Well it's got me , Type 3 fever! Jumping the gun but i pick my car up on Monday! You'll see by the pics the cars a nice ride. Sorry but i've beat a few folk to it but snooze and you lose and thats what friends are for!!! Sorry but thats buying cars for you. Nuff said

The Notch is quietly taking shape , panels ready for paint etc , body on hold til cage goes in and all welding etc done. Car will be a 2 seater only , back seats gone and filled up with bars. Once fitted i can get some paint on it and paint cage body colour.

A nice squareback was too good to resist and i needed some wheels. Butt ugly front indicators being late model (soon sorted , if not i'll soon kick them off the freakin car!!!! ) but a nice car either way. Few things to sort but no major biggies , few w'ends work. Nicely slammed , throw my brms on and we have ignition Houston !

On reflection the car has the lines of a drunk hippo on heels but ugly cars look soooo good lowered , i suppose it's all about taste , beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

Got some plans for this baby !

Go the square , the square is born!:P

haha you're nuts danny i thought you didnt have enought space for that '61 and you go out and buy a square !

looks schmick dan:bounce, almost to sweet to Slam:thumb

Nice square!

I'd also like to change over my indicators.. is it a big job?

Yippie now home! Drives like a dream though box is a little noisy (maybe no oil?) .Picked up this morning and spent the day detailing the beast. Lovely and straight ! A few small jobs needed , a little tidy here and there and we're good to go.

BRM's get tyres t'w so they be on before the w'end and it's being slammed the next week. Gonna be low! Rear and side venetions ordered , headlight grills to fit and swap over to early bumpers with flat4 towel rails.

Toying with also fitting the turbo thomas extractors as these are not long for this world but we'll see on that. Apart from that and an oil change/service and thats pretty much it. Guards will get swopped in time with early indicators.

Can't get over how comfortable the car is and how well it drives , slamming should soon sort that out! LOL

Photos to follow!

One happy Dan:thumb

Yes they're 4 stud , ghost silver and polished. LOL " ...and it will work out cheaper":thumb Whens that ever worried me!

Oh Jon i have aquired another double garage for next to nothing , one for working and one for polishing , heaven!!!!!!

Kai a cruise up to Avalons on the cards i reckon!

Oh baby baby , the BRM's are on and the transformation is started! Car looks like a 4 x4 right now! Can't wait til next week when it's sitting 4" lower!!!!!
Venetions going in over the w'end along with a few other bits. Also got some clear front lenses , red rears coming which will look a whole lot better.
Biggest job this w'end will be cleaning the headlining , not that it's rooted , just so much of it!!!

Off for a cruise on Sat , can't wait!

Dan:thumb

Grills in!

Lookin' forward to slammed pics.....

nice wheels! i'm still going for riviera's though :P

Hey Dan, what size tyres ya got on those wheels for interests sake?

Pat

p.s. Stop messing with the square and get going with that fine notch!:thumb

Rubber is 165 rear , 145 front. The cars going 2 at the back and 3 up front so it will be pretty low. On BRM's i reckon thats about all your gonna get to fit and thats what i was told by alot of folks aswell. The 165's will be tight fit by the looks of it. Only other option is lo/pro's which is a matter of taste and not mine to be honest , not on a 15" rim , has to be a big rim to carry that look off. Matter of taste.

Was going to get the whitewalls(thin) done this w'end but with new tyres they have to have over 2K on them before they can be whitewalled. Their is an oil that is put into the tyre before it's stored and this oil seeps out whilst the tyre is new and fitted to a rim. This then greys the white paint and looks shite. Have to put that idea on hold for a while then , bugger!

Having fun with this "Pimp my square" phase i'm going through but Paddo fear not , the Notch is cooking away in the background , alot of money being spent aswell!
Funny how projects go but some how i've ended up with a restowagen and what will be a very race/rod inspired Notch. Funny old world!


Dan

Venetions all in! All 5 of them!! I like that panelvan look and went for a resto version using the venetions. Not cheap to do but I'm stoked with how it's come out , bit different and worth working over Easter for!!!!.
Visor and rain deflectors go on t'w time permitting and as mentioned it's getting lowered on Thursday. The exhaust will get replaced with the Turbo Thomas as this one's had it and will scrape too much anyhow.

Having fun in the sun !

Dan:thumb

One more!

Last one for now:thumb

Well after some careful measuring and scratch free mounting the visor's on. Has been set as low as i can and to try and work off the roof line as best as. Bit by bit and ALOT more bling my restowagon is taking shape. The swap to early bumpers and slammed will give it what it really needs. Lowering happens this Thursday and i'm like a kid waiting for xmas:thumb

Dan:thumb

As mentioned , trying to keep with flow of roof.

Dan:thumb

Hi Dannyboy, I understand about the low profiles and 15" wheels. I get away with it better cause i'm running 16's. Once you change the bumpers it will be better. Do you know where I can get clear lenses for the front indicators on my square?

I'll check , i may have a spare set for you. Just got a pair of the same for mine and until i change the guards got some clear late ones on their way from T3D who i think also sell the clear early lenses to. Great looking square of yours , weren't you thinking of selling it?
