The back:


The details:
Quote:
Complete respray in Ford XR8 Blue
Complete custom Bodykit all round
Ford XR8 Headlights and clear tail lights
20" Chrome deep dish rims with Excellent Tyres
Push button central locking immoboliser alarm system
Lowered all round
Huge Stereo with DVD player and 2 x 12" Subs
Remote popper on rear door.
Fully carpeted rear
Race style bucket seats with resprayed dash.
Power windows, Air Conditioning and power steering.
Plus much more.

And I don't really think it's fair to flame.. everyone has different tastes.. not my cup of tea but I sure as hell can appreciate the effort that went into it, and the originality.

I'd rather stuff as unique as this than the same old cars with the same old bolt ons every day.

That woulda taken a fair bit of effort.. Doesn't really tickle my fancy, but hey. Each to his own.

If the front was sqaured on more it'd look a lot better IMO.

Excellent Tyres? Dammit, where do I buy Excellent Tyres from?

Bit silly-looking if you ask me. How much is he asking for it?

that would make a great parts truck, tradies van if you were a pin striper, detailer or mobile stereo installer.. It is eye catching and looks to be done properly

only thing missing is a METAL MULISHA or JET PILOT sticker, then it would be complete.

I am sick of seeing these cars, why the hell would you have racing seats in the damn thing, as if you would be able to take a corner fast enough to warrant racing seats in that thing!!!!!!!
