Yeah, very well done. Well done, like vomiting into a thimble.

Full points for effort, but the short, sharp, jagged lines in the grill and bumpers look atrocious.

The lights don't look right either.

But, as I said, full points for effort.

They could have at least upgraded the motor, that thing would go slower then a snail with all the extra weight the added, top effort, but all show and no go = major rice.

That was on eBay for sale last year, I think the guy wanted $12,000 for it. At least it doesnt look like all the other boring white vans on the road.
