I like it. I remember p100's like that back when the "new look" street machine was featuring 'em every month. wonder if thats one of them? "ooh-ooh motorsport" I think, practically lived at normandy salvage.
there was another on different wheels with a YB under it, with too orangey for crows written on the tail board ;D

They also did a 'how to modify your P100' about then as well, might have had something to do with Normandy Salvage as well.
Theres a couple of nice looking pro streeters about too, pity I don't have any pictures to post

Oh yeah, I like it, but if it were mine I'd paint the wheels black ;D

I remember a grey one in max power with a feckload of speakers in the bed...

P100s are awesome. The best ones i've seen was a black one slammed on 5 spoke revs, with the best tiger print paint job i've ever seen. Sounds tacky but i'll scan some pics in when I go home its gourgeous.

The other one is Rob Grigg (?) the owner of normandy salvage who has an orange one with a YB in its stunning.

Sound's like the Zoo designed one that was featured in SM in the early 90s, if it is, he was the same guy that designed the not-so-popular paint job on Project DMC (the chevette).

The one pictured at the start of the thread is actually Rob's old truck you mention, with the YB pulled out and a V6 slotted in. He did it last year after owning it for ten years. Then sold it to a kid who used to see Rob pass by as he stood at the bus stop, and always wanted the truck. Unfortunately the kid wrote it off not long ago, last I heard he was looking for another shell.

The yellow one used to run a YB too and that's now in the most incredible Mk1 Cortina I've ever seen, which was on the cover of Classic Ford at the tail end of last year...

The red one that was at wheels day is ace, 24v motor and rims but stock looks apart from a lowering job. I very nearly bought it, but couldn't get the funds together in time.

As people have rightly remembered, most of them have been built by Rob and Steve at PRS in Normandy near Guildford, under the banner of Ooh, Ooh Motorsport. They also did the red, XE powered, Mk1 Cavalier 2-dr on gold Hocks that was on the cover of SM about 8 years ago.

And the lowered mint coloured Favourit estate that was pictured at last years wheels day too. The stuff that's come out of there workshop is ace, and the stuff that's still in there is pretty cool too. Funnily enough, I posted up a thread about the yard last year when we did the shoot on the Orange one pictured, 'cos that was featured in Fast Ford in the last year too...

Hope that fills in a few blanks.

As for P100s in general... THEY ROCK ;D

there was a blue one too, now you've jogged my memory. a cossie motored job, loads of ice, but the feature was all done with aussie p-taking overtones, like sheep, corks dangling off stetsons etc. for no apparent reason
good job I pack all this in my brain, means I won't have to learn chess when I turn 80 like in the bupa ad.

edit, top quality info bryn!

As for Pro-Streeters, the best known one is probably the silver one with a green rear end and graphics, plus a huge rear wing. Which funnily enough used to the daily ride of Barry George, the guy who put the yellow 60s race look Falcon together that Charlie posted recently in his race car thread...

It's a small world folks.

[stealthstylz]

Yep was the Zoo one, the tiger stripes went through the door shuts and everything. I loved the chevette too would have looked awesome slammed on some 8 and 9x13s.

[mitch]

I like it lots! not too keen on the wheels though.

[qwerty]

Think it needs NASCAR wheels!!

I like that. Not too keen on the coded Hocks though. Something more muscle orientated to go with the stripe. Along these lines maybe... (IMHO of course)

I reckon Stiff got it right with these.

[keithyboy]

I like it apart from the V6 bit in the stripe but that's really just nitpicking.

[akku]

I reckon the ARE's would look wrong on it.

[stealthstylz]

^^^ What he said!

Matt

[trg1984]

i think black revos would look pretty cool, I'm not keen n the current wheels at all, they seem a bit halfords to me. love the concept tho. and orange is the coolest colour

[akku]

TSW Hokenheims? I still like them.

[Bioshock]

[Deleted]

Amen to that, imo they are a classic that still looks fresh. Wish they still made them

Some time ago I bid on a set on ebay 17" ones, but they went for silly money.

[penski]

nightmares - cortina p100 in sub lime and '302' stripes at the rear of the bed...?

;D

this one is seen scuttling about bedford and frequenting the cruise, blown v8 with nitrous, takes off like a scalded cat, and sounds the dogs danglies:
