Looks naff, reminds me of a vinyl roofs you got on 70’s/80’s cars.

Indeed. Does nothing for the 4GC’s compromised proportions.

If you like that you need to hunt out the build from UK guy that put an Honda S2000 F20C (240BHP) in to the coupe S600

These are 100 grand so anything less looks like a bargain in comparison.

The 'Double Decker' you show was the first one ever built, it had a 2mtr slide-out.

When it went into production (with Danby), the slide-out was only 1.4mtr.

This goes back to 2012/13, not new.

Danbury Doubleback. Never caught on, you don't really get much benefit from the added space, and when it's closed it really compromises the whole vehicle.

A mate is building this at the moment, should be lethal entertaining when it's finished.

You dont need to see that far directly ahead just before "tipping it in" surely?

If it’s a drag car then just look out the side and see how far away the wall is. If it’s just one of their mental burnout cars then it doesn’t even have to go anywhere lol

Bozwell that's him!
Good find.
Used to love read about his exploits trying to make that work.
He did a really nice job of it

"I've got a Rover SD1 with a Rolls Royce Meteor engine in it"

"Jesus! How long is the bonnet to fit that in there?"

..Okay.. My first thought was - How does one find a pair of XJ220 rims...

Then I read how much he paid for the engine

[james_TW]

I bet building it was mostly designs in his head that "he just knew"
