G'day guys, here is an old build, i did this when i was first introduced to flocking, i lined out the boot, detailed the engine and stuck to a set of chrome widies.
A three tone green paint job, and thats about it.

Not convinced the sound system is particularly old school but it's a nice build.

Sound system? Are you saying they are speakers in the boot and not spare wheel caps? Very Happy

Not only that - the rocker covers in the boot are also the amplifier system! Very Happy

Ripper build mate - love those old Mercs.

Im pretty sure that the amplifiers are from the Matt & Debbie Hays Prostreet Thunderbird kit. (that awesome pink kit from the early '90's with the twin frontal superchargers & 351windsor)

Well, i must settle this arguement, yes, the speakers are hub caps, i didn't have access to speakers back then, so i made do, the amps are from either the pro street Tbird or more likely the LSC pro street lincoln, which is more like it coz i wrecked a few of those to make my limo. Smile
