I present you the Aston Capri, which simultaneously manages to offend both Aston & Ford devotees, while being worth less than either:





Recently auctioned for £3,500 (https://www.swva.co.uk/classic-car/aston-martin-volante-replica-based-on-a-ford-capri-1972/), the text says that the owner bought it for over £8k and then restored it.

Again more of an issue of design than workmanship (although some of the panel fits look a bit dodgy) - clearly much effort, love and money has been lavish on this.

The panel for is awful. ESP the fuel filler / rear bumper area. Is the drivers door full of dents ?

Agreed - the inside of the boot (esp) & door shuts are awful - am guessing that this was some kind of kit, where the builder was left to fashion them. Does anyone know the kit. Also notable that the nose appears much better fashioned than the rest of it, despite the finish of the front air dam having the appearance of being formed with an adze...

Am not sure whether there are dents or reflections on the driver’s door.

, wow , just wow ! Never seen anything like it

I wonder how much time / money has gone into that!

I believe 50k , the ad is on PistonHeads, check out the interior. Yours for 20 k

50 of drug money goes in and 20k comes back, nice and shiny and clean.

I find it amazing someone sees that kind of value in it, if I wanted to chuck good money at a knockoff Aston to roll around in I'd start with a shed money e46 rather than a 50 year old DD.

Yes its full of dents. Truly hideous pos if there ever was one. Needs taking straight to the nearest crusher. Or.. given to the local fire service and let Sam cut it up for practice..

The famous gt3 caddy van

[ambuletz]

I dont see anythng wrong with that, isn't modded badly (to a poor standard, or vulgar). perhaps could be posted in the misbadged cars thread.

The actual van looks fine, I was more getting at the big Porsche gt3 down the side.

You wouldn't make a very good drug dealer.

It may just have a GT3 engine in it. That would be something a bit special!

wouldn't be the first time someone's pepped up a vw van with some porsche, in fact if someone had dropped a vw van bodyshell on a 911 that wouldn't be the first time either!

Or maybe a support vehicle for a race team or race part supplier?

2 20 year old looking lads got out in workmens overalls in a Wicks carpark. I feel it may be a stock engine

That seems to be at the fine line of not badly modified... Just modified without taste.

Exactly .... it's not badly modified as it all seems to fit with nothing hanging or dangerous off but it's horrible

Ah, the age old debate of this thread: does "badly modified" mean the execution, or the taste (on the basis that the owner has ended up with
a gopping vehicle).

Badly modified for me ‘cos it’s tasteless

I do agree. Not badly modified for execution but for taste

Bolt on arches with standard alloys. Interesting.
