  1. This first picture is from the add i saw when i fell in love with him.
    And lately I've been thinking why in hell have i done so mutch to change him.
    Maybe a desire to make it "my own" and ended up making him look way far from what i fell in love with in the first place. Tonight I've made my mind up, I'm gonne change him back !!
    Well, not all of it, cause once you had a +100 you'll never go back, and inside stays as is.
    Nose is coming back up, old shoes back on, and I'll see what i can do bout the exhaust pipe.

    I do kinda like the Gulf version too, its got your stamp on it! In og style, its not quite there, if you know what I mean, it needs a bit of something..not quite sure what though
     
  6. I think its lovely and unique... I know what you mean about the original character, but you just developed his character... I like the orange stripe... not my style with the gulf on side but its a lovely lovely bus... id be super proud driving round in it that's for sure x

    I like the original look but i also like the Gulf look, so I'm not much help. :-

    I have a set of furry dice if you need them.
     
  13. I hear you. but the thing is, it had that innocent, as i came when born look that i miss.
    And i must confess, the feel of driving a "sleeper" is one of the things i miss the most :)

    i rarely say this..... but stick the stock wheels back on, see how she looks then, lift the front see how she looks then, do it in stages, i like the Gulf decals.
