The Banana Car - Before, during and after.........

Post by Bootsy »

My 911 styling transformation begins in earnest today. I've started this thread to show before, during and after.

Actually, I'm not going to show many during just a few teases! It should look quite different by the end of it. Some of you will have clues to my plans as I've been PMing and buying a few parts here and there.

So, this is how it currently looks...

As of today the car has no blue on it and there are some holes being drilled into the bonnet :wink:

Ah, getting the bonnet drilled for a nice hood ornament eh?
Perhaps a Lalique? Very tasteful Tom. Classy.

If only I did have a pair of Pallas - sadly not, but I am putting lights on the bonnet, yes. How much are the set you've got Andy?
