    Alot of money and effort was put into this. I like the overall effect. The turnsignals in the headlight pod looks a little weird to me. Overall effect excellent.

      saw it this am... i usually love chrome/stainless, but the headlight rings look out of place without more - like the bumpers, etc...

          I love the rear fender treatment at the tail light end.

            I'm such a moss-draped traditionalist and I'm not a big fan of loud pedals BUT this I like a LOT. Not sure that if it had been my call that I would have done the interior exactly the same way; and its not the options or colours or anything like that. Its just that the seats are both too 'big' and too tame--something like a modern version of the later Avanti seats in orange and black leather with white piping <GG>> ie something lighter and curved, more in tune with the look of the basic car. The seats look they could be right at home in a much wider and 'heavier' vehicle, like some sort of Lincoln.

            The rear fender treatment is pretty darn good too. I have a small complaint about the taillights themselves. I think the look of the LEDs is great, but maybe something with a bit of a seamless curve over top instead of the flat bolted in look. Just a smoked curved plexi cover over the taillights would make it flow.
            And I do like the headlights as they are now.

            Otherwise, its a pretty stunning custom and a lot of money in.

                      Well done custom especially daring painting it black. Workmanship looks to be excellent. Headlamp & tail lamp treatments flow nicely with the original body lines.

                        The ridiculously large diameter wheels and rubber band tires have been around a while now, but they'll never be on my favorite cars.

                          Liked the overall concept of the car. Workmanship looks great. Detail is nice. Engine compartment looked wonderful.
                          But, I can't say I liked the interior.....it was all over the place. No theme! Round, square, old, new, chrome, billet,....just all bad!

                            Fabulous car. One of my favorite models. There was one that used to cruise Northern California that had a chopped top similar to the one on ebay. I just loved it. The ebay car is quite nice. I suppose the only change I would need if it were mine would be the headlights. I love the look, but for some reason these cars seem to "need" the forward leaning headlight rings. It offsets the sloping front hood.

                              One of my favorite models too, but not done up like this. To me most of what makes the wagon beautiful has been changed.
                              I he wanted a mini cooper, they sell them brand new.
