Retro modded F: a bit of fun.....

Going more retro. I have a pair of HMV speakers........ With a little dog looking into each one. :yesnod:

8 track?

How about some sort of storage facility in the glove box for cassette tapes.... Oh, hang on....

:lol:
...my favourite gripe in the real world!

My gripe too, I can't get my 8 track tapes in those slots. :nonod:

So my 78 rpm records won't fit then? :pinch:

No, but the slots are perfect for your box of needles, and winding handle. :broon:

You've all forgotten about the wire coat hanger ariel...mounted upside down and slightly stretched upwards for the best reception.
And forget those fancy new fangled alloy wheel things - you should be looking for some steel wheels with tires the same width as a BMX bike, with rusty chrome hubcaps that make great trays for your wheel nuts.

Importantly you can save money by only having three hubcaps.
Or remove them to convert your car into the 'Sports' model! :broon:

Always wondered...

Replace K Series with side valve Morris Minor engine. Remove synchro from first gear, blank off fifth gear.
Retrograde skinny 12" rims with remould crossply tyres. One bald. One with a sidewall bulge.
Replace leather seats with sticky vinyl Austin A35 fitments. Suspiciously stained.
Remove rev counter, oil and temp gauges etc. replace with just a big speedo and 2 warning lamps, one with a blown bulb.
Rubber mats.
Sliding windows.
Respray with Artificial Limb shade of Pinky-Beige with orange peel finish.
Underseal painted halfway up the doors to hide rotting sills and door bottoms.

Watch out Diesel Destroyer!

Wheels are sorted. Just need to brush paint over the rust with silver Boiler Paint. :broon:
