F'ck me that's an unpleasant thing to look at. Yikes.Nickbrapp said:
Not sure if anyone is aware, but those Ford grilles have a specific relevance.Typically you find them on F-150 pick-ups, but you only get the big letter one on the Raptor models. So there is a pretty big aftermarket in replacing F-150 fronts to look like Raptors. However, clearly 'Ford' is trademarked and in this particular style and format, its something that Ford themselves want to protect. So you cant (well you can, if you look around) find these grilles for sale - Ford legal is all over the online places, so you will find them misspelt or missing a letter, which will oddly be delivered in a separate package to avoid the legal trouble.
Reason to mention this? Someone went to a lot of trouble to get that Ford logo on a non-standard part. Which makes it even more tragic....

Ooh, almost perfectly awful - just needs "lambo" doors. "This vehicle was sat for 12 years in storage after its original owner requested the current engine swap and after completion of the work didn't return to collect the vehicle."
Sensible decision.

Looks like a decent job even if it’s awful by todays standards.

+1. And it seems rather well modified.
I really wouldn’t mind spending the summer swanning about in that.
What is / was it ? I also like the look of it I really wouldn’t mind spending the summer swanning about in that.

I sort of respect how much effort the third person went in order to do something as ridiculous as to move the celica engine from the front to the rear.I know this car. It's owned by my brother's girlfriend's friend's uncle. This is a Celica bodykit on a Ferrari 360 and it's a top-quality conversion. They've even put the Toyota badge on the steering wheel for authenticity.
