Figured I'd share a few pics of the car from last week. The car and I were hired to be a part of an LG phone commercial being filmed at Paramount Studios backlot in Hollywood.

I love the simple looks of the original cars. Low and wide with no archs.
I drill holes in everything..! |

Thanks guys...My turbo motor has taken forever to build. But once it is in place, the car will remain stock-ish on the outside with a hot motor hidden beneath. And these tv/movie jobs are paying for the parts!

Nice ! Hasn't your car been in a film before as well ? It's been in 2 movies so far. It was used in Frost Nixon for a day. Though I haven't seen the film to see if it made the final cut. 
I also got to be a background extra in the movie as well. 
The car was also in a crappy teenager chick flick, Legally Blondes. They hired the car and me for 2 weeks. The movie trailer has a few shots of my car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv-sUdRjc-U 
The car also regularly gets jobs at an event called Lucha Vavoom, a mexican wrestling/female burlesque show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl2MPCFy5Qg And it sounds like the car may have another job this thursday. There is a movie filming in the mountains north of Los Angeles and they need a few 'old and weird' cars for the background. Living near LA has a few perks! ...other than the sun and the hot chicks! lol Edited by Lance Link on 13th May, 2009. 61 Austin Seven; building a 1275 'over the clutch' turbo, R5 T2'd, custom intercooled, megajolt electrified, canyon carver

And there was an amazingly beautiful hair and make-up girl. I chatted her up a bit but she disappeared about half way through the shoot... :( 61 Austin Seven; building a 1275 'over the clutch' turbo, R5 T2'd, custom intercooled, megajolt electrified, canyon carver

car looks really nice mate! the joys of LA! got any spare bedrooms for a week or 52? I hope not as well! She was a skinny little thing with blond hair done up with two little pigtails. Spare bedrooms? I wish! Space is a luxury when rent costs as much as it does here. I could rent a nice flat in London for the price of my place here by the beach! But I do have a spare couch if anyone wants to visit LA. You just have to come bearing turbo parts....
