That's the least-well-proportioned vehicle I've seen in quite some time.

I don't think it's all that bad... the V6 ruins it though.

Premium Sound System.

And the point of that is?

Reminds me of chitty chitty bang bang.

Basically it's a Cortina innit?

It'd be cooler if it had been left as a Cortina.

There are some things that we just shouldn't do. Hot rods is one of them.

Edit: I'm sure I must have missed something, but if it's a V6, why has it only got a 2 branch manifold?

Opinions - who'd have 'em! Personally if I had a hot rod (I was toying with the idea not long ago, to be fair), it'd have to be some form of ridiculously loud V8

As someone who grew up in the 1970s when custom cars and hotrods were the business

that is an appalling mess.

It is also only a few miles from me.

I won't be investing so i am declaring myself OUT
