The Meatwagon: Missing, presumed..?

[ozonehostile]

im sure the rozzers would disagree

[rocker8742]

Iirc they can't do you for it unless they are in use on the road same with blues as long as they aren't really obvious

---

Expect they would draw their attention though

[cwspellowe]

im sure the rozzers would disagree

Doubt it, they're used to illuminate a hazard. If i was driving round like a knob jockey with them on then fair play, however I work with these on a daily basis so please get off your misguided high horse and accept that, in this instance, you're wrong.

Not only am I qualified to work on the roads, you don't actually need a "permit" as you call it. The RVLR state that:

"(vii) a vehicle used for the purpose of inspecting, cleansing, maintaining, adjusting, renewing or installing any apparatus which is in, on, under or over a road, or for any purpose incidental to any such use;"

So if my car breaks down, I can flip the beacons on to make a safer working environment. If I park in a town centre and flip them on to impress my chav mates, it's illegal.

Thanks bbz.

This is goin to look sweet Chris your projects are always interesting look forward to seeing it in the next stage

[ozonehostile]

well, there you go then....

anyway, that paint, you gonna be incorporating anymore nato colors? Ive got access to all military paints at work, would be cool tyo see some nato grey or brown on there, the proper stuff is amazing, completely scratch, chip and crack proof, you cant even shotblast it off lol

[cwspellowe]

Possibly, I need to look into ways to fatigue the paint as it's all a bit too fresh for my liking. Was originally considering olive, reed or sand but settled on this, might texture it with another shade though. Great thing about it being acrylic graffiti stuff is you can paint what you want, when you want, with no prep or hassle!

[samass]

This is awesome dude! Different to the image I had in my head, but fooking epic non the less!

[Niall]

hope you have a permit for those lights.

Don't need one unless there switched on

You dont need a permit or licence at all to buy and use a orange light thats why any mug can go and buy one. Green and blue however is a different story.

[Dum-Dum]

I am impressed that you have yet again found a whole new evolution to this car but I shall reserve judgement on the actual look until its a little more finished.

[Poodle]

Hahaha love the new ideas, look forward to seeing it at shows this year, unlike the last incarnation. :p

[vlj]

This is amazing! Can't wait to see more

[Jonny b]

Ha ha ha fecking quality, you crazy scot bastid lol!! you going to grill the windows?

[cwspellowe]

Jonny i was going to baton down the rear 3/4 ones but not sure how the po po would view wood and nails battered onto the side of it

I do want to armour plate bits though, and fit louvres. Oh and lots of rivets.

[Jonny b]

Rusty chicken wire lol!! stops the zombies getting in, well it does in all the movies

[Jake]

Love it! Epic project!

Defo needs BFO bull bars on the front!

[kernow_joe]

awesome always good to see something different1

have you actually give much/any prep before painting it? seems something even I could do to my shed/car cover up all the scratches and different coloured panels.

[Slam Wagon]

Love it! Epic project!

Defo needs BFO bull bars on the front!

This was my very first thought.

[Piggy]

cool...
I dont love it yet but I hated the bad black arch on white body look...

needs a nice spade strapped to the drivers door and a pair of 50cals sticking out the fog light holes!!

[cwspellowe]

Guns would be epic but walking a very fine line between legal and prison time!

For those of you who don't follow it on Facebook/Instagram, here's what happened today.

Start off with a printer, a craft knife and a military font and you get...



Next, the standard bus journey to the shed of doom. Call me clichéd but on the drive over, my music completely on random came up with a couple of Rob Zombie songs, Bodies, Daylight Dies and Show Me How To Live. Ominous?

Like zombies to the slaughter..



Anyway, out came the paint in what turned out to be another day of cracking weather, the results are thus:





















Fun times.

[Piggy]

awesome!

[Mattcheese31]

i think it's uber mate . . .love your sense of fun . . .

[ginge191]

Dont get me wrong i LOVE the idea of a ratted estate, and most of all LOVE the gt2056 "badge", some amazing ideas and i like how you encorporate rust into the paintwork, but i can't help but admire the car before it went green, how it was looking when we visited you guys.

But as always, your car, no doubt it will look amazing

TBH mate, i'm braced for that kind of reaction, the white version seemed to strike a chord with a lot of people and I was overwhelmed with the reception it got at the tail end of last year.

People move on though and ideas evolve, yeah maybe it would have been nice to have a perfected motor but i'd be forever chasing blemishes in the paint or stressing over coal on the back of it.

Now? Who cares? It'll look dirty even when it's clean

Plus, i'm yet to see what reaction it gets when it parks outside the house. Might set up a time lapse from my living room window to see all the Airdrie-ites and their confused expressions

[puglove]

pretty epic . but put the bloody number plates on properly

[cwspellowe]

NO

[4WayDiablo]

pretty epic . but put the bloody number plates on properly

I think its fallen down so many times after running down zombies that he can't be bothered to put it back on

Hydro what now?

Dunno any army paraphernalia that anyone may have lying around. It's just getting f*cked on the roof anyway
