Pictures of decently Modified cars

Exactly.

And it looks reversible.

I think it's fantastic.

Despite being a big fan of Lotus' racing cars, whether FJ or GP or whatever, I think it's too easy to want every example to be as it left the factory.
Not that I'd want to do the 22 a disservice, but maybe I'd feel different if it was an 18, 25 or maybe 49.
Originality in itself is a debateable point with old racers anyway, since it's unlikely that there are any records of how much of the car is 'original'!!

Nope, I like it.

Ok here are a couple of pics of the first car I every built, The car was completed in 1981 and was my first attempt at fabrication, welding and spraying. Back in its day it won best paint at the Hayling Island show which was one of the top shows at the time and still is today. The current paint job is now over 20 years old. I have been involved in many builds since but have always kept this car as it was my first car. It is due for a complete rebuild later this year. Some of the mods include a 4 inch roof chop, hand made running boards, steel rear and front arches extended by 4 and 2 inches and a candy paint job. By the way the graphics were sprayed by myself and are not stickers as the odd wise arse has suggested, and yes they were the thing back in the day...

What car was the starting point for that, and do you have a front aspect shot?

The car is a 1968 VW Beetle, I do have some front end shots, I will dig them out later

Is it even a genuine one to start with, or a very good recreation

It looks very well done, I'm sure Colin Chapman would have loved it, right up his street.

Love it, I bet its a hoot to drive.

Looks nice, and great fun no doubt. I'm a big fan of it's sister car the Lupo.

[moleamol]

That SEAT is very nice and very well done. The comments on that site are ridiculous though.

I'll dig out the build thread for you later on..

There are some atrocities there.

I do rather like this one though, for some reason;

The Sirroco looks good imo

Its down to personal taste, asking someone to leave is just being ignorant.
