    Hi everyone, was linked here by bmw156 . I hope you don't all think I've ruined it, but I've made it for myself so I don't care hehe

    Started standard, bought for £150 as a runaround whilst my mini was being fixed, its alot less clean than it looks in the pics:

    now my favourite styles are retro, shakotan and bosozoku, so thats the direction and influence behind the car...












    rear end will be going down further soon and some more of the gold meshes if I win them :P

    now I'm not a fan of the forced ratlook that seems to be popular now, so I tried to recreate a natural faded patina look, made easier by the fact I'd been using the bonnet to test paint

    I like the wheels and tyres. i like the car but i think the stuff on the roof is all too much it ruins it, i like it when they are tidy and simple, you can find some nice examples of sh!t looking cars

    like this isnt that bad:


    just hate the clutter stuff though, but its your car, keep at it

    Another member fairly local to me and a couple of other members which is nice to see. I'm from High Wycombe.

    Love the car, although I personally think it would look better with a minter paint job and no roof rack. However, its good that your doing your own thing instead of the boring GSI/GTE with speedlines (yawn!)

    Keep the pics coming

    tis shocking imo. mainly because you have effectively killed it. by that i mean your not going to be able to sell it afterwards so its destined for the scrapyard once you've finished finding bits of it to make worse
