Yeah, so,,,, what do you think then?

Monaco Sprint???

3&1/2" roof chop with the Monaco fastback roof job & raked back screen, then another 1&1/2" body chop ontop of all that?????---> Making a """Monaco Sprint"""

Yeah?????

I think that`s the go for my Turbo Injected Bimmer twinky, beige leather with woodgrain everywhere & all that DVD TV MP3 etc etc etc

a penny for all your your thoughts ????????

Broadspeeds are much prettier... Now if you have a line on one of those....

Cheers, Ian

yeah, i really think i`m going to do it,,,it`s got a far better line about it, if you know what i mean?,

the std Monacos & Broardspeeds are both a bit "PUG" or fat/tall/full/short looking, so maybe with the sprint type body it should give it a longer more squat more sleek more sweet faster lower tougher, more racy look about it.

& if you look at the sprints that are out there, even the std 10" wheels seem to look bigger, so i won`t need to stick big fat 13s on there to give it that tough look, it`ll already be tough enough, Yeah?


& BTW , i can get a broadspeed roof/rear panel assy done for you if you like, we can do both Monacos & Broadspeeds

Dad has allways wanted a clubby fronted-/-Broadspeed rear end mini but based on a van floor pan, to give it more length , again to save it looking so "PUG"

can someone photoshop a pic of the Monaco , with the sprint type body chop, but with Matt Black paint, dark tint windows, 10" wide wheels with moondiscs & white wall tyres for me??? anyone???

was thinking Phat Hot Rod Matt black look , mood discs & white walls on the outside,,,but with beige leather interior & all the woodgrain you can throw at it, & with all the late model accessories like DVD TV MP3 & all that crap on the inside, full & totall Jag/Merc style class inside, but insane HotRod outside & with Turbo Bimmer Twin cam Rocket ship under the bonnet

:-)

Yeah??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

& i can build 3 of them right now, & i know that everyone has their own way of thinking & their own colour choices etc etc etc, so i can do any colour, just that i`d like a Hot Rod one first.

Here's something to wet your appetites:

Even john's car is in there! I like the plain sprint variant where the roof is cut and that's it. Is that what everyone is talking about? :oops:

yeah i know it seems weired Cush, but the turbo Bimmer Twin Cam probly shouldn`t be in there either then right?

that`s where i`m comming from tho, total old skool Hot Rod outside appearance with fully late model plush classy & comfy interior.

maybe along the similar lines to the new Holden EFFIGY (Spelling???) if you get my drift???
