Munky your car needs a mat black single wiper up front

No really!

I think it would look more

Funny you should say that, I was thinking about it while I was masking up the scuttle panel.

Never really been a fan of the single wiper thing as normally they're slightly off centre, but the e30 wiper hole would line up perfectly.

Yup I reckon its worth a go... Get you self a 'Citroen Picasso' rear wiper arm.
Slightly longer blade and stick one of those wind deflectors. Job done

Not to everyones taste but 'Kinda of menacing' etc

IS bib would look really good... Whats that one that looks similar but is lower?

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Nice effort mate, the stripe makes it.

Look forward to seeing it in Newquay.

A lot of effort to whore your way to within 30 posts of me!!

Photography looks great.

[OBs]

Haven't really thought about how it would look on a saloon... could look pretty damn cool

Ive got a *Cough Vauxhall mag with a 2.0 turbo Viva Firenza(Sp) in mat black 1/4 mile shlaaaaaaaaaag

Andy something? I think anyone know it?

[bazman]

Looks mean Munky, are you going to paint Benjy's wheels then? Whats next? Black leather interior?

Don't you have to do something to the arm from the motor to the wiper too? to make it do a 170 degree sweep instead of about 100 as standard...

No idea what the other bib is. to be honest I dont think I can go much lower than an IS one.

Nathan - 30!! I hadnt noticed. Fiver says you whore it back up to 80 before I get anywhere near close.

Baz - Yup, the centre's will be sprayed matt black and the dish either gloss or satin black. I'm not a fan of leather, hot and sticky in the summer, cold in the winter and no grip when chucking the car about. Some sport seats trimmed in black will do nicely though.

[CHRISP]

Looking mean mate

[munky30]

I want an IS spoiler... and se skirts, possibly a breyton rear valance too, just to bring it all a bit lower.

you can borrow both of mine if you wanna make some moulds for some replicas...

in exchange for helping me 'rat' my saloon

Dunno if I'm up to making body parts... They're not too pricey anyway, someone offered me a set of SE skirts but I cant remember who it was and the pm's been deleted IS lip seems to be harder to come by but I'm in no rush, more important things to do atm.

I'll help do your car in exchange for the petrol to get to you and back, a pack of fags and a bottle of wine for when I get home.

sounds good, depends how long it takes me to sort out the rusty bits first. will get back to you on that,

i fancy scaring old ladies

[munky30]

Andy K's Drop snout

Now thats rat look.

I dont think I have the commitment to go for the full rat look, rust and all... though I did decide against sorting my dents.

I'm going for semi-rat

[karldan]

ive got a set of se skirts u can have i was going 2 cob them

[tailoutcharlie]

I'm going for semi-rat

early morning rat

[OBs]

Yup he never washes it... Every time he does he loses his gear box

Ace though aint it

As for the 'Single wiper' We just welded a extra... Say an inch on to the 'Banana'y bit' linkage (On Nova's anyway)

[benjy]

Yup he never washes it... Every time he does he loses his gear box

I remember readin that mag feature.....uber-cool

Crappy Ford T5 box

He he

Sorry Munkster to go off topic slightly!

Get some 'Hoosiers' at the rear (Is that there name?)

[bigpimpin]

looks proper evil munky, I like!

[munky30]

Obs - re the wiper... see you've mentioned the dreaded welder again... Honestly... things/people/buildings will burn if I'm let loose with a welder.

Will definitely look into it once the rest is done though.

Oh and its Hoosier's. They only look good with white writing on them, 15" wide in a tubbed rear end. In a car that lifts the front wheels when it launches

I seem to remember reading about that rat rod in street machine. The gearbox going every time he washes it rings a bell.

Karldan - How much?

[tailoutcharlie]

look what you made me do

i can see this getting out of control

[munky30]

Looks good Wheels need to be black too.

If only there was a way to have matt finished windows... I wonder if I could get mine etched and stained black

[OBs]

Obs - re the wiper... see you've mentioned the dreaded welder again...

Again the 'Tramp weld' way I suggested would work... two nut and bolts top and bottom done!

Pro-street.... street as in street legal

[e30kev]

munky mate, your a total star man, that car is satan on wheels. honestly pal big big respect.
i hope you dont mind but ive sent a couple of pictures of your car to a mate of mine ( who owns a nissan 200sx s13 ) and he is totally stunned at how cool the matt black looks, he is definitely getting shot of his car now to fund an e30 project.

[JohnnyThunders]

2 words - Mad Max

I love it, very original. Anarchic, and individual.

[munky30]

Dont mind at all. I have a thing for s-body's... I fookin hate them lol.

Too many rich kids buy them, spunk 10 grand on mods and then think they're the only car you can drift properly in. If you go on driftworks I'd say 90% of people on there drive bloody silvia's.

So to hear that my car has inspired someone to get shot of theirs and get an e30 pleases me greatly

[tailoutcharlie]

right new challenge, get 30% of the zone, matt black in one year, starting frommmmmmmmmmm



now!





you can do it munky

[munky30]

Going by membership figures that would mean about 5000 matt black e30's...

Piece of cake.

My own private army (of darkness )

[maxfield]

I'll do it with a track slag

[tailoutcharlie]

I'll do it with a track slag

my car may as well be a track slag the amount of bloody dents in it

[Hath]

love it mines joinging the darkside soon ay munky..

[tailoutcharlie]

'let the hate flow through you' embrace the dark side!

[e30kev]

im gonnae do a photoshop of my car to see what it'll look like as in the not too distant future ive got some rust to fix and it'll need spraying so you might have another recruit joining the matt black army on the way!!!

[tailoutcharlie]

clear your schedule mae, i spent bloody agaes doin that to mine, but then again i havent used photoshop since graduating...four years ago

[munky30]

I'm fairly handy at photochopping but didnt even bother trying to turn gloss into matt.

If you have bodywork to do I cant recommend matt black highly enough. Cheap, effective, and easy to do.

Eventually I want a touring with a diamantschwartz bottom and cosmos black from the doorhandles up... but that costs money and I dont know if this shell is worth doing it to yet, I may well kill it before I can afford a proper respray.

But as a semi-temporary fix I'm very pleased with the matt black. I'm actually tempted to get it done this colour by a pro instead of the two tone... or maybe have a cosmos/matt black two tone...

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Kill the tramp tourer and eventually find a new victim to do the 2 tone treatment to. That way all the good morsels on trampy can be transfered over to the new shell.

[munky30]

I think that will be the inevitable eventuality.

After a few more little touches to this one I plan on spending the forseeable future firstly making the engine run right, and secondly making it more powerful.

By that time the shell will probably be in pieces and I can swap any choice morsels over to a new shiny shell.
