retro aerials

[SeventyNine]

see the really long one? where can i get something like this from? doesnt have to work (i have no use for an aerial in my car as i have no radio ;D) as ive been donated a load of aerial toppers (maltese cross, yellow mooneyes, 76) so want something to stick it onto, and don't fancy a straight one.


or, if you have any more pics of decent aerials that might take my fancy, feel free to post them

I have a couple of really long aerials that I blagged from a pair of Rover P6's. Not sure if they're standard on those but a lot seem to have them.

Nah what you want is a proper retro-oldskool aerial:





Might have difficulty attaching the aerial ball though!

Been looking for a CB aerial on eBay for the Min, you can pick them up new pretty cheap.

I haven`t seen a coat hanger aeiral for ages, I think they were standard fitment on Astramax vans ;D

[SeventyNine]

links? lol, I'm not lazy, ive looked, but don't really know what to search for?

big long lanky CB ariels rule! Was thinking of getting two for the back of my red Rapid...

I could do with a different aerial for our dub, the current topper tends to flex it at speed

and i though aerial balls were cool, the bar has been raised!

I have plans for one of the aerials - it'll be topping the Benz as soon as I can bring myself to drill a hole in the roof! Got me thinking about aerial toppers now, although it wouldn't last five minutes round my way before some chav nicks it.
The other one will be going spare - not in the best condition (either of them), and without a mounting bracket (I made one out of an alloy rear-view mirror arm from a Toyota)
Would post it to you gratis if you wanted it Latham - might not be what you're looking for though

[SeventyNine]

yeah, geez, if yur sure! ill have it! as long as its long enough to ensure that thieving scum cant get there hands on the booty at the top! itll to the job!

I'm sure i can send you some rather funky aeril toppers in return!

On the same theme, what about retro ICE installs. I'll start: Blaupunkt LW/MW preset. Gets RTE radio 1 (Ireland) and Magic, 5 live etc through a single 3 watt speaker but not much else. Looks the part though, plus it fits in the dash without cutting it away.

Here it is installed:

yours is the first dash mounted stereo in a bug that i have liked! Nice one, it really looks the part!

My mate sells all kinds of hot rod style arial toppers. Tiki ones, flaming heads, flaming eyeballs, etc etc. They cant be nicked easily either, when i took mine off the golf i had to use a pair of molegrips and nearly popped a vein such was the force required! ;D

[SeventyNine]

que darren asking where his blaupunkt is!


geez, itll be in the post sometime this week! honest!

[lukeB]

How much are those blaupunkts fetching now then, I've seen a website with them for sale somewhere, can't remember where?
