That’s just lovely. Like that these guys take less popular cars to mod, rather than the usual Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers etc

Nice to see a yank with half decent wheels rather than the oversized, blingy, chrome monstrosities that Richard Rawlings and Chip Foose put on.

That's pretty impressive, was behind a gold wrapped mercedes last year and the sun reflecting was blinding.

Was in two minds wether to post this in the badly or decently modified thread chose decently as it's more a homage than replica.
Produced in Kenya using an MR2 as donor, back in the day it was shoddy F355's reps from MR2's which cost almost as much to do as buying the real thing second hand.

Ahem, a perfect candidate I'm sure we all agree - and for anyone who doesn't know, still looking for a new owner I believe.

Phil Morrison/Driftworks Murcielago. Converted to rear wheel drive, with a manual box also. ITB's, full Reiter GT1 bodywork from one of their LM entries. Custom wheels, widened rear 3/4 panels. The amount of work that's gone to make that kit work is insane, whole new suspension arms, hubs etc etc and it's road legal.

I really like the Driftworks builds but agree the Murci is next level. Hats off to Phil and his crew and especially the guy they use for the bodywork. Stunning.

Yeah that is a hell of a car. I read somewhere that the suspensions is 34 (or 38) way adjustable. Bonkers.

Lambo's aren't my thing but that's an incredible build. Even getting the doors to work was an engineering masterclass.

I love this thing. It's influenced my own far lesser build (#bmw16v02) and is just about perfect in my eyes. I'd take this over any modern supercar.

That is quite an amazing looking car.

I've sat in (although never driven) a Murcialago, the last thing I ever thought it needed was extra width!

Small-minded I know, but anything with Driftworks in the title makes me switch off very quickly.

Shame, as it seems to have an insane amount of work I would normally appreciate.
