I grew up in a ford family, but my first car was a 318CI VH Charger. Still miss that car (but not the manual steering, steering box and bodgy 4 Barrel Holley.)Quote:

Would love to own another.
Oh Dear- I've started a Valiant appreciation thread :) I've always found everyone has a Val related story once they find out I'm into them. The common feature is 'went like the clappers'. I really only have photos of the ones I've owned since digital cameras became a thing- there are some others gathering dust here somewhere. Anyway
My Current Project 'Shiggles' - total rebuild of everything with family and dog proof paint job so we can cruise and park in parking lots without stress: http://i.imgur.com/Ksm80uEl.jpg

Same Car about 8 years ago - was my daily in Darwin for ages http://i.imgur.com/B1v8Q5Yl.jpg
My Hardtop - Owned for about 5 years also in Darwin and why I hate looking after nice paint jobs http://i.imgur.com/ylmK3Nul.jpg

My very first val circa 95ish

There is a Charger XL and couple of others in between there as well, but no idea where the pics are.
Great collection Sonic. We better continue the discussion in the Hobbies thread. These cars certainly don't belong in an ugly thread. Is that a matt black paint job on the VJ ? came up brilliant ! Love the hardtop is that a VG? you are right a tele in that colour would look awesome
Yes- sorry for derailing the thread! Yep hardtop is VG with some custom features- yeah I reckon a Tele with off white binding. The Vj is a satin paint job as its easier to keep looking good than matt (which attracts heaps of dust)
haha no worries Sonic, thread jacking is pretty common here and the ugly thread isn't very serious like a build diary or a tutorial.
Don't know if this qualifies as a guitar but it has six strings, 19th century lyre made from a human skull, antelope horn, skin, gut and hair.
Unsure if it's available as a kit.
This is similar to what I was running,

haha the Valiant/Charger theme won't die on this thread. Nice beast Franky, so it had a 318ci V8 would have been nice to drive
I could pass everything but a gas station....Quote:
