Seriously wtf! Banded steel, stretched tyre, stanced madness!

 

looks like he's tryed to make it look like a tank lol

 

all the rage years ago i had some on my first mk1 20 years ago thought they were ilegal now tho, must not be. they just cut two rims up and welded them together lot of stock cars use them

 

what is he doing with that carb on a zetec

 

Lol, i've never seen wheels like that before. I thought they'd been mounted back2front or inside out somehow.

Could be made to look good on the right car i think?

 

would look better, and no doubt sell faster if he just put it on standard wheels and standard door cards and i dont even know what to make of that pinto carb and manifold crap he has going on. im sure thats called 'going backwards' from standard. and probably cost as much as an ECU to have the manifold made. :/

 

oh dear.

 

fwd boys need them to fit michy t,s on for drag!

 

Inlet manifold looks efficient, not. Plus I very much doubt it's getting full throttle with that exquisite throttle linkage.....

What a POS imho

 

sorry but how is this fail?

 

thats 1 for the 'there,i fixed it' site.looks like a moonbuggy and i dont think a rebuild kit is really what that carb needs,it needs binning!

 

Nice

Air filter not required then? I bet the standard engine made more power than that bodge job!

 

are you taking the piss?

 

Ohhhh, the irony, it hurts!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ermm. Oh dear, wheels stick out beyond the extremeties of the bodywork, stretched tires, dodgy looking inlet with carb. Nice seats and I even quite like the number plates but it is a fail on most levels

 

oh dear god

 

And how much does this amount of fail cost i hear you ask?
Just £1500! Fookin bargain!

 

anybody notice fred elliot has posted on his thread,hes changed his name to marksparks999 though!

 

so many bodges,notice the bolt thing on the arsellorator cable since he didnt have 1 that fitted,the sensor screwed to the inner wing with no wiring,the rocker breather without a pipe,the whole carb in general,tidy welding on the inlet manifold though and in its defence,it doesnt look like the tyres have been scraping,but thats prob because it doesnt go fast enough with that shocking engine.its worth more standard than that abortion any day.

 

Don't forget she's running ford racing grinder spec springs!
DV, i say, DVLA!

 

i know someone who would build something like this apart from the wheels as they probably cost a couple of quid to do.

 

Right I get it and the comedy and the shitness all in....

BUT


WTF is the other guy on about the number plates for..... mong of the week

 

classic ford, i think, did a feature on banded wheels a few issues ago

nothing wrong with them if they are welded up properly

 

but it looks .. erm ... hang on .. i can't add a personal oppinion ... damn

 

Search for user 'fredelliot' on here, sounds like it's the same guy! Mongtastic he is!

 

different to say the least!! each to there on and all that!!
