Apart from being a Ferrari replica, the dubious paint work (see the poor masking around the Ferrari sticker!) is terrible.

Don't think I've posted this one yet...

Prices on FN Civics must still be out of some peoples' financial reach. So what if you own an EP Civic but want to fool everyone behind you into thinking that you own the newer model?

WTactualF?!

It's in the same vain as misbadging, anyone who notices will think you're a 'tard, everyone else won't take any notice/ know any different.

I'll just put this here - It looked to have been done quite well. But just not sure why.

If I were to say "I like that", would I be made to go and stand in the corner?

If you are, I'll have to come with you. I don't think that belongs in this thread as its done rather well if you ask me.

Have to agree, its not a badly fitted 355 body kit on an MR2 with hideous panel gaps.

Agreed, that looks lovely. Won't sound right though!

It's true it wouldn't sound "right", but assuming it has the appropriate carbs fitted, a straight six on Webers doesn't sound bad at all!

I would lose the Ferrari badging, though.

Unfortunately I do not have a photo of it, but at the Cobham Services meet last night there was a BMW 318ti (I think) that was part way through being converted to a ute. It had a piece of 2x4 as a strengthening cross member!

TI - that would be a compact.

Why on earth would you pick a compact if you wanted to build a pickup?

That's the one, and I have no idea! Was fairly ridiculous to say the least.

Indeed wood is stronger than we give it credit for and perfectly adequate as a chassis material, I'm sure it'll be oakay.
