I had to completely redo a tickford logo,
because the one I used as a template was all pixelated and shhithouse.
Being this:

And I changed it to this:

I didn't worry about the Tickford font across the head of the 'T' because it would look dodgy, as I'd never be able to match the lettering correctly.

Looking good!! That Heritage Green colour looks fantastic IMO, but it's not all that common as far as I've seen.
I'll be interested to see how those gauges turn out too, should be good! Keep up the good work man.

So... I've got my car booked in for tomorrow to get the rear muffler taken out and replaced. As well as a new tip put on.
Hopefully this time around I don't loose my wallet...

Shes actually coming along really good! The only chrome you're missing now is the front bumper inserts. Also u should get the EL Ghia rims back on, please please get them back on! The FTR's make your car look too basic.
But it's your car, so its up to you. ;)

Anyways keep up the good work, looking forward to updates :)

I like catching up on what I've missed in the few days from when I last looked, looks great man. IMO the chrome on the sides will stand out twice as good once the pin striping is gone! Keen!

You should try cutting out a hole behind the grille for more air flow. but i don't know if thats advisable.
keep up the good work ;)


ime/o if you cut a hole you can see it through the grill mess up the current diffuser flow and you will wreck your bonnet. i have an au v8 snorkel ditchd the old screw snorkel mounting points ,the bigger snorkel sticks (or screws) down on the back of the radiator support
if you have a good look you can cut a small section of the bonnet behind the grill lined up with the snorkel and use the natural flow of the frame or webbing whatever you want to call it.
im covering my previous owners speed hole with a bit of carbon fiber and doing this .

btw great to see some quallity value mods happening good job !

Yeah,
I've actually removed one side of the pinstriping this afternoon.
Whacked it with the misses' hair dryer (heat gun is way too hot) and cleaned the residue off by rubbing some eucalyptus oil over it, then washing it with "warm soapy water"
With pinstriping:

Without pinstriping:

I prefer it without, it looks meaner imo.

Cheers teeroy, but it had to go... some of it was starting to peel near the front door handles anyway.
Might get a Boss 335 sticker made up for it.... :P
Haha, stuff that.

Thanks mate,
I was going to put them back on, but the EA got stolen a few weeks back, and that means the Ghia wheels went too. I was wrecked for a bit there... they had new tyres on all four corners too... oh well,

Cheers boys,
I'll get a picture of the new tip and a video of the note up as soon as I can.
Maybe the other side of the pinstriping too... haha

shiz mate sorry to hear about that, happens at the worst of times. hope she turns up somewhere...
But yea, ghia rims usually turn up cheap on ebay so you mite be able to find a good set there. Another set of rims you could go for are el gt's in silver. They'd set off very nicely on your car.
