I ran into a street sign in my Hyundai and held the left head light, front bumper and left front quarter panel on with cable ties, then proceeded to sell the car in this condition for $7,000. Actually felt bad about this for a while :X

The fuel pump broke on one of the work trucks at my dads farm , so rather than walk home we found a lamb bottle these types of bottles have really long hoses to put into the lambs guts when they wont drink , this hose went into the carbretter drained abit of fuel than used gravity as the fuel pump by holding the bottle out the drivers window

I knew this fellow a few years ago to fix rust on his 4x4 he just cut it out then riveted a new piece of metal over it, a cop goes to him one night

(cop) "u can`t do that"

(bogan) "why not they do it on aeroplanes"

Cut the rear springs in my commodore to the point the towing bar was scrapping on the ground.

- Used a length of rope to remount cooler... for 5 days

- Duct taped the drivers side of the front bar after a tussle with a gutter

- Used double sided tape to mount number plates

- Cable tied pod together

- Drove around with four completely different tyres for a month

... and probably more

Painted a mates old Mazda 323 banana yellow, with housepaint, it was a good idea after drinking a lot one summer. Didn't bother masking much of it up and did the edges of anything that needed to be clear with a paintbrush... it looked dodgy then, got even worse when it got new shoes which where some huge 16" knobby rally tyres and alloy rims (they got painted yellow too) and about a 2" lift with patented MK guard flaring with a 10lb sledge as a dolly and a big f-ck off rubber mallet.

Then it was proper dodgy.

[Guilt-Toy]

was on the way back from qld and when i got to coffs one of the rocker clips that hold the rocker into place the bolt stripped off and the only thing i could do was wrap electrical tape around the bolt and screw it back it.

It lasted months lol

[dori34]

cable ties are the way of life in the car scene

haha!

cable tie pod to keep it stable,

cable tie the front side & rear kit on cause i didnt have any screws,nuts or bolts..

tied the bonnet down with a piece of string coz latch was fooked lol

[rgr34]

a friend of mine had an old hilux (paddock basher) the passenger door swung open while driving and it snapped off of the body wear the hinges are attached, due to rust!..... we welded the thing on and it lasted another couple of years!

i have seen front bars that have cracked and had heaps of cable ties put in it to hold it together.

a few cars back i had a heap of hcips on the front bar and i was going to sell it so i got a can of touchup paint and just sprayed over the top of it without rubbing it back... or cleaning the bugs off. looked great afterwards.
