Surprised the wheels didn't crack the lense of the camera.... they offend me so much.

Car looks mint apart from that, specially like the wee gauge pod inside, is it custom or does a company supply that??


Cheers,
Grant

I had 17" Venoms on my old Orion (first car) 11 years ago now. It was when 17" were considered massive and Venoms had just come out

Looks nice mate just bin the wheels and get more sensible Exhaust imo

I can tell u how its made, that part is the front of a passenger side door pocket thats been cut and shaped to fit by just filing the side to fit. Easy as anything to make.

looks clean but as said above change the rims and defo get rid of that cheesy steering wheel, put a nice 4 spoke rs one in it, that oil pressure gauge seems to read a little low when its ticking over.

Looks real nice mate.

Wonder if Venoms (and 3 spokes) will be in demand in the future, like in 20 years when people are building 'period' style cars, like people are doing now with Mini's and Mk1 Cortinas etc.....

hahaha now you mention it, that truly is a door pocket cut and shut. so much for a super rare limited run custom gauge holder though

cool idea none the less
