seen worse, it benefits from looking like somone has at least put some effort into the finish, something that some dreadful 7's lack!

Fair comment Rob but the proportions are all wrong, arse is too long, bonnet and nose are too large and square.

looks a bit like a Vindicator sprint.

What do you lot expect, just listen to the music in the background. It probably sent the builder insane:)

shh120m 13th December 2011 07:58 PM

ayjay 13th December 2011 10:07 PM

Ugly it may be but if mine ends up looking as good then I'll be well chuffed:o

AshG 13th December 2011 11:43 PM

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.:)

Cyberbeej 14th December 2011 10:26 AM

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.

will_08 15th December 2011 08:43 PM

Looks like the love child of a chrysler 300cc and a haynes :eek:

as said built to a good standard by the looks of it

robo 15th December 2011 09:27 PM

Should have gone to specsavers:D :D

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.

Toyotus 1st January 2012 02:44 AM

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)
