looks ok, better then the original car which is it based on, a bit funny also, not bad if your looking for such jeep-ish car, but then want to give it a 'personal' touch a bit different.

To my mind, they're hardly close enough to look like fakes, more a tribute to the cars. If anyone knows what they're aiming at I'd say they'd raise a smile. Others would be clueless to their inspirations.

Spoilt slightly by the shorter doors IMO, always thought the proportions look off when rear doors are deleted, like when people used to convert 4dr Impreza's to make 3dr reps

just came across this one for S, looks like a lot of work that went in, almost not recognizable, its almost cheap... ok a bit red leather, but wow, looks not like a 1965 car it looks 'great' maybe not vor everyone's liking, but not a bad job.

1965 Vauxhall Victor FB Restomod Hot Rod 4.2 V8 4WD

The corrosion resistance of a 60s Vauxhall coupled with the reliability of that Audi V8. What could possibly go wrong?

But seriously, it’s great to see that people are still willing (and able) to do this sort of thing and I don’t think the price is unreasonable considering the effort.

base a Ferrari 360 F1

now a Sbarro Alcador GTB F1

not seen it before, only 3 were ever made, but then for a Sbarro built thats about normal.

some angles I think it looks ok, or special, enough F 360, and this one very rare, not really expensive at 175k euro.













so far so good, ok the interior could have been better though, but...

You're right, from some angles it looks pretty good. Rear is a mess, are they Fiat Seciento rear lights?!?!

Can you get a 2 litre tdi front wheel drive r8?

While I don't necessarily see the point I admire the effort.

5 years to build something that as soon as you start it fools nobody, utterly pointless

Also I sure that amount of chassis changes would not be legal in most countries
