Hi All
(Waves to Don Solo) Some of you might already know me from The Jedi Assembly or Rebel Legion or Yoda's News or one of the many other SW sites I frequent.
I'm Jedimom, also known as Carol in the mundane world.
I have a 1992 Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan which right now has a few decals and a load of Lego minis on the dash (pics will be posted later)
Funny thing about the shape of this van is it looks a lot like an Imperial Shuttle...But I'm afraid that would just be way too tall for bridges and McDonald's drive thrus.
Anyways! Don't have lot of money -- right now don't have any in fact LOL. But I would like to do something with her to make her stand out even more than she already does.

Welcome aboard! I always thought the Silhouette would make a good "Star Tours" type Starspeeder from Disneyland: www.maj.com/gallery/R4P17DC/fbtbprofilework/star_tours-starspeeder_3000.jpgThe Plymouth Transport would work as well;http://i8.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/7f/2d/b4_1.JPG I do hope you realize that you are adding another addiction- car modding- to that of Star Wars... But we're glad to have you...

Oooo.. what a neat ride. Have no idea how to do it. I was trying to do some laser canons when I remembered the body is fiberglas and magnets don't stick to it...

lol I'm giving people ideas now lol (magnets). fiberglass huh? well - here's a concept photo. I know it's not the same car but it's the only frontview I could find. we can rebuild it - we have the technology lol I based the image off of the model ship I bought at disney - you can take off the top and whatnot, pretty cool. I may be able to get some control panel pics and whatnot, I'll look.

That would look great as a SS3000! First step would be repainging it white though...
fiberglass body? Man, that's odd. I wouldn't have guessed it.

Cool. I like it. Now how would we go about doing it on a very very very very very tight budget? Electical tape?

hey it worked for me, it could work for you lol. (now you're just going straight from my ideas aren't you lol) probably the most expensive part would be the r2 dome - I have no idea how to make one. pvc for the cannon - I just bought a 10ft peice for lightsaber construction at 2 bucks. my cannons were actually on sale - golf club tubes at walmart, very light weight and 25 cents a peice. they don't sell them here anymore...
ellectrical tape usually runs 3-5 bucks a roll. it took me 5 rolls of white to cover my entire car. for the MINIMAL ammount you would need to do to yours maybe 3 blue... tops... 1 yellow, 1 black, 1 grey (optional), and 1 orange (optional) and then with the last 4 you'd have spare for touchups. now the hardest part to DO on a tight budget would be the box engines on the back and the boxy thing on the top. I very conveniently had a very tough foam available to me but I doubt you have the boxes from "keyboard pc's" lying around... orange seat covers (buying) would be hard to find but (making) very easy, just need to get the fabric. god if I lived closer lol fun weekend project...
