Gomez's ULTIMATE build thread Lots of pics

[Gomez]

I was working on my Fender braces and the cutoff wheel broke. Now I am headed to the ER. Looks like I was in a UFC fight and got a sharp elbow to the forehead. probably going to have a crapload of stitches.

If you really want to laugh so hard that you will wet your pants, then you need a an original Jubilee bull horn.
Since the fenders are off, you might as well add a wolf whistle too.
If you have room in your engine compartment, you may chose to add the king of the road.

My car will not be light by any stretch. But it won't be any heavier than some of the other dd's out there with big sub boxes etc. etc.

[Gomez]

Of course. No more secrets from here on out. except for one thing but it is only a cosmetic mod. lol

[redspire]

And when you find one...you will share your findings!

Since I am not doing a front mount intercooler. I will have a little bit of room for some fun. This little circled item will stay hooked up, BUT......

I am planning on doing some slightly smaller version of one of these. I had a set for my last Festiva build back in 09' but didn't have room for the 27" behemoth. I have several trucker buddies locally that are on the lookout for a smaller one. I Love the Hadley sound and have heard rumor that there is a 15" version with VERY similar sound to its big brother. Anyone else know of such? similar? I must find a smaller on or it just won't happen.

old lady. weekend grocery getter. kept in garage. scared of rain and snow. got sick. gave it to nephew. nephew didn't like it. I bought it. end of story !!!

Same story with her previous car. A 72 Nova. 1200 miles when traded it in on the Festiva.

[avitsefdrof]

I missed something here....why only 900 miles....where did it come from....etc?

I have had braided lines in the past. I tend to like a little more of a cushy pedal. Thanks though.

[jawbraeka]

Since you're modifying the heck out of it... I imagine a hydraulic handbrake isn't too far of a stretch...

Or some braided coloured brake lines.
