	This car that looks like a Mercedes was made by an amateur in the Soviet Russia in the early 90’s. The car was assembled from different Soviet scrap car parts. You've got to admire his welding skills. I wonder if he ever finished it?

	Impressive! The front end looks like a copy of the Mercedes McLaren SLR, so I think it must have been built 2003 onwards, after the USSR dissolved. I could be wrong there but if it's the same one I remember seeing many years ago it's based on a W126 500SE. Would love to know more!

	I think it was the same guy who built the ill fated Ekranoplan, the style looks similar! Paint would completely ruin the look of that car! Steve

	That is stunning. The exterior NEEDS to be left "as is", no paint, don't flat the welds, drop the whole thing in an electrolysis bath to draw the rust out of the metal, stick a matte lacquer over it and leave well alone. That car is just sexual chocolate.

	The wheels and tyres suit it perfectly too. Does anyone know what the triangle in the wheels is?

	Because it's NYD I'm tired and I was just quickly scanning through the pictures on my phone... I thought that shot was a screen grab off a video and the triangle was the 'play' symbol. I'm going back to sleep.
