That red thing is incredibly low! Awesome :0 there were some pretty trick cars over there back in the day!
 
I got a stack more old photos of weird custom cars to come :D kids just kinda hopped up whatever they could find! Sunbeams, Austins, and especially Vauxhalls.
both cars were sold late 80s, rubellion has been every colour under the sun, last I saw it was looking like this with a rover 4cyl...word is it's now in canada!

Pretty sick too. I've alwaysh tought the smaller 1930s-40s european cars could make cool, cartoon-looking rods. Keep on postin', dude!
 
Awesome new page so far people; Stumpy, those are amazing, I love the whackiness!!! You really should send these to Hot Rod mag or something to show them how much of a scene there was over there in the 70s-80s, I'm sure they have no idea.
