Luv the FJ mate. Good stuff.
YUCK FEH
FUCK YEH
must be praying that he doesn't ever get rear ended.
Some lovely motors there.
Jonathan Livingston Budgerigar. Hot FJ with foxtails.
Another year rolls by and Cooly Rocks On 2017 is warming up with a few early turn outs before the big weekend.

I like the way there is plenty of room under the bonnet and you can see how old cars work. Nowadays you can barely get a finger in between the engine and the bodywork.

Things got wetter each day at Cooly Rocks On after weeks of blue skies.
The last day dried up a bit at the end.

25K is a steal for splittie. Don't know what is up with that price.

These boys were banging out some raucous rock. Just 2 blokes. One on a bass and singing and a drummer. No guitar but sounded great. This was a metal/rock version of 80's Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus

Terrific stuff Loops. Thank you for sharing.
Love those Cadillacs from the 50's & 60's.
In post #10 is that a red Dodge Charger hiding behing the Ford ?
(Definitely not a Challenger.)
^Yes indeedy a Dodge Charger. There were quite a few Chargers there. 3 series 2 a series 1 and a couple of series 3. Fine American Muscle.
I like the little Hillman Imp.
Interesting band. Looks like the bassist is going full Cliff Burton. :tumbs:
Nice thread but a metal band without a guitarist? WTF?!?
And, with this, the whole rat-rod thing has officially gone too far:
Great thread though!
Finally a sunny weekend for Cooly Rocks On.
Last 2 years have been a bit damp.
Maybe spoke too soon though as we are only halfway.
Nice old XJ

What's with the rusty machines, Looper? Are they projects that haven't been started yet? Or it is some modern "cool" look down-under?
Great thread.
Rat Rods usually have this designer rust finish. The VeeDub has a carefully crafted multi coat worn off effect. The work of an artisan and not the weather.Quote:
