If you use the highly scientific 'stick your finger in the tread' measurement system, you can tell that the inside is wearing a little quicker than the outside, but I'm guessing it's only a mm or so. I hardly do any miles so even though they'll need replacing in less miles than most people, time-wise it should be longer. Should...

Seriously, if you were to run over a cat, your car would launch into the air its that low!

Cheers Carl And I'd never run over a cat, that's a horrible thing to do! Think of the damage it could do to my car let alone having to wash all the blood and guts off ;]

We don't have any deer or pheasants over here, but I did hit some duck shaped roadkill the other day, dragged it a few feet before it exited in a cloud of feathers.

Cheers. The app on my phone said -4 degrees, but it only does whole numbers, so anywhere between 4 and 5 I guess.

Well the outside's mullered, time to start on the inside:

Took a week to fit the seats as I needed to make new subframes, but worth it I reckon, and unfortunately I can't use the seatbelts any more so had to get 4 point harnesses instead

looks the nuts although I couldn't get away with having it that low in london. I love the Decepticon badges in the grill and the steering wheel, i'm sure if they were to be a scoob it'd be one like that!

Looking good, but only 1 thing I would change is the front splitter, its looking atad ****ty, but rest of the scoobs great.

I really love this look of stanced scoobs and when done right looks the bolloxs, Far better than the usual unpainted side sills and gold wheels!

Classics can still be done well (eg the F6 Classic, Tom's etc) but yeah, newages do pull it off better

There are, Silverstreak and Bluestreak are both Autobots, but this one definately looks like a Decepticon. I've been round London in the other weekend, and I'm going again in a couple of weeks, it's not too bad actually.

Yep, was meant to be in Show and Shine, but my stuff never came through, which was lucky since after getting up at 4:30am I didn't really feel like washing it ;]

Haha, what makes you think any of this was 'planned'? Finishing it really, the B and C pillars still need to go white, roof liner and door cards need covering once I've found a material I like then rear seats need doing to match the front.

Harnesses are fitted using proper eye bolts mounted where the original belts mounted. Rear belts are still there, just not really usable since the shoulder straps crossover behind the front seats. If you uncrossed them you could still use the rear seats if they didn't mind being sat between the straps.

Definately up for a shoot at some point :]

If you get up close you'll see the rest of it's a tad ****ty to match ;] I've got the missing bits of the splitter to go back on when I get around to it, and the whole car needs a good touch up.
