You know I will probably get lynched for this, but these restomods are leaving me a bit cold now. They are literally everywhere, on every car show. They are having to go further and further to make an impression (such as some of Dave Kingdigs work). I'm a massive fan of the less is more school (look at my modified Sagaris for example), but I'm seeing market saturation on this now.
I agree. Totally original or very mildly modded is more special than these things now.Im with you. Id rather see nice twists on original stuff. In 2015 i had a ta22 celica,and instead of engine swapping for a jap 2.0turbo, I built up a original to the car 2t engine ,using modern components and machining, electric dizzy and modern carbs. It made 130 bhp at the rear wheels. Sadly it got stolen,just after completion, but the point is, You want a classic to ACTUALLY be a classic,(but be a fun drive) not a new car with an old shell.

Sorry to sully this thread with an old All-Aggro but there has been a bit of love and graft put into this Alleg-eetle,
I don't like this "stance" nonsense but he's kept a bit of motoring history on the road. I wonder when those Fuchs alloys were little they said to mummy "when I grow up I'm going to be on a 1972 2.7 Carrera RS...."

They still never finish anything, and it's starting to wear thin on me too. He did sort the gearbox, then took the engine out to add turbos, that didn't go well (can't remember why), so he's now supercharging it. At least, he was in the last update. Can't comment on the windscreen, is it because if it has a windscreen, it must have wipers?
Yep, if it has a windscreen it has to have wipers, for an IVA it has to have washer as well if screen fitted, obviously no room in it for that!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiZIU54WYxw

Respect. Weird in a wholly acceptable wayI don't like this "stance" nonsense but he's kept a bit of motoring history on the road. I wonder when those Fuchs alloys were little they said to mummy "when I grow up I'm going to be on a 1972 2.7 Carrera RS...."

The link worked earlier this morning, doesn't exist now. Weird.
