We've had this before, proportions don't work for me but the work in it is immense.

Yeah, I know what you mean Matt. I thought it had probably been up before from the age of the build threads posting, but couldn't remember seeing it.

It's actually growing on me the more I look at it. I still reckon the front wheel/arch opening could do with being a tiny bit further forward. It actually reminds me of a T-bird, love the roof and 2dr conversion.
I wonder what happened to the full kustom PA cresta with the roof welded on back to front.

Matt ^^ old rear screen was the new front screen, and had a consul capri back window?? sure it was being built by someone on the south coast - maybe aceadvice kev knows more? - it was an amazing chop that's for sure |

Hi! It was /is Mike Warehams from South Coast Kustoms, to the best of my knowledge it's still at the back of the garage at the back of the queue . He's put several more for himself together since starting that but the amount of repair welding on it was wearing him down so he's taken a break.

yeah, obviously regd. in a slightly dubious way. DVLA must have missed it mind, as its been re-regged in the last few years going by the XAS XXX plate.

i don't think its ugly at all. It just needs some classic looking wheels and an older looking interior and it'd be awesome

I absolutely love this car, it's superb.
And there's nothing wrong with reposts, I for one hadn't seen it before...

Good old DVLA , the number was taken off the car long before any of these mods ( I've known severalof its owners ) and it ran a 3.3 at one stage so looks like an input error on the cc. As for now ...
As an aside it was Mike Wareham who painted this car red over the previous yellow ( as shown in the first shot on the thread ).

I really, really like that. I'm not normally into this kind of thing, but that looks really nice. Just looks 'right' to me.
Huge amount of time and effort must have gone into it too...
