I'd love to see their painter do a full on trad lowrider. That paintjob ain't a million miles away!

Wonderful! Absolutely all of it. A lot of time has been spent on that paint.  I love the details and I'd want to wire that tacho in. I think that's the best bit. Absolutely pointless. ;D |

I think it is wired in it's reading diffferently in two of the pictures. Also I think the thingy in the bottom right corner of the  end below the bumper is the shift light  edit: GAAAAH CURSE YOU BIZZLE |

Hmm, I'd probably suggest it's a cursory brake light to stop anyone else rear-ending him.

I think it's a humourous nod to a serious mod common amongst drag cars. Wow, even if it isn't that was a fairly satisfying bit of alliteration. Anyhooo, on things with tiny cranking batteries and airtanks for shifters and so on it's not uncommon for an external gauge showing battery volts or PSI of the shifter tank so the crew know to hook up the life support. Sorta like this  That tacho's hillarious, though... either the guy's got a brilliant sense of humour and doesn't mind swingin' low for others to see... or his crew chief reckons he's been changing up at pussy revs and wants to keep an eye on him ;D Either way, moar metalflake FTW EDIT for apalling spelnilg |

that is immense. that revcounter in the rear end is so crazy its fantastic. just to tease anyone following, daring them to beat that. of course a speedo in the rear could be a lot of fun  oh and that paintjob  |

That's just amazing. Stance, wheels, body mods, everything. And then THE PAINT I could look at that for hours just taking in the detail. I really hope the rev counter does work, I'd be a little sad if it didn't. And if it doesn't then someone needs to build a car with one that does. I thought muscle cars with bonnet mounted rev counters were the coolest but now... I think it's a humourous nod to a serious mod common amongst drag cars. Wow, even if it isn't that was a fairly satisfying bit of alliteration. That's a rhyme, not alliteration |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Of course, I missed the chance to do GCSE English so never had the opportunity to add literary style discourse to my array of A-stars  |

This Japanese obsession with all things 'shark nose' is fascinating! Those guys could put a shark nose on a wheelbarrow and still get away with it. This whole genre is very reminiscent of the 70's custom scene over here.
