I was bored at the weekend...

[me™]

Yep, as the title says, I was bored at the weekend, looking after my parents' farm while they went on a short break to the west coast. So, with two nice big sheds and lots of tools including a trolley jack and axle stands, I decided to paint the wheels on the Punto. I was going for the utilitarian / rat-rod kind of look....

 

I'm sure I took 2 photos, but the camera didn't have much life in it, it kept dieing when I plugged it into the computer, it's recharging right now, can't be bothered trying to get the other one off it.

 

Anyway:

:D

4 coats of hammerite quick drying stuff, only 15 minutes between coats. I left it an hour after the final coat before bolting them back on though.

 

Yeah, it isn't really worth a whole new thread is it? Feel free to use this thread to post random stuff of your own cars.

LOL.... no.

 

Anyways, I need to get a couple of plastic caps to go over the ends of the front driveshafts... Deodorant cans maybe?

I love these types of threads where people show what they've done to their cars. Mainly because I'm nosy, but whatever.

 

Rat-rod look ftw.

Rat-rod look ftw.

Now to find some little caps to go on the front hubs. Not a good idea having them exposed...
