It's OK, I will leave now. getmecoat
It certainly is NOT badly modified!
Yeah, its very badly modified.
If that was what he was going for, then it is very well done. I cant see anything wrong with the workmanship!
The quality of the workmanship is impossible to tell from that one picture.

Ah, the periodic argument on PH about what comprises “badly modified”.

A lot of the examples posted here are probably mechanically sound but still look st. This one is a good example of that, although I’m not sure how you conclude from a photograph that the workmanship is satisfactory.

Awesome. Nice post rash down the near side. Must be a good alternator though, running all those voltmeters.
What makes it funnier is that none of them agree with each other smile

Don't let Gerry McGovern see that or else it'll go into production as the new Jag Pickup. At least they won't have to bother with the legendary JLR build kwality.

Indeed. Is it the aesthetics or the execution?

About three weeks ago, the above would be a strong contender in this thread.

Now? Seems like the most sensible car anyone could want!

Not keen on the back but the rest looks ok.

I know they did a lot of special edition Corsas but hadn’t heard of one of those

Don’t understand why people badge like this unless it’s for a joke !
Back in around 1998 I was looking for a new car for my 'commute' to work.
In the end I bought a TVR Tasmin but had considered an old Rolls Royce and was going to re-badge it BMW as a joke for my colleagues in the German Office where I was working.
Decided that the 750 miles to work @ 10mpg was not a good idea.

But the TVR Tasmin was the right tool for the job? I like your thinking but I'm not sure I could replicate your workings...
