I know uses manual focus, especially when shooting cars.

BOOOM!! Digit has an answer to everything, its like he knew what everyone was going to say, HOW DOES HE DO IT?? It's as if the same sh1tty jokes are being replayed constantly...

Give the guy a break, he's built his car for purpose, not just cut the springs on a weighbridge dodger and called it a skidder.

Yeaa the car is a bit of a dog to look at in most peoples eyes, but he tried mixing it up and being unique by sanding back the matt paint in certain places, plus he's put alot of wrench time in it. If this was at a show it would defo attract a bit of attention, and i bet it looks like a right weapon drifting around on a track.

BUT the camera skills are a different kettle of fish, WTF! i thought my eye sight was going when looking at some of them

[Gert_8]

His misses is ok...

Program (P) mode works better in most cases than Auto.

[Digit]

Thanks guys!
Especially Kangman...the dude gets it! lol
Mrs has taken tips onboard too guys! Better pics next time hopefully

Because some people choose not to like cars that differ its called hating, much like these Eamos (and I can probably guess right the OP's GF is an eamo) who get laughed at, accuse us of hate crimes when we take the piss out of them

But if you choose to be different you have to accept the flack that comes with it. I've been called a chav sov wearing yob, but I never went running to the police. I've been called an OEM wanker but I don't accuse other members of hating

These alternative life style nobs and their cars cant handle honesty

[Rav335uk]

Don't forget, you've also been called a "C U N T"

[DanThe]

Kos is a self confessed c u n t

[Digit]

Haha for the record its emo dude and no the two of us aren't emos lol
I accept the shit that comes with being individual and put it down to narrow minded pricks that are too set in their ways to appreciate anything they dont understand
Like Ive said before if you dont like something why go out of your way to make a retarded comment for no reason? Oh wait because your behind a keyboard thats why!

[rh306]

More detail on that Audi 100ls please, where did the OP find it, uber rare chariot that

[FinalD]

Indeed. Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority are what most of my photographer friends use....I actually can't get on with either of those modes though (not a clue why) so use manual with auto focus. Having something like 9 focus points to pick from is quite handy.


Some of the photos in the OP could be great if they were in focus.

+1 cool ride,

He got it of Steve Denton, so he certainly didn't build it

Just to clarify, having a car that looks like a bears 4rse and is lower than a snakes c0ck is not unique, ground breaking and it definately does not make you individual.

According to a mate who is a shrink,what it does do is confirm that you have self worth issues , are an attention whore and have a tiny pecker !

[Digit]

Haha didnt get it off Uncle Steve. Have however re-done the complete air ride and suspension setup aswell as a full engine rebuild to the original spec. Enough OEM shit there for you?
