my take on this is the car was available for anyone to buy,it could have been bought by anyone on here and restored, but freddie put his money up and bought it, even if he slams it by his track record he has always got them back on the road,that has got to be better than in parts in a garage,i dont know freddie but it means another car is saved meaning it is available in the future could even be bought by someone on here and put back to stock.

Exactly thankyou.


I am thinking of starting a thread, probably not on here as I'm hated enough as it is, Like I have said, although I am lowering it, I have no intentions of ruining the car, When I slammed my oval it was pretty damn low and never ever scraped on the road. There is not one part of the original car I am altering. Not even using the OG crashbox or beam, but keeping it all safe.

I'm all being well repairing the original chassis (needs a lot of welding) and selling on the 52 un-welded pan and OG running gear if anyone is interested.

There you are...if you'd come on here and laid out your plans as you have just done instead of...Yes I'm going to Slam it...it would have saved you a lot of heartache. It's all about how to conduct yourself in different surroundings.:d

Try looking it from my point of view if that's possible? I haven't offended any of you and don't want to, so why offend me? I didn't walk in here to announce that, I replied to a thread where I had already been slagged off just for customising my OWN car.

Don't get it :?

I think because slight lowering lowers the centre of gravity which potentially helps cornering, but then as a fashion thing it's been taken to the extreme with each person trying to out-do the next.

But on the plus side, it does seem to be a bit old-hat now, so many cars slammed that they no longer stand out any more. There seems to be a big increase in the number of vintage speed cars, which imho suits early cars much better anyway... :thumbup:

That's ok Si.
You sell them a few weeks later to persons that revert them back to stock.So all is good in the end.
