The Meatwagon: Missing, presumed..?

[Pugmarshall]

Looks shit

/thread

[Scott]

Meatwagon kind of sounds like a gay men's nightclub?

Pretty apt then!

[kentiiboii]

Jenks.. shim metal?

That's not a bad idea though, would mean I don't need bracing of any kind as I can rivet plates over the original dash, and wouldn't be any hassle having to relocate wiring etc

Metal that's .5mm comes in rolls in tins. You use it to shim gaps to make it tighter. Or copper sheeting if your feeling rich

Could use tin foil

[Stephen]

Or coke cans :p

[kentiiboii]

Bear cans sound better

[cwspellowe]

dude, put the license plates right..

LIKE!

dude, put the license plats rights and would be awesome!! LIKE!

[Stephen]

Yeah I thought afterwards should of said beer, I don't drink it though so automatically put coke cans :p

---

Also I don't think you should put the plates straight but I do think you should run over them a few times to give them a 'been bashing zombies' look

[ozonehostile]

Bear cans sound better

bear cans?

[kentiiboii]

Bear cans sound better

bear cans?

Yes exactly what I was thinking

[Matt]

Meatwagon needs a support vechile ASAP

Would look sick at shows

[ozonehostile]

needs box arches, the current ones look far too neat

[cwspellowe]

I've been a bit naughty...



£30 posted, including the lamps. Probably sell them on as it's a bit overkill

[samass]

Hmm.... Curious as to how you'll actually fit that..

[bingham123456]

Win/

Put a pic up with them losely In place then decide.

[cwspellowe]

Hmm.... Curious as to how you'll actually fit that..

Bolt to lower crossmember, bodge the rest. Simples.

[ozonehostile]

Probably sell them on as it's a bit overkill

did i read that correctly? coming from you?

[samass]

Lots and lots of cable ties then eh?

[Dum-Dum]

Chris QR pin the bull bar to the cross member as its pretty stupid having a QR bumper with a bull bar stopping you QR'ing it.

The car is starting to grow on me now though.

Any chance youd PM me your address as I might be up in Scotland at the end of the week. I dont particularly want to see you but im gonna straighten up your number plates for you.

[Tallguy_2]

This thing is f*cking insane, it's not really something I'd usuall like but I love it!

[Slam Wagon]

Leave the lights on the bull bar, and definitely need ruin those plates a bit if you want to keep them wonkey.

[cwspellowe]

I dunno, I might strap the number plate to the bull bars and do away with the lights.. we'll see. Priority is fitting the bull bars though!

[sam]

this defo needs banded steels in its life!!! ever thought about the American police lights on the top off the wing that's on a pivet?

[cwspellowe]

Nahhh I have enough lights on it now, running out of switches

Think I might wire the glowplugs to a push button as my relay's died again. Stupid f*cking shitheap of a car, I swear it's trying to kill itself.

I was looking at banded steels too, roughly 10j for the same offset. The steels wouldn't be that expensive, tyres though? Oouch.

[Scott]

10j?!

[procta]

leave the lamps on the bull bar, gives you extra full beam support. i may have a loom from the rover you could bodge to the 306 lights system, as it a relay for the spots and wiring to the battary.

[Seid']

I have noticed you have painted with montana sprays. you have done any finish? varnish (?) or something else, ou is just spray?

[cwspellowe]

Just spray mate, no primer, no clear coat. Don't want immaculate paint

Procta i've wired up the lamps to main beam using a relay anyway so i'm all good cheers

[Seid']

And you have used what cap? I'm thinking on the Astro Fat Cap.

[cwspellowe]

Standard caps for base coats, then use level 6 fat caps (dark green, pink dot) for a final coat for a more even finish

[Connor]

Overkill? No such thing... Pfft! Fanny
