It gets my thumbs up mate

Very, very cool.

Now all you need is some tints

andy2407 · 31-07-2006, 23:36

Very different - must be a one-off - but I like it.
Amazed to say it, but I even think the white walls suit the overall look. Are they a b!tch to keep clean?

Emily-Elizabeth · 01-08-2006, 01:34

Mate, that is a fantasticly cool van and a total one off! Please stick around!

Lummox · 01-08-2006, 07:34

Hello mate, long time no see

Truck is looking cool at last.

KentStu · 01-08-2006, 10:08

Very unusual - nice to see someone going a completely different direction

p4ulo · 01-08-2006, 20:40

Cheers dudes,
I always planned to put these wheels on.
I bought them 6 months ago,
but only just finished DIY'ing the house so its not a work-truck too much now!!!

Em - Don't worry, I'm around for a while, I got some little jobs left to show you....
Lummox - Good to be around fella!

andy - Yes, white walls have been on less than a week and are filthy!!! I'm currently working on some alternative retro wheels based on the original Skoda wheels, but I still need White Walls!!! They are a bit of a bugger to fit too!!! They still don't sit flat against the tyre, damn!!

Anyway, cheers everybody, it seems to get the thumbs up where ever I go, I'm so pleased everyone agrees with its radically different look!

Lummox · 01-08-2006, 20:42

I miss my truck some days.

KenONeill · 02-08-2006, 13:29

Kewel wheels.

Personally I'd go with the debadge, but not the chequer roof, since IMO that won't "go" with the general 1960s image.

Good call bro,
I wasn't sure about it,
and I'm struggling to find a cheap option.
On the plus side - it would cover up some dodgy bits around the top of the windscreen.

I'll have a look about for some different 60's options, but plain is good!

Wheels - never seen another set, I reckon I could get good money for them if I wanted......

Dmac1969 · 02-08-2006, 22:25

Very nice , it reminds me of the aircooled VW scene , which is strange!

must be the whitewalls and that grey colour , straight off a Type 3!

p4ulo · 02-08-2006, 23:09

I guess thats what I had in the back of my mind,
once I saw the colour I knew which way to go.......

Wheels meaning vehicle originally, but kewel rims with that sort of retro look too.

Not sure I've ever seen a pickup with one, but how about a grain leather effect "vinyl roof", rather than graphics? Check people like Rimmer Bros if you're not sure what I'm getting at.

Tom_vRS · 03-08-2006, 13:10

How about getting some clear side repeaters?

Otherwise, awesome. love the look.

monster meat · 03-08-2006, 19:45

I have favorit forman pick up and like what you have done could i do the same mods to mine i love the white walls could i use dulux one coat to get the same effect ?
I have put the glx alloy wheels on it and it looks realy cool.

p4ulo · 03-08-2006, 21:12

Where can I get some clear side repeaters,
I'm well into that idea.

Dulux One-Coat Whitewalls - I'm sure you're joking? It needs to flex with the tyres, that would last about 10 metres!!! I bought white-wall trims from German Ebay for them, but I need to straighten them out as they don't sit too well against the tyres.
Feel free to do the same mods, all I did was put coilovers on and sexy wheels!

Vinyl roof - I like it.....

Lummox · 03-08-2006, 21:28

Clear side repeators are standard items from Skoda, Felicia 99>

Tom_vRS · 26-10-2006, 09:03

Linky no worky Rossy.

Any more progress Paulo?

p4ulo · 28-10-2006, 17:18

Hi.

Nope, not much to report.

I took my polished wheels off for the winter,
and did some work on the standard steels.
I adapted some Aircooled Camper chrome domes which sit very nicely over the top of the wheel-nuts!!!
I just received some new White wall trims to put on to these wheels,
I'll put a picture up when I'm done....

Sorry, but I imagine in the next 6 months (over winter)
The mad Scientist P4ulo will be busy in his garage,
tweaking the Sko!!!
