I don't know the background to the build, running gear etc, but so much work's obviously gone into it yet the finished article just doesn't work for me. Escort X pack-style box arches, Sierra(?) front and back bumpers and a ridiculous rear spoiler just don't work with the distinctive angular (pun intended) shell. Shame.

The bumpers are Mk4 Escort RS Turbo (or XR3i)

I don't know the car (although someone on here might), but I highly doubt that is badly modified. It's stupid low, so it's surely on air bags.

It looks a bit wild, but with drag radials at the rear, full cage and window net, I'd suggest on balance that this is probably a well made thing.

Happy to be informed otherwise though!

Inspired by Sbarro?

[talksthetorque]

That is spectacularly brilliant.
I don't care if I can't get in or out of it, or once I am in that I can't see out.
I want one.

^^ That's a monstrosity! Ford Cougar headlights, Vauxhall VX220 rear lights, and a big mess in between

I think it's based, or partly based, or something, on a Nova kit.

It's errm, quite eye-catching, isn't it?

[DocJock]

Yep, the main structure is a Nova.

Designed by Richard Oakes who also designed the Tramp beach buggy and the Midas kit car.

Err... No...

It's just a jetta shell cut up on a Beetle floorpan.

Looks like it's based on the kind of car you'd draw when you're five years old.

A normal Nova is a good looking thing,often people seeing one for the first time ask if it's a Lamborghini.
Originally designed for the Beetle floorpan and running gear in the 70s but other stuff has been put into them since.

[Pericoloso]

Someone post a pic of a "standard" Nova please.

Aye that the one! Nova! https://jalopnik.com/400030/the-shocking-nova-kit-... and ten years to make ^^
and for below

[Pericoloso]

That's the one.
I first saw one mid 70s,parked outside The American Way burger bar in Cheam,an establishment that still exists to this day.
Being a spotty teen,I thought it looked awesome.
I think I found out what it was from Hot Car magazine.
