**** man, you don't have much luck. That kind of scum needs to be doused in diesel and lit up. If I ever caught someone doing that to my car I would kill them

Their always doing it at the wee hours of the morning when I'm sleeping.

Might have a buyer already. One of my customers is keen as. Told him 7k. Can't go wrong. Least I won't see it in the morning with damage. Be sad to see it go though

Photos don't do it justice. As Hus would know its fucking awesome having your car painted fresh. Looks like new.

Ill bring it to the next mini meet.

Took it for a rwc and they picked on globes. Head lights being blue. Tyres. Clean engine and boot grommets.

Can't complain as the tint is 15%. It's fucking loud and very low. Gotta live being in their pockets

LOOKS MINT! love a fresh paint job!

change those number plates over to black and this car is perfect for a ford brochure/user manual picture

I'd prefer them to write it off as I wouldn't have to sell it and advertise it and so forth. Pay reg in 8 days.

Not fussed about the plates. The new owner can sort that out when it's sold. But thanks for the great words guys


Cheers

Shame to sell it now that it is so mint again. But I suppose it would hurt more to see it damaged again. Buyer will get one sweet car.

Re: El Fairmonster Ghia

by SnipeZ
Yeah. If it got damaged again I'd have to set it on fire or something.

Once sold it will be a great car for them

Seemed like a good bloke. He used to own an xy gs that someone stole. Was pretty impressed so I like to think it will be looked after.

Hey mate, was just reading through the thread. I think you did the right thing selling it, someone had it out for that car... Sucks they had the wrong person and they attacked yours...

I was wondering, how did you get your corner lights to be used as driving lights? I cant find anything through searches.
Any help would be appreciated.

Like i said, awesome car, sorry to see it go but atleast it wont be attacked now.

Cheers,
Luke

With the driving lights I spliced into the plug going to the head lights.
Isolated the Parker wire and ran a wire from a joiner down to the turning lamps.
They weren't driving lights and acted as turning lamps on all the time.

Yeah I'm happy it went when it did as I wasn't allowed to have it at the workshop much longer. So yeah. Good to see it go and bad at the same time.


Cheers

I know its a few years too late, but did you ever find out who did that to your car? Man, id be no joke goin columbine!! I live in narre, and some lil brain fgkt idiot feels the need to egg my cars if on the street... Crackheads, gotta be.

Im impressed with how you handled it, better man than me.

Na never found out who it was. So wasn't much I could do.
But **** I was bleeding when it happened and was homicidal the second time.

It's gone to a great home now and I see regular pic updates from the guy on facebook.

Miss it sometimes but then I think ahead to what the new one will be like and then I np longer miss it.

Plus the coin I got for it helped my house deposit along nicely.
