Meh. It will be fixed, it's not like it is the first time the car has been damaged.

Shame to see a T2 in a mess but it'll fix. Much better being used than sitting in a museum.

They'd have to make some drastic changes to the background scenery to make it look like 1976.

Doesn't look bad at all. Nothing major atleast.
Look at the damage from the btcc last weekend for example.

They'd have to change all the advertising, the dress sense of the crowd, take away all the chain link debris fencing and most of the kerbing along the footpaths. The yachts in the harbour were also quite different back then and some of the older buildings have been replaced. I'm sure they could do a lot of that with CGI but the look of the place has changed quite a bit since 1976.

I'm sure they could do a lot of that with CGI but the look of the place has changed quite a bit since 1976. The CGI is at such a level these days, it's eminently doable. If you've ever seen the behind the scenes doc on the making of Gareth Edwards Monsters feature film (he has a speciality on inserting road signs and backgrounds into his shots) that were not there, done on a (admittedly powerful) home PC, with a studio budget, I don't think Howard would have taken the gig on without thinking this all through. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
