Thought it was a replica at first And is that a scorpio grill?

I quite like that, I don't think it would be where I would spend £12k though - even though it looks like its been done well.

To me its nasty - but you also have to appreciate that it looks like its been done really well, rare to see that kind of custom design these days, each to their own someone has put a huge amount of effort into that.

Don't like the mini headlights or the shitty grill but apart from that i quite like it. As others have said it looks like it's been done well.

I don't think its that bad but I wouldn't want it , the work that's gone into it is immense though and I'd love to see it various stages of the build.

Scorpio grille and MINI headlights. That front end works surprisingly well!

Needs a better choice of wheel and making the overall design look a little more aggressive and it would look surprisingly quite good.

Yeah it may have been finished to a high standard but there is no excuse to be using parts that don't even look right on it.
I like custom cars too and been to plenty of hot rod meets and annual shows with the old man. and have been bought up tinkering with hot rods with him over the years. But that isn't following any sort of modifying era 60s, 70s , 80's from any scene. It's just a proper miss match!

To me it could have been something that crazy lepo has made.

The Yellow one would be nice if it was a more neutral colour and it didn't have the lights.

To everybody saying that he's butchered a classic - the car may well have been on the scrap heap if he hadn't done something with it. Agreed it may not be to everyone's taste but at least he's kept it on the road.
