the guys that built it are registered on here they put up a build thread a few years ago. its quite impressive when you see what poo they made it out of. if i remember correctly it started of as some poop 4x4.

at the end of the day they did the best they could with what they had and my hat has to come off for that.

Fair enough, but, they could at least stuck to the general car shape that would have not called for any extra input or what was available to them. Look at that silly front fenders that is not even a proper radius not to mention that ugly square thingy on the front of the car.....

At least it got finished and that counts for some kudus as many a car build by individuals does not get completed.

The square nose is the only bit that looks out of place. I've seen way worse.

Should be interesting to drive if the badge is correct.

Personally I think anyone that builds a car from scratch from various donors/parts & makes it work deserves respect.

Saw build thread for it on other forum I'm on regularely, locostusa. IIRC it was built in philipines and much like saturn, mk, stalker, ect it used components from manufacturer there. I did skip through it very quickly, so I may have missed some details, but that nose isn't just like that for looks, the frame is VERY square in front.

Wow am I playing into the 'ignorant american' stereotype! It was Saudi Arabia. Not Phillipines. And it was that wide due to 3l v6, not a kit nose as I stated. They really did do a great job all things considered. They even stated they wished the car would've turned out better but only had 850/month salary (royales)
