Home made Lamborghini Countach
Discussion
but mines not working due to work blocking images, I'll take a stab at it though i'm guessing green Lambo Built in some guys basement and they removed a wall to get it out?.I think it took him 10 years to build.
Imagine on the first drive some spaz in a corsa isn't concentrating and rear ends you! Thats always what I thought about hearing about guys building Ultima GTRs in like 3 years, if I was this guy and spent 10 years of my life building something I would lose my mind if anything happened to it!

It's like someone I know in Germany. He got to 60 and retired, wondering what to do to fill in the hours. He had never worked in the motor trade but serviced his own cars all his life. So what did he do? Well, he started with this:-
After five long years of work, he finished up with this:-
He rebuilt the engine, made the buck, made the body (no, it's not fibre either), had the screen made but made the surround himself, in fact apart freom the spraying he did it all in his garage at home. I'm writing up the story for a monthly at the moment. The car has already done 1,500 miles without problems.

With regards to the Lambo/Chevy, I can't help but think that if he'd spent the 10 years worth of build time in a second job, he could have earnt enough to buy a real Countach....
Not really the same is it now?Interesting Hobby + Sense of achievement OR Work extra (probably mind numbing) job & buy a car.

Surely you "build" a Lamborghini Countach because you want one but can't afford to buy the real thing. So you build a copy, a replica. One that looks like the real thing or as close to looking like the real thing as you can. It's not going to offer the Countach driving experience as it isn't one.
No one would bother building a replica MX5 in their garage. If they wanted one, they could just go and buy the real thing (or save up for a bit).

That is lovely - wonder why he put such inappropriate wheels on it?After five long years of work, he finished up with this:-
