Real life bluestreak

Ok i know it isn't a Nissan ro whatever g1 bluestreak was based off of, but the paint is the same at least. :P

I couldn't find the thread where people was posting pics of their transformer cars so i decided to just pop the pics in here for you to see.

Anyway the car is a Ford Sierra Sapphire 2000E, 2.0l EFI. Soon im going to re-do the paint as i wasn't happy with how the silver turned out. I'm also going to mod the doors so theres no ridge in them and its all just one smooth shape. And once i can afford them i'm going to get some after market rims, as the stock alloys just arent cutting it for me.

I made the autobot badge myself. :)

That paint scheme is pretty common here in the states. At least where i am. You'll see all sorts of japanese imports with the blacked out hood and trunk lid

Thats usually intended to simulate carbon fiber, either that or the hood and boot lid are carbon fiber, mine isn't its just paint, and the roof is black too. You never see a silver and black metal flake paint job over here.

Don't need to. The 71 Hemi Cuda had a blacked out hood and trunk. How common are those, though?

This is my kinda talk. Just asking, who likes the new Challenger (and hopefully the base Barracuda) concept?

Of course. If I was gonna get a new car I'd get the new Saleen Mustang or the new Camaro. And no, not cause they were in the movie haha

Actually... that would be sick. I would, too.

Nah, though, I've always been a mustang guy. I got a 67 siting in my driveway, actually. And the Camaro concept has just been really growing on me. Dunno why

Not much, i havnt done anything to the engine and its only a family car, It goes better than my underpowered old 5 series BMW i had though. Its probably around the 115, 120 mark. Nothing to write home about. I want the cosworth version that has a stock 200 hp one day. Hmm....yummy.

Well, Sonray, I'd like to see the engine. It's like car porn. :P
Motley....I want your car.
Actually, a sorta friend of mine's dad's frst car was a '68 Stang..and it's sitting there rusted, with rotted tire and seats, almost no undercarriage, and one beaten engine. I love it. But he wn't sell the thing. :sad:
also, this car sales place has a '70 Mustang drag racer, roll bar and all. It's orange and black, and it's only $9,995 USD. =P~

Thats a damn good price. I'd spend 10k on your dad's car if it was a fast back and the frame was straight. And if I had the money... haha

I'm actually working out how to turn a 66 mustang fastback zip zaps body into a minicon haha
