danny.b's P-plater BBQ Mobile - VS Acclaim

[danny.b]

yes, imagine a car with a fold out BBQ, it could use the LPG to run it! and have a little cooler in the car for your beers and meat!

damn that would be awesome, it would be random BBQ's for all! lol

That's actually a pretty good idea! Not a clue how you'd hook it all up, but would be perfect for summer time cruising and meets.

In between all the rain we had this weekend, I managed to swap over all 4 wheels. Looks eleventy times better than the VR Berlina's, although it just makes it even more obvious it needs lowering, and stat!

good to see you think highly of my ideas hahahaha

but on a serious note, it looks good man. but you need center caps! lol

[danny.b]

Cheers!
Centre caps would be good. I'm on the lookout for some that aren't going for rediculous prices.

[danny.b]

Stroke of luck. Just won a set of centre caps. Plastic, not chrome. So I'll spray them up satin black the same as the rims, and that's one part done and dusted.

[danny.b]

I gave that bitch centre caps, bitches love centre caps..

[elmaso]

yeeeaah buddy! you'll be beatin' em away with a stick! haha looks good!

[F l a k]

Looks good mate, I like the wheels, they are tough.

[danny.b]

Haha, cheers man! Amazing what a few bits of plastic can do..

In other news, anyone wanna chuck my springs in for me? Cash and/or 6 pack. Not real keen on doing it in a dirt floored car port :\

[danny.b]

Chicka chicka yeah..
Best 30 bucks, and a trip to Melbourne ever.







Need a good scrub, and the rear trims need the plastic courtesy light inserts. But definetely much nicer than standard Acclaim trims.

Also got roof mounted courtesy lights, which I'll put in when I re-do the roof lining. 11-ty staples, FTL.

Looking good Danny

Long over-due, although underwhelming update.

Still have this, still going strong. Got the entire cooling system replaced in early January after being stranded on the Pakky bypass due to a split end tank. Sold off the Statesman door trims and am back to standard Acclaim gear. Really all I've done is painted a few bits and bobs, but it's still as high as the mountains. So not a whole lot has happened, although hopefully a few things start getting done soon, especially lowering. Any guys on here want to make a few bucks and but my springs in for me? Lack of suitable area/strength/know how/time..

Future plans:

Get spare side mould and boot garnish off of Wombles (lost a strip after painting it somewhere in between Maffra & Sale. Obviously hadn't dried like the others :\ )
Lowering
Exhaust
Paint garnish and fog light bezels
Install fog lights and bezels
Hopefully find matching drivers side doors, and swap them out.
Cluster faces
Gauges underneath headunit.
& probably a whole lot of other things if I can justify the cash

Anyways, here's some pictures. Please excuse it's filthy state and missing boot lock. Havn't gotten around to installing one since I got a better condition boot lid to replace my farked one.









Also re-did my cluster needles today. Sprayed the bases with satin black paint, and coated the stems with "fluerescent" paint that's supposed to glow. Better than the old nail polish trick, but could be better. Probably a tad shite house due to the clusters poor light design. Hopefully improves if/when I get a white cluster face with a white background.

Pics!
