Looking for a DC2 or swapped EG and found this.....

I actually quite like that........I’ll get my coat.

I know what you mean - take off the stupid pipes and sort out some of the panel gaps ....

[Mikebentley]

I hadn’t noticed the pipes. I just think with a nice engine under that it could be quite the weapon. I also think from the rear shot it looks well executed even restrained. Panel gaps I can’t see well enough and at £999 there’s scope to spend a bit and make something quite special.

TBF @ £1k it certainly seem worth a punt

Poor Capri

[RJH777]

Am I reading that description right, Bullet kit?

As in it's supposed to make your Capri look like a GT500 Mustang?

Oh dear.

I spotted this rocket-car in Bristol

Must be part of a Grand Tour film surely?

Well, it’s certainly a distinctive paint job. At least it’s got cheap rotax!

Honestly, thats fine in my books. They got creative in a cheap car and probably had some fun with it and they are not trying to oversell it.

Surely 1980s Aston Martin V8 Volante? Certainly scared the Living Daylights out of me.

Yes it apparently makes it indeed look like an Aston V8 vantage

Nothing says "Gangsta! badass" more than a drop so low you can't actually get out of your mom's drive (you'll still be living at home, obvs) in your middle manager diesel E class





Hilarious pricing as well. MOT history would show that it hasn't actually moved in 7 years (except when the mileage went up a bit, then down again)....

The remains of the snapped tow rope hanging down at the back don't inspire me with confidence either

Doesn't belong on this thread, a lot of time, effort and money has been spent on that and i think it looks very well done, on air ride it'll be perfectly drivable.

I disagree, I think it has found its place here.

[Escort3500]

Time, effort and money doesn’t make it good.

I'm inclined to agree with you , word of warning we will be in a very small minority. I often feel like 99% of PH members have absolutely no understanding of hydraulic/Air suspension systems and cannot fathom that the owners will lower them to park and raise them to drive.

I also like the Baby Blue Honda Civic that was posted, the paintwork/bodykit looks pretty dam good, chuck a B16/B18 or go wild with a K20 engine swap and that thing will terrorise all kinds of PH "worthy" cars.

Don't think it's a lack of understanding of how the systems work it's more a case of why ? Most people don't get how a car that looks broken when static looks good, others like your goodselves think it looks cool. A bit like art and music really, we don't all like the same thing.

Sorry but it’s a bog standard E320 cdi that’s simply had an air ride kit fitted, failing too see where the time and money was spent, and for the dreamer price of just over 11k you don’t get these 1-off in the world bling 19” wheels in the pic.

Perfect for the ex vw scene boys

[Bobberoo99]

Well we'll have to agree to disagree, i can admire the individuality of the car, it's parked stance, the near perfect paint, a subtle but well done ICE install and the very nice wheels, it's far better than an over priced 911, white goods BMW or Audi any day.
