I think that it was featured along with a green one in a copy of Retro Cars a couple of months ago. Have to say it is nice to see it go from standard to its current guise. Will be keeping my eye on this. |

Very nice. and ingenious crossing of marques with the suspension. Personally I'd have used a Japanese engine for the swap but then... its not my car!
Well done - its better than I could do!

Looks perfect, certain things i'd change but as Johnny said, it's not my car.
It does look actually spot on from the outside though.

it's awesome ;D the fact that it doesn't have a japanese engine, i think, makes it even more awesome  conformity is old.. |
