the lights are kinda hard to see, would they just have been recessed int the body? never seen that before.

the wheels do suit the car, they're nice

Anyone else notice the lack of handles on the thing too? even the boot
Those flames are very well done, I like them alot. It's a good buy at 6k but what are the legalities of a car with no door handles?

Look at this pic

as far as i know.... if you shave the door handles you must get them engineered...

the flames are quite nice and especially the interior flames on the door cards...

I think the wheels are off later models of Gemini TF TZ or something?

Notice it comes without rego or roadworthy ie no door handles is illegal....

I dunno. For 6 grand, that's still respectable for the amount of work that's gone into it. The engine bay looks fairly neat( the plug leads are a dog's breakfast though).

If it had disc brakes, I'd buy it.

Bet ya it's got absolutely no engineering approval, and it's totally screwed his plans.

The car is not my cup o tea, but i can't appreciate all the work that has gone into it.

I'd say he would have door poppers on the doors. Push the central locking button doors open just enough to get your fingers in to open. My guess on the tail lights would be a ford escort panelvan, they look very familiar.

when you think aboout it.... no engineering , no rego........ $$$ just adds money onto the $6000 he wants
