Im obviously not suggesting we start making cars look like they did in the 80s, or that posting loads of pictures here of them is what I want to see, just that even in cars like that I can see things i can adapt to be cool now and therefore Ugly things can be of interest! _________________ Back to top Etienne Hoodrider Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2829 Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 5:49 pm    Post subject: Exactly, that's right! _________________ www.super2cv.com Back to top Shedspeed Dropped Joined: 13 Jul 2007 Posts: 446 Location: kent, England Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 5:59 pm    Post subject: Safe.

If it's just to show ugly things there is no interest. And only real custom from 80s. Not custom made now look like 80's, you know what I mean? Hi Etienne... It was just provocation... I've understood the Snail forum concept : it is certainly not a 80's custom forum, ans I won't contaminate it I know a special topic on an other forum to make it ... See you later... _________________ Tibo & Rose-Yvonne Flat chicon's Back to top Clôd Dropped Joined: 24 Jun 2007 Posts: 186 Location: Brive, Corrèze county, France Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 10:09 pm    Post subject: Etienne, you can't see my sneer ... _________________ I'm a Rod Breaker Back to top Clôd Dropped Joined: 24 Jun 2007 Posts: 186 Location: Brive, Corrèze county, France Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 10:10 pm    Post subject: Etienne wrote: Seriously, I never thought look at "Six Roses" like an example, but I just watched some pics and that's right the top chop seems to be really well done.

The windshield look ugly... too. But it seems to be a real car, and not a photoshop, isn't it? Was you pict better that mine? What do you mean with "steering wheel" (my bad english don't permit me to understand...) _________________ Tibo & Rose-Yvonne Flat chicon's Back to top Neil Dropped Joined: 03 Jul 2007 Posts: 285 Location: Cornwall UK Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 11:29 pm    Post subject: IIRC it was built by a guy called Nick Farrance - he was a well known custom car builder here in the UK - when i first met him he had a little dog called 'santa' after Santa Pod drag strip, also had a Mooneyes tattoo on his arm. He built a Ford Consul Custom that was featured in 'Street Machine' magazine back in the 80's. The car was featured in the british 2cv calander back in 1993 or '94 - car was built in the early 90's. Nick got quite heavily into the 2cv scene, he owned & restored several A series, including a AK350, he owned a beautiful H van mini bus, or maybe am ex-mobile bank. He even started his own 2cv restoration business - 'South Oxford 2cv Centre'. He's since vanished, probably returning to the scene he originally came from........ The only pic i've got (not taken by me) _________________ www.international2cvfriends.com Last edited by Neil on Sat Sep 08, 2007 12:09 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top Etienne Hoodrider Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2829 Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 11:30 pm    Post subject: Steering wheel -> le volant (le haut du volant arrive en haut du pare brise!!) fucking 80's 2cv custom _________________ www.super2cv.com Back to top Etienne Hoodrider Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2829 Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 11:33 pm    Post subject: For early 90's, it was really nostalgia projekt and that is good.
