It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but you can't ignore the fantastic craftsmanship and finish.

Top job IMO.

I think it looks fantastic and as you say the quality of the workmanship is incredible. As for the cost - I'm sure you can add a few zeros to the £250!

really impresed with the interior, very modern retro feel to it, shame about the concourse feel to the rest of the car. i prefer things that do what they are supposed without having to spend a month with a toothbrush everytime you take it out of the 'box'.

the wheels ruin it IMHO, the rest is quite pleasant. Not too keen on the oversized arches etc, they seem to engulf the wheels too much. No lack of talent though, im sure

Gross. Not content with messing up modern cars they have to go and bugger up classic and vintage stuff.

Was it a classic or just a barge with wheels?

I think it is improved, for once a turd sucessfully polished

I know nothing about the make or it's rarity, but I sort of feel bad when I see an extremely rare car chopped about.
Nonetheless, that's a superb car by any standards, though slightly spoilt, IMHO, by the choice of wheels and the amount of chanelling and over use of chrome.
What a truly gorgeous paint scheme and finish though!





Cheers, Rorty.

I suspect we will be moaning about how all those Escorts/Cortina/Sierras got chopped up to make plastic kit cars in 30 years time!

I'm moaning about it already...moan moan moan moan......

I wish my Indy got 'stolen' and finished to a top spec and sva'd in 7 days like on Overhaulin'. At least they do things properly. I'd hate to think what Pimp My Ride would do with a 7. My car has no engine yet and they would probably give it back with no engine!
