    Been quite a while since I last updated this thread. I'm in the process of uploading pics and writing quite a bit of things that I've done to her and things that will be coming. Some bad time and some

loving the allycats! if only they were made in more friendly wide sizes...

i think you could have done with 165/55/13 tyres though!

Where is that old building you took several shots of the car. It looks familiar but I just can`t place it.

I see you live near Pittington - I live at Nevilles Cross.

Got it - Ellemore Hall ?

So spent 3 hours the other day restoring my vw car mats and also returned the plastics inside back to their original colour. so door pins, door handles, door pockets, window winders, center console, glove box surround, lower dash, indicator stalks, and many more smaller parts. This is the result i got

cheers bud, I love my ally cats :) just wish I had the money to get them professionally refurbished.

Is that a CB you've got in the lower right of your cabin?

:D yep you guessed correctly. Everone should have one as they are just a pit of endless laughs lol espesh when on long journeys. When I went to Scotland it was brill taking to the truckers because they told me where all of the police where and where to get the best food lol.

at the moment I only have a magnetic aerial base but I want a proper rain gutter mount.

  • Author

also forgot my oil pressure gauge that is now all wired in :)

You can get a one like mine Its a TTi something or other lol from amazon for around £50 including an aerial, seriously though you will be amazed at how many people still use them. The first time I fitted mine I joined in a 9+ person convo about how ice cream goes well with mutton rings.. (sheeps arsehole) lmao well worth the money even more so if you do a few long journeys a year, like I said truckers are more than willing to tell you about speed traps and if any accidents have happened futher up the road :thumbsup:

Little update. I havr found more things that fit nicely into my retro theme lol and all I needed to do was clear out my dads garage lol. First we have an UNUSED sparkrite alarm system and I mean never been fitted with 2 key fobs and wiring diagram lol its imactulate. (Pic bellow)

And secondly is the smallest car radio in history lmao its a tiny radio that was fitted to my dads old fiat 900 camper. Made by a company called voxson. As you will see in the pics bellow its tiny. The red part (the actual radio) is no bigger than two aa batteries and the backing plate is still rather small. Its detactable and will be perfect for mounting in a descrete location so that I can either have more dials where the radio goes or have my cb mounted up there as Mattloaf pointed out lol anyway here are some pics to keep you peeps happy
