How are you going to jig it with a seperate chassis?
95% of our work is US spec cars. We even do the warranty work for chrysler, gm, ford.
what model is the f150.

You funny!!! So do you also think british cars are the best in the world? Wait a minute, british cars?!?...

Deltron,

At the moment we cant even lift the thing apart from on a trolley jack. Last one was a flareside and just fitted on the celette so was not to sad.

This one is a harley edition, more than that i cant tell you. At the mo all I can think of doing is dozering off the chassis as it doesnt matter if i damage it. Doesn't need a big pull so should be ok (I hope ) Not looking forward to doing it though I must admit.

deltron63

sounds good to me, just watch the body to chassis mounts!
try not to break any trim bits they cost a fortune for the harley special edition.
has it got the super charger and electric bed cover?

dubby

Its got the charger but not sure about the electric bed, not got round to climbing over it yet. At the moment its just a pile of dust in the corner

Had it since september, chassis arrived last week along with all the front suspension etc. Everyone has avoided it like the plague Ive been unlucky to draw the short straw for the bodywork but luckilly not the chassis change (well not yet anyway)

deltron63

we had jaque villenouve's dodge viper at ours once, but the insurace company wrote it off [] so we didn't do it.
what a beast of a car that was.

dubby

Would have loved to get my hands on that

deltron63

Mr Salavage Man took it away before we had a chance to buy it.
The parts alone came to 40k. 10k for a new bonnet!!!!!!!!!!!

make sure you use a super heavy duty coil spring compressor. ours snaped in half on the last f150 we did

dubby

Something tells me you could be getting lots of anoying emails in the next ew weeks

RC_UK

no im just not that sad to big up the company i work for.

thats cos their emissions test is more strict than the usa and the uk.
surely you could tell that as you know so much, seeing some of the wrecks you drive round in the usa..... heck you dont even have MOTs. LAMO

i was wondering about usa car regs last night while watching pimp my ride
god they do up some rubbish, i understand maybe the body work not rusting as quickly as they do here in the uk
but they spend loads on the outside and leave the motor etc as is. some of them look like they'd never make it down the road, let alone last long enough to justify spending that sort of money.

quarterscalelegends

Yea, that pimp my ride is a stupid MTV show that goes after the imprort tuner croud that thinks that stickers, large rear wings, and 20" rims make the car go faster!!!

When It comes down to it american cars are the best built, have the best design AND offer the most performance of any other country for the money hands down. Look at the viper and the corvette.... for an import car to even come close you are looking at twice the price. POOR, POOR, POOR Porsche and BMW just cant compete with a 40-80k price tag with that performance and quality. I wont even start on the old muscle cars. Those are completely untouchable by ANY import new or old, PERIOD.

deltron63

I saw a brand new ford gt 40 last week. The paint had rubbed off the edge of the door where it hits the wing !!!!!!!!
you wont see that on a porsche
enough said.

New GT40??? Do you mean the Ford GT? Even if your statement was correct, what porshe or Volkswagon for that matter can out perform it that costs under 150k?? Porshe cant even get their cars not to "wheel hop" when you drop the clutch hard

glenn201

there are a lot of poeple on here that no matter what you have its junk unless its the same thing they have if we all liked the same thing it would be very boring i see no reason to put down somebody stuff just because its not what i drive or what i like

voo2doo

Hey Dub,ya said ya got an F-150 in for repair??? tell me more!

Vo0

voo2doo

Oh,as for FU,UK,the "boy racer stylee".....PMSL....My car is standard,no wheels,exhaust,and other sh*t!!!!Yes sorry folks,jut one imaculate ST170!
I thought the SAAB's were given to the retired??? especially"GOLD"...C'Mon boy you were impressed.And I didnt think the Matrix budget would stretch to PRADA clothing!!!!!!!!! Sorry bud grown out ot "TRACKY TOPS an' TRAINERS"Good luck in ya hobby.
Regards......
Vo0[&:]

FGUK

No wheels??? Or exhaust????

Right............... Ok, so when I said "Driven in a boy racer stylee" what do you think that meant? It meant the way you drove, screeching onto that garage forecourt showing off, and as for wearing sunglasses in October on a dull day............. Just tell me again, what was your favourite character in the Matrix?!

Saabs for the reitred, yes maybe, the old biege ones, not sure they'd handle the 230 BHP Aero Coupe that mine is though, all paid for by the way. Also, I don't know what you've been doing too much of but your eyes are bad, it's Silver Grey NOT gold!!!

Prada clothes.......... yes I wear them, what's your point? Would you know where to buy them?

Trackie and trainers, it's a uniform where I come from, as are clogs and bin liners where you're from...........

Retired? Me? Yes actually, I work about 8 hours a week thanks! Suits me nicely, prefer to have my lesiure time now while I can enjoy it rather than when I'm old and no use to anyone!

Still don't understand why you resurrected this post, maybe it really did take you 6 days to think of a witty reply?!
