My first thought was, 'That's grotesque'. But on a second glance it grew on me and looks like great fun. Would need a larger engine though.  ;)

Nice job, not sure about the colours but each to his own.
Wonder why they chose a 2.0 instead of one of the bigger engined variants.
Would have thought an explod would have provided a cheaper base car for this sort of work.

Hate the colour,  :o :o

Love the old fashion Nr. plate although it looks as if you would loose it going over speed bumps.

The Retro wheels does nothing for me.

Woulnt like to be seen in it might have to dress like "The Stig" ;D ;D

I can never understand why people fit these type of things. It's just an invitation for Mr Plod to stop you. They're illegal on cars after 72.

Built as a modern day hot rod

 ;D ;D ;D

With a 2.0 automatic? I wonder when hot rodding became about building the slowest car around ::)

That's the kind of thing that would be good for doing Czechwrecks or Staples2Naples... dumping it when you get there for a flight home :)
