I'll wait until I see it in person before I pass judgement.

I think it proves you can improve a holden by using ford parts.

I'd do away with the chrome "whiskers" on the boot and on the sides, but I'd happily drive that car.

Personally I reckon a change in wheels would instantly improve that car.

What was saved from the original car? Most of it looks like it went into the bin.

Agreed, and even with the new pics it still looks like rubbish.

so do i, a nice normal set of 19s or 20s... but then that would sort of defeat the purpose of building something so out there.

Minus all that stripes and crap floating on it. It could look alright with a new badge in the grill and some decent wheels.

Agree about the wheels.

While I certainly don't think the design is all that great, the workmanship is very inspiring. The owner/ builder certainly has a lot of skills with metal work. So some people don't like it and bash it every chance they get. How about those people show us pictures of cars they have built from scratch. I'm not saying you have to like it, but, you know the old saying, "If you can't do better......".

Atleast the owner had the balls to give it a go. I'm sure he created what he envisaged.
