Actually, I like that now I've seen the daytime photo's. The current boy racer style is not usually my cup of tea, but I had a dream of doing something similar with a MK2 Belmont back in the day. Always preferred the look of a saloon modified in this way.


Don't like the tape though, can't you colour code it? :D

I think I'd lose the bonnet buldge, put a slightly more subtle rear spoiler on, get rid of the clear rear lenses and put on some decent rims. I am a fan of taking bits off rather than adding bits on, but I think that would tone it down just enough on the exterior. Then lose the harnesses and use that interior to build something with a comfort angle rather than trying to be race inspired.

if it was white, it would kinda look like an 80's touring car.

looking more closely at the daytime pictures,someones spent a lot of cash on that, it looks a bit :sick at first glance, but when you actually LOOK at it, thats gonna be cool as when its done imho.
good find!!!!!

i can see it now, painted white, hard pitching into a corner with the opposite rear wheel raised, and no body movement whatsoever! 8-)
