[mayhem]

Burgo for president

[edens-xe]

now that is cool! hats off to you both.

now.....stick a let in itlol

[Nazza's Nova]

definatly stick a turbo in, respray it black, 60mm drop go for the hatch rear archs and front wings, will look the part.

[let_nova]

definatly stick a turbo in, respray it black, 60mm drop go for the hatch rear archs and front wings, will look the part.

me thinks you should stick your head down the loo and flush it yourself before i do. for a start 60mm will be nothing on a saloon, second hatch wing should stay on a hatch and turbo??! fine the way it is:mad:

[Plug]

agree with let_nova 60mm wont do anything to that you need to rob baxters springs while hes not looking and put them on it.

[napalm_27]

definatly stick a turbo in, respray it black, 60mm drop go for the hatch rear archs and front wings, will look the part.

quit your jibba jabba fool!

keep up the good work luke :thumb:

[Nobby]

[Damo]

[Benn]

Thats frigging awesome.

[novaguy08]

agreed ^^

how many peoples asked you what it is??

[Cle]

Looks great mate :thumb:

Now someone has to build a 4dr saloon estate :D

[Steve]

That looks wicked! + rep for burgo

[novaowner999]

nice!!!

[Connor]

that is quality!!

[shed-on-wheels]

wow

[NathanSRi]

The hatch + saloon boot combination make it look like a completely different car from the back.
The whole thing is just awesome :)

[burgo]

definatly stick a turbo in, respray it black, 60mm drop go for the hatch rear archs and front wings, will look the part.

my insurance is £530 as a 1.2, really dont think i could afford it with a let engine. it'll be sprayed satin black (for now) its already lowered 60mm and anyone who puts hatch arches on a saloon should be anally raped by an elephant!!!

thanks very much for the comments people and massive thanks to ernie for the seals and spoiler, i placed the spoiler on and i think it works quite well

[Cle]

anyone who puts hatch arches on a saloon should be anally raped by an elephant!!!

No probs as im sure the weight of it was why my coilovers kept catching on the way up.








Nothing to do with the set of alloys in the back on the way up. lol.

[Count Vaux Alot]

Omfg, stfu, gtfo no youre not....................:roll::roll:

[gavint5]

[chimp007_uk]

Thats awesome...

I remember first chatting to Burgo about this loon at PVS last year as my mates grand parents owned it for years and then me and my mate had it! Glad its been put to good use!

Cracking project and loving the thinking outside the box :)

[Steve]

What spoiler you got for it? Not sure what would work better on it out of the mk1 or mk2.

[burgo]

got a gsi spoiler for it and sloth pics or it didnt happen so shut up

[Sloth]

so why have i just got a v6 and f20? and why have i bought the back of a 3dr in a local scrappy? and why am i going to look at a saloon on fri night? yer. spud. btw your sigs wrong, i have a camera mate. exits that way ----->

[MK999]

I have the back end of a veyron and an F28 and a rwd prepped nova shell :thumb:

[gunny]

http://wallydownundy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/spit-the-dummy.jpg

[Sloth]

[stupot89]

[gunny]

[mikey14sr]

I'm usually quite grinder happy if you need a hand Sloth

[Sloth]

cheers mike. ill bear it in mind.

[Lynsey]

** Sloth gets kicked by Lynz

Yeah Sloth, the door is that way> 'logout'

Back on topic- Good work Burgo :thumb: I presume this'll be at PV looking a bit tidier?

[Count Vaux Alot]

I thought there might have been an up date but all i found was 3 pages of bull - so were is this 4 door estate???

[burgo]

** Sloth gets kicked by Lynz

Yeah Sloth, the door is that way> 'logout'

Back on topic- Good work Burgo :thumb: I presume this'll be at PV looking a bit tidier?thats the plan. just need to get off me lazy **** lol

[CorsaBBoomer]

I knew I seen it somewhere. This one is the lid from the hatch but imo yours looks better Burgo :thumb:

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd150/Michalak5/allerlei/PIC00055.jpg

[Mazz]

Here's another

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/mrmazz/Cars/DSC09811.jpg

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/mrmazz/Cars/DSC09807.jpg

[novaguy08]

o-course its going to look better its made from a loon with a hatch roof on it, the just extended that one by the looks of it!!

[MK999]

where did the 2nd guy get his surrounds from?! lol

[gunny]

Probably custom jobbies, 2nd one is sweeet, seen it before

[Steve]

Nice! imo that first one would be ten times better if it didnt have hatchback arches on it, just doesnt look right.

Burgo I think yours looks better with the custom tailgate. :thumb:

[gunny]

Anybody notice the reversed power cap on the retro estate?

[novaguy08]

have now.......... interesting, wonder if there is any advantage to this?

[gunny]

Id say so, normally it would sit in that small space behind the headlight whereas that would get more air fed in from the grill

[Damo]

liking this burgo summat different for a change lol.

[John]

Black one is cool, if you're gonna paint it matt black burgo, it'll look cool as imo!

[burgo]

bugger need to sort it for a MOT on the 3rd aswell now

[dj_wudgey]

looks mad as f*ck that fella lol

[Johnny A]

I love this, I did consider doing this to one. I photoshopped both 2-dr and 4-dr versions and I am sorry to say I prefered the 4-dr version.

[John]

How's it going Luke?

[burgo]

its going slowly. weather is **** and i completely forgot the MOT, tax and insurance is due next week :(

[Ernie]

"use the force Luke"

[burgo]

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/new%20loon/S7302879.jpg

starting to make a frame
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/new%20loon/S7302881.jpg

massive 8ft x 4ft bit of chipboard bought for £1.50 :)
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/new%20loon/S7302880.jpg

kinda skipped on abit but cut to shape and fitted with supports for the back piece screwed on. also made another support at the back
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/new%20loon/S7302885.jpg

this is where it at now
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/new%20loon/S7302882.jpg

its plenty strong enough for me to lie on it so all good :)

i also got some spray glue out and stuck some of the original roof sound deadening back on to tidy it up abit :)

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/new%20loon/S7302883.jpg

[burgo]

it turns out i didnt have to be worried about the BBQ fitting in either. theres acres of room under it

[mikey14sr]

Think you'll need to weld up those joints on the inside to satisfy the mot man luke.

[Ernie]

You need a little coffin in there to finish it all off lol.

[burgo]

Think you'll need to weld up those joints on the inside to satisfy the mot man luke.are we putting money on it :p

coffin will be made very soon mr ernie :D

[L14MNP]

Think you'll need to weld up those joints on the inside to satisfy the mot man luke.
Not if he covers them up lol

[mikey14sr]

[burgo]

Nice work dude looks like youre really cracking on with it, i was going to ask why you took the screen out but then i remembered lol


Is it getting a full paint then once all smoothed out?yep full paint job, hence why bumpers are off, lights are out, wings are off, all windows out and doors will come off.

plus obviously the windows need to be out for when i fit the headlining aswel.

[BIGS]

And then you can crack on with the other beast :thumb:
