Pimp My ride

[tommysb]

Trying to make a mark 3 astra look good is pretty difficult, but I think I'm getting there.

The Car before:

(the spoiler is rested in place, just offering it up)

Interior Before:


Getting its new colour, first coat


Glitter effect paint: (the secret? Glitter.)


More Painting:


Making the interior match:




















I think it looks a lot better now. 'Class' is the watchword for this car, and personally, I think it oozes it. The work for this afternoon will be doing the seat covers, adding a 'bodykit' (made out of plywood) and another coat of paint.

You just cant buy that level of attention to detail Tom.
Quality build.

Thinking something like that for my door cars if I could make it fit.

Yup, cool! Been hanging around there a lot longer than I have here though! Few more pics....The dash looks really good. I'm very pleased with the way the interior's turned out! Actually, painting loudspeakers with a paint roller has helped me develop my technique to get a 'professional' finish on the car.

If anyone is feeling generous, please donate a quid or two for our cause, we're doing this to raise money for charity, (and obviously to have a laugh too!) It would be appreciated, but no worries if not, the pictures are here for your amusement more than anything!

I've been moving house this weekend, so only 2 guys working on it today+tomorrow (it was 3 last week). I've got some good electronics I've built that maybe I can get a video of.
Next weekend, there'll be a team of 4 and 2 full days progress, so sit tight!
