Seedy Al Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I drove passed this on the weekend coming towards Tawa, definitely stands out. I was in our grey family car of modernness, which basically blends with the asphalt and becomes invisible. Lol I was on my way to trash palace to try find an electrical cable for the ghetto blaster sounds it now has, only to remember when I got tgere they actually cut power cables off things lol. So instead came back with a sweet old sun umbrella and an even sweeter blue chilly bin to match van. Unfortunately umbrella isnt blue which is dumb. Tip shops and recycle centers are not a good place for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Was it the rubbermaid chilly bin? almost bought that myself..bit decided I don't actually need it. Lucky you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seedy Al Posted December 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2016 SO A while agi, I mentioned I jammed some white walls into the tires on this thing, using the white walling machine at work. Was my first time, was fun but took me forever. Anyway. Heres some pic of how it does some shit Basicly has a grinder, with a alloy Disc on it with sand paper glued on the outside, Once you have lowered the car tire onto the roller on the bottom, you find where you want to run it, and cut a small line into the side wall, not very deep or anything crazy, just to give the paint something good to key to I think. Then, once you have that done, you fill up the little paint applicator, which has a roller on top and a plundger on the bottom to apply a little pressure to the paint. This is what I struggled with really, clean application of paint onto the side wall. Got better with each tire, but yeah, the over all effect is pretty good. As can be seen here So yeah, combined with the lowering and the chrome trims and painted steels, looks fucken rad If I do say so my self And have been having a bunch of fun with it too. Camping this weekend in it, which is going to be most radical as that was one of the main reasons for purchase haha And found another awesome feature. Turns out its also hand for transporting Scooters, while still retaining the bed! which means summer scooter missions in far away places! Not much else to report on this at the moment, but it does need a timing chain by the sounds, and I need the time to do the chain! Thanks for reading, until next time, have a good time. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiRge Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Friend has been trying to find a white walling company for yonks (A reasonably priced one) and here you show up just casually. Reckon you'd be able to sort him out? He's got a Crown with hundred spoke Daytons if that helps you with the convincing part  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this took me most of a saturday. I'm sure it can be done much quicker, but not till the skills are up.  Maybe some time next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moffmo Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 This van is looking seriously cool. I'm so impressed that there is such an exquisite tool for doing something so niche as painting a white line on a Tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Haha im not sure how niche it is really in this community. Pretty sure everyone that knows about this has asked about it. Good alternative to some fancy mag wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
