Got to admit, it looks pretty good to me. In fact, its inspired me to look at doing something similar a bit later on in the year.

Personally, I'd go Miami Vice white myself, with a chocolate brown leather trim, and charcoal wheels obviously smile

I'm not one for mud slinging and i'm sure its a nice job but the ride hight was the first thing that caught my eye, it looks to have about 10" clearance above the rears!getmecoat

the ride height could be the result of matching the rear deck height to the rear panel and arches from the sag, or it could just be the suspension not fully setup yet..


i thought it looked good.

I thought that it might not be set up yet but the owner talks about how happy he is with handling so figured this was done, i suppose the pictures could be from before the set up!
How a car sits on its wheels and tyres is such a big factor in its overall look imhosmile

Top effort by the bloke and I guess if it floats your boat - fair enough.
There seems to be a bit of a trend to create cars from bits that never existed. Think we have had a Tamaris, now a Sagamora - what next.

Chimora
Chagaris
Tuscaris
Tuscora
Cergaris
Cermora
Etc etc .

Personally, not for me.
I'll stick with the originals.

I like the colour, ride height is too high for me, and I don't like the black round the front vents and the rear wing or 3/4's of it ? But fix these issues and I would have one (Spiders though please)

Plus one!
Rear is way to high, and the rear wing is all wrong.
Fair play to him for doing it himself, I have a tugaris project underway but I'm leaving it to the plasticman!
I'd be interested to know how he got the extra track width

Sort of this, I can see why 'op' posted getmecoat
I've looked at these again and again and for me it doesn't work getmecoat
The only conversion I've seen that actually looks good is the Tuscan to Sagaris
Mammoth task by owner no doubt and credit for sticking with it, but dare I say,,,,,,,,,,,,,, not for me getmecoat
