Rear fitment is ermm... illegal. Not to mention £2k for a ropey 5dr Mk3 is ridiculous

I think my favourite thing about this one is the lengths they've gone to i order to debadge the front grill, only to go ahead and put two stickers on top of the windscreen. Oarsum.

I particularly like the way the paintwork has been invisibly blended where the rear door handle has been smoothed.

it looks to me that the headlights don't sit flush anymore either

Some of you may be angry.

Words fail.....

I particularly am impressed by the gubbins in the boot being retained by multi holed builders galvanised joist restraints available at any branch of Travis Perkins!

My dad had an original 3.8S back in about 1966. I loved being picked up from school in that.

I perfected that, "Yep, it's a Jaguar, now get in your crummy Victor" look

I'm not angry, that's just ste. Looks like its held together with nails and chewing gum.

sadly there are elements of that that I quite... like may be overstating it but

I like that in some pics there are rear arch extensions, so that only the front is straight up illegal, and in others there aren't. Clearly been up for sale for a while...

So should this be here or the decently modified thread? I'm talking about the look, not whether it's well engineered. Over to you....

like bar the front axle

[phazed 11.83]

Can you imagine peaking out of that slot!

No, that's not a euphemism!

That needs to be either a) restored to its former glory, or b) crushed and given a more dignified life containing baked beans.

That's for Passengers to look out of, Driver is in the open cockpit. I think that is brilliant but I have a soft spot for chopped 'rods.

If that was done properly that'd be a lovely idea (I'm not opposed to that mish-mash of new and retro), but what an absolute shambles.

I know what you mean, it could have been quite good if properly done. The engine conversion is a definite plus, but the wheels and arches are just a bit too OTT. The quality installation of the air suspension, and the door cards replaced with gaffer tape make me wonder how long it will be before the engine attempts to fall out.

what in the..
words really do fail me, dodgy interior conversion, bin liner for door cards, the heinous air ride set up in the boot.
It's almost as if a blind monkey has put it together.




oh, wait. one has.

It's intriguing and imaginative, but I agree the front axle is carp. Crude, when the rest is carefully thought out.

In that picture only, remove the silly cat and the car looks really moody, I like, (the looks not the content!).

Needs a bit less tyre and a bit better fitment on the wheels, however I really like that.
