Hi Benny and welcome to the forum. Nice wagon you've found there.

I'm really looking forward to how this one turns out. I can't wait to see what you and the rest of the guys and girls at mambo come up with.

The FB/EK has been used in mambo art on a number of occasions, so I have no doubt that what eventuates will be very cool.

Thanks for posting,

Sam

Wow obviously the image host I used in my first post was a good one....lets see how these next guys hold up...

Thanks heaps for the welcoming messages guys, we are looking at bringing back some of the older designs on T-shirts in limited runs...if people buy them that is....I haven't only owned an 06 Mini Cooper S but it has been my car since 06 and there is plenty of chrome on it...I also had a Mini K for about 10 years until 08 among many other cars. Never a Holden though.

Just down the beach messing with the camera and the guys from work. Been playing with HDR photography for while but i've never been able to pull one off...this looks pretty interesting though.

Great post Benny, just looking at that wetsuit drying over the rear door sends shivers down my spine thinking of all that salt water running down the inside and RUSTING :shock:

Great HDR!

I always seem to get "shadow" on my moving objects (like clouds) but that is spot on! if this is your messing around effort I would hate to see you get serious! LOL

Now that pic just screams AUSTRALIA!
Perfect beach, Classic Holden, Coupla scruffy blokes and a MAMBO shirt!
Pity about the cloudy sky............

Other than that, job well done!

I am needing to get some quotes on bodywork, upholstery and mechanical to see just how far we can go with this project....can anyone recommend mechanics or car body professionals around the Northern Beaches of Sydney??

I can find a few online, just checking to see wether you have any to recommend..

Cheers,

Ben

Ben,

Go and see Tilleys Sydnam rd Brookvale.

They do both panel work and mechanical, if they can't do anything for you then no one can.
