Title: Halfords rattle can budget gt performer replica build updated
Post by: stevied on November 04, 2009, 04:53 PM

havent had anything to do with old school for about 3 years or so due to family issues, but now i have a garage so i can play again :D

always wanted a white performer and couldnt afford one bitd, actually i still cant so i thought sod it ill do a cheapy build that looks like one ;) everything has been done on a budget including buying the big tins of spray from halfords, theres not much choice of colour in the big tins so appliance white it is!!
 im just waiting for a few more bits to arrive so i can finish it off, but all in all the whole build will cost about the same as a real gt f+f

sorry to the purists out there and the bmx :police: as some of the bits arent quite period correct but this has been done on a really tight budget
