nice interior, would be even better with an aftermarket wheel.
looking to start an mechanical apprenticeship, if you know of anyone in Melbourne or Gippsland who's looking for a first year, let me know!

Yeah... look, I don't wanna step on any toes... but those steering wheels are uglier than an old SLE Commodore's!

I saw this Scorp at Kilkenny today. I was outside Woolies working, and recognised it straight away. Looked pretty good.

It pissed down with rain in adelaide today and the street my car was parked in flooded.
You can see the water line on the side of my door. my door trims are warped as and may never be the same again.

did you do the flutes yourself? i want some for my siggy... how were they done?

tough scorp.. very 80's, were you going for period correctness?
"launching missiles? who do they think i am? iraq? where would i get a missile from?" "that means rocks too dumbaass" "oh"

I cut the flutes out of some busted ge guards and cut a hole in the gh scorp guards then welded them in where the edge of the flute is. as long as it is pretty much the same spot the shape of the guard is the same. unless it is going on a siggy wagon in which case you could weld it on the body line.

Felt like a change so Scorpy got a fresh coat of paint and i had a crack at old school pinstriping. not perfect but good for my first crack at ressurecting a dying skill

Hey Tubby
I'll give you one thing, you are confident enough to put it out there. Good for you mate :thumpsup:
I think I prefer this incarnation, although, I did like the Scorpion on the bonnet of the first that led into a stripe.

I hope it's ok mate, I shared these pics on SG on FB. Not sure if you are on there or not?
