What a bout get an empty spam tin, araldite it to the bonnet, and you have a scoop?

Or comb the cat, roll up the fur into balls, hang from rear view mirror - voila, cheap fluffy dice!

Pop rivet a surfboard to your boot lid for a unique Porsche style whale tail.

Any other non specific questions we can help you with?

if u got sle rims polish them up with silvo or some polish shit they look good

i made a shitter tx look good when i had myfirst car by doing little things like that, seat covers... all the cheapie shit

ok for a start grab a hold of a normal large screw driver a small screwdriver and a small filipshead + one heheh.
go look for some crazy car at the train station without an alarm jam the large screw driver in the side oof the lock pop the bolt out flick the lock up. get urself a nice stereo and some speakers either start the car if it has good mags or anything else u wish to have drive it off and strip.
now i know some people that do this and u can get some quite good stuff. ie stereo guages and mags and shit
thats a money saving tip rite there get dodgy freinds
Smile

i do and it saves me heaps of money some examples
- saas gt style steering wheel $20 - the boss kit
- autometer tachoe with shift light and rpm recal $50
- vdo dayton cd player detatchable face $ 30
- variouse speakers of all shapes and sizes hell cheap

some of the fine money saving things u can get from shoping around people heheheh
cheers....

Get your angle grinder out and chop your roof of and then u will have a mad convertable. that way u will save money on the glad wrap for your sunroof

stealing stuff sucks man Sad

some poor bastard probably worked his arse off at someshit hole of a job to buy his mad new guages and then someone flogs them..

not everyone has insurance... and not everyone that gets stuff stolen got it bought for them by their rich mummy and daddy, cars included.
