Here goes the start of another build thread, although this one is more of a reassembly and tidy up really, I'm gonna make some changes to the car as i'm not keen on the wheels, i'm not sure about the colour although it is growing on me as it happens, we'll see, it'll probably stay purple until everything else is done and then i'll decide. This is with the suspension jacked up to normal ride height Impala rear lights As far as i can tell i have all the bits to put it back together Suicide doors open via the keyfob the door panels are in the car and match the custom seats which also match the steering wheel, sorry forgot to take a pic. Button inside pops the bonnet which then raises by itself on the rams. This is a pic from the for sale ad just to show it on the floor, didnt wanna drop the suspension just to take pics as the batteries are not connected at the moment and i have to move it into the barn soon.

Didnt this used to be a Street Machine project car about 10 years ago? Certainly did, i never saw it though as i had stopped buying the mag by then, i do however know Jon who built it and hopefully i'll be getting some more history and pics when i see him.

This car's great! Full-on 1990's timewarp. I like the three-spokes and lavender paintjob, but I don't know if I could roll it like that personally! ;D
What's the chassis like underneath? Any of the dreaded tinworm in the usual spots, or has storage been kind to this one?
Love the two door conversion. Can't make out what the bumpers are from, unless they're heavily worked over originals, but they have a rubber insert and a seam straight across the middle.

Wow i didnt know this car was still around! Got loads of street machine and custom car magazines from 1992-4 with this in. Was quite the show car back in the day. What on earth happened to it? Personally i would restore it to its former early 90s glory... not change a thing. But then i love that era of custom cars. Look at that paint!

It would be nice to just restore it and roll with it as it was built, but i wanna put my mark on it and thats what customs are all about i think, making a car YOUR car, a lot of the old rods and things that are still alive have evolved over the years.

Now i've worked out the cost of fixing the ol' 4 banger is more than i wanna pay for a measly 100hp, its gonna get quite a lot more lively i think.
