hello all , i amm new to the site and the vauxhall seen but love the old retro cars . been a ford man for many years but fanced a change so one drunken night on ebay landed me with this old gorl
should never drink and bid !! ha ha . anyway the advert said it was a solid shell and if it did not meet the reserve it was going to be crushed !!
here's a few pic's of the so called solid shell !
so not realy as advertised but i get a friend to collect it so she came home . after a few idears and viewing google for idears a plan was hatched ?!! ( might upset a few now but it was going to be scrapped !! so here go's )
400 bhp , 4x4 , aircon & abs . any idears yet !!
any idear at all !!
this might give it a way abit
yep this is the plan
this is a quick mock up of the car but we found a little problem when we measured the wheel base the scooby was only 40mm longer and about 40/45mm wider so thought it would be a easy thing to do but !! not
the back wheels where just to far back ! so this is what we did
and then this
ha ha problem fix . the next problem was the archies as i did not want the old nail look so john the welder came up with this
and made some with new inner and outer cills
now i have lots more pics to go up if you all like the project and if not i will not put any more pics up as i no it is not a true vauxhall build but as i said i got fed up with the ford seen as eveyone/thing was being done the same or had allready been done and i think a change sometimes is good
hope you all like and ta for now
