Badly modified cars thread Mk3

[Shnozz]

Bad perhaps, but a little part of me that always wanted to live out real life Outrun that I played in the arcade.

Outrun was great, do you remember ChaseHQ?

So you may have seen/heard about these body kits to make an X150 XK look like an F-Type?

https://www.grantleydesign.com/

One of the demo cars has turned up at BCA, it looks bloody awful even in crap BCA pics with fit and finish and paint quality looking every bit as good as you'd expect. It also says it has a "tapping engine" on the report, and although it's probably fine because they're noisy engines and the RAC inspectors are clueless, it's hardly going to help it's value.








Oh and the odometer has disappeared from the dash.

£10k price on their website to take a great car and ruin it, backstreet respray included in the price, bubbles in the paint thrown in free.

Bizarre conversion when F-Types can be had for very little coin.

No! One I need to look up in the classics perhaps.

As a kid I remember begging my parents for more 20p's to play Outrun in the sit in car at Lee-On-Solent amusements.

If thats the van I think it is, thats not badly modified.
Its either real or a very good copy.
Mmm appears to be the real deal.

I'd say so (I assume you're thinking Mk4)

You are probably correct

Poor Datsun

Those rear lights …

V8 240Z,what a mess

I was at a local country show today with the obligatory section for classic cars and one of the cars on show was an utterly original 240Z with pristine bodywork, interior, everything!

That thing /\ should be killed with fire, Twice!

Why have they covered the seats with their Nans net curtains?

I don't think we can really count that as it's a standard mitsuoka

Because it's considered the height of luxury in Japan to have lace covers on car seats, and often lace curtains in the back. It's quite common on things like Toyota Centurys.
