Cheers mate, ive got one i didnt know there was aother one

[Graeme]

Yeah thats mine still need a lot of work to the front panel, bay and scuttle, I'll get down there once the weather warms up and get it finally ready for paint

[Edd]

Looks like you got a good bit of space to work on it

What's up with the front panel/scuttle ?

[loggyboy]

Thats the booth where it originally was, the front panel & scuttle just need a bit of finishing off really

that is very nice. I love how aggressive it looks. (even in purple).

[Graeme]

Looks sky blue to me

[ben doodar]

Never seen a picture of yours before greame, looks really well mate.

I remember seeing the blue 1 at p.v a few years ago. I actually still quiet like it, in an old max power style, kinda way lol

sorry, but the rear arch doesn't look in proportion... it needs to be a bit bigger...

[loggyboy]

The only thing I always thought with Andys, and it looks to be the same with graemes, is that they use front arches to create the rears, which are smaller than the standard hatch rear arches. I did this p/shop years back which is based on standard hatch rear arches.

[loggyboy]

LOL 'great minds' mowgli...

[Graeme]

I completely agree but I had/have never seen one done well with full hatch quarters, the closest I have seen is the blue saloon/hatch hybrid which didn't look right imo, I'll see if I can find a picture of it, the ps looks great though

[mowgli]

i think foam & fibreglass mat would be a good way of making a wider rear arch.

[mowgli]

this is pretty much how it needs to look

[Graeme]

Don't think this look right either though

[mowgli]

ouch...... burgo must be turning in his gravy

[loggyboy]

Doesnt need to be wider or large IMO, just taller so as to be about 8 inches above the archlip rather than the 4 or the front arches have. IMO wide arches only suit track/rally slag cars.

[Graeme]

I have no problem with the estate just the rear arch/quarter

Theyre even closer to the arch lip than both Andys and Graemes, I think you'l find that will look very odd when sprayed up.

[Graeme]

I took my inspiration from a green c plate two built by a guy called Gilly from the North East that I saw at Ultimate Fast Car in '98, this was long before the sky blue one above surfaced, the guy had a hatch after that in blue that was on the front of fast car a few years later, I really don't have a problem with the front wing on the rear, anything is better than the round arch which looks like its off a mk2 Cav. The car still looks lower side on due to the less round arch and looks more like the arch that Novas should have. I understand its a very chalk and cheese thing on this site but 'each to their own'

I agree matey you either love it or hate personally i love it. The way loons were meant to be built i bought mine predone one arch has been completed the other hasent. When my hatch died due to rust. I was looking for something cleannnnnnn so i,could start from scratch then this turned up so purchased it and got it delivered from newcastle to manchester. Mines going for spray in the next month then hopefully the engine will be fitted

[Dom]

I remember seeing the sky blue one at PV a few years ago and personally I really like saloon's with hatch arches and loving that photshop of one.

He worked at VeeDubs in Gateshead, used to have Antera 151s on if im not mistaken, he was a regular down at the old Sunderland Morrisions cruise wwaaaaaaaaaay back inthe day. I seem to remember the car came to a sad end, he then build the 3dr hatch and had a e36 M3 bumper on.

B969 was built from a brand new shell back in the late 90s and has some interesting history about it and how it came to be about. It is still in the Hartlepool area but not with Andy.

[Graeme]

Thats him Mark I used to call the garage and chat to him, I have one picture of it but would love to see it again look excellent in Green

[novacabrio]

The colour is a later scooby colour, I'll send Andy the link as he is on the facial book mates

[Graeme]

That would be fantastic, it was probably ten years ago I spoke to him, see if you can get some pics Mark please

[novacabrio]

I have some pics on my odl hard drive I need to try and get off,

Sure i've got a few pics of Gilly's car somewhere, was lovely till he crashed it!!

The Blue Saloon was build by lad from Hartlepool as Mark said, Was originally Subaru Blue, think the Lads name was Tim that did it! had a brother called Danny with a red Gsi with a c20let



Matt..

[Calamity Josh]

Always thought they needed back arches extending to go right back to the boot to look right, just a thought:confused:
