old car relaunch

[ken]

im in my 3rd year of my degree and i have a self titled project to do. So i have decided to relaunch an old car, and perhaps using photoshop to enhance and create a concept car.

any ideas for a car i should do??????

[Dpnova]

[2litreturbo]

your on novaload. Guess!!!!!

I'm gunna say nova. Or if you wanna go true vaux old style, do the shuv it! (chevette)

[Jack]

lol ok so how many people are gonna say "nova!"

would be cool tho. Or if you want older how 'bout something like a chevette?

[2litreturbo]

you copying me parrot??

[nuno_gt]

Well, i may tell you to do the Nova theme but, if you wanna make it "real old school" why don't you try the Vauxhall Firenza (if you find one, of course)

[ken]

im not going to do a nova as they are not too old, and you still see so many today.


so i dont want people going DOH what website is this, i know what it is.

the cars have got to be kinda retro, like how the mini was relaunched, or how skoda relauanched themselves.


ive got to create an impact and it doesnt have to be Vauxhall, but a chevette and a frenza? sound cool, ne pics

[Jack]

you copying me parrot??

Squaaaaaak!

lol :lol:


what about AC Cobra?

[cooper_nova]

[ken]

if they come forward or if anyone else can remember might be worth an ask to see how they got on??

[Jack]

No probs. To show an image, host the image somewhere on the net, then use the and tags with the link to the picture inbetween

Robin reliant
VW Camper
VW Beetle
Mini
Citreon 2VC
Ford cortina
Triumph Spitfire

All classic cars, just afew i would like to relaunch or build (if i had cash)

[Nath]

id love 2 build a triumph spitfire, my dads been on about building one for ages now.

[Riggy]

vauxhall viva lol :D

[2litreturbo]

hows about the model T Ford. Old enough for ya?

[Stuart]

I'd say a Jenson Interceptor, or a Lancia Delta (obv HF or evo)

but they are horny because they are old and require nothing doing to them


Ford re did the capri, and WOW its a hunny.

same goes for the new GT40 etc

you have to be very careful with the car you pick and how you transform it, otherwise it will just look like its ram raided RGM HQ lol

A good all round car to try would be say a 50's-60's car. say the ford mustang, since ford cocked up the "new" version so you cant really do badly lmao

but deffo nothing from the 80's onwards as they are too "modern" so to speak for a relaunch

[peester]

.... why don't you try the Vauxhall Firenza.....

big up! thats gotta be done.

[peester]

no, seriously you have to think along the lines of the current examples; mini, beetle, as cambridge sed the capri wud be a good one; cars that were ICONS in their original state. not many vaux's/opel that were; opel gt? manta? ford did loads; cortina, capri, escort rs -bringing back the cossie (in focus guise) aren't they?
quite hard though...skyline? not dead long though...bring back the rover v8? sd1? metro turbo? fiat mirafiori? alfasuad? lol i cud be here all day.
jag doin' a new e-type?

[Jack]

Triumph Spitfire

Now there's a quality car. I like triumphs, my dad's got a mint 1800 dolomite in the garage... sweet. How about a TR6? Or even a Herald!?!

TR6 would be good coz its a classic british sports car

[Jordi]

How about these?

cheers lads just scratchin my head at moment, thing is what ever i choose ive got to be able to get knowledge, and history of. i.e pics,spec,materials etc and then its the idea of do i make it subtle, or a true concept based idea, or something that really could be produced i.e nothing too excentic.

as others have said it does have to be a cult car, wether it was popular for good or bad reasons. something my tutors and examiners will recognise by name.

[DUNOVA.]

Escort rs mexico :D

[cooper_nova]

u say for good or bad reasons u cant get much worse than the morris marina 2dr coupe :x :o :D
