All it needs to make it worse is a huge double element wing.

Yeah, not sure how I feel about that one.

I think it's just few degrees off awesome

holy crap that's all metal? Say what you want about the styling, but it took some skill.

That may be ugly, but it's an impressive ugly. Took a lot of skill to make that.

You know, it may not look all that bad in a psuedo-DTM livery all race-prepped...

Group 44 or Rothmans paint scheme on that would look a little more than decent, I think.

Could be made cool with some work.

I'm kinda digging this one. The interior looks like a bomb went off, but I can totally picture it looking cool with all the chrome body bits back on.

Needs a factory hood and not that cheese grater setup. Rear flares are a bit too big. Interior work out the wazoo & I'd be searching the Painless Wiring catalog like it's going out of style after looking at that interior shot, just shotgun the whole thing with new cabling.

It has potential, for sure. I'm not real hot on green and white together so Group 44 is out, Rothmans never fronted a Jag did they? Might have to do research on that one.

Give it old school Brit racing paint job and an engine to justify the scoops.

Prep for your local 2WD stage rally

commence Group-B that never was style WIN

Ya know, Aussie, it may be time to start using more descriptive thread titles. I clicked on this thread not knowing what to expect... Could've been about the latest acquisition puking a rod, someone inadvertantly almost burning the compound down, or another Dancing Pedro.

Please, no more Dancing Pedro. Although the Jag is almost as disturbing.

The only thing that doesn't work for me is the hood. Other than that, it's got potential.

I'm in the "ug" group. It just doesn't compliment the basic lines at all, no matter how well he did the work.

No engine, no transmission, no interior, and at $900 he wants still more money. Can't say I'm too tempted, even if it's nearby.

Is it possible to have too much flare? Would look better as a coupe...
