well two of em and they are massive i wanna mount em above the garage door and was trying to think of something automotive in the center like an old air filter box and lid  

i could make a car bull out of an old bulnose front with horns on the top

I have the old (dead) Computer Carb from my old car still in the garage...
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

Gator

a carb would look tiny next to these triceratops horns but its along the right lines

hmmmm a wheel might be cool

Maybe throw in a manifold too ? - Or an entire block ?

You could stick an old tyre on it, cut some circles out of the tread & have the horns coming out

Hey, I've got an old 2nd Gen wheel in the container here at work going. If you can pick it up, its yours! Needs a centre cap and a bit of rubbing down.

dude thats very generous where abouts are ya ?

Andy

High Wycombe, Bucks.

Really, its been sat in my container for years. Was gonna flog it but got no results. Seeing as it doesn't match the 'maro, and the tryes fecked might as well go for the greater good.

Edit: Photos from before it went into work. Reckon someone half hitched the cap...


Gator

hey thats a honeycombe i can use that its too good to scrap i have a set for the bullnose  but one is a bit buggered

ill definately have that puppy is it 14" or 15" it should have either 497154 or 483084 stamped on it

any chance of pulling the tyre off so its easier to sort out a parts relay?

Andy

Where is the turnip land you speak of? I can see if i could stick it on a wagon if we do a delivery that way.

Gator

Andy

Just looking at the Map you're only the other side of Oxford. Bung me a few drinks vouchers and i'll drive it over myself

Gator

Andy

Meh, I drove to Nottingham last Sunday for a new drivers seat in my mondeo. That was partially from bordom of a Sunday and because it was free.
