Nice to see the attention to detail, for instance the wheel arches aren't even cut round, they are several (bu not enough) straight lines.

Just think what he could have bought with that money...like a life

The bonnet shut line, between the headlights is nice, doesn't make up for the rest of it though

The guy who drives it knows that photos have been taken and isn't bothered. He must be the sort of chap (and he's only a young lad) who really couldn't give a toss what anyone thinks of him. Good for him

It's completey stripped out inside, all thats in it are the front seats and some of the dash. Maybe he IS going to put a 5.7l V8 in it... but I don't think so

For 6k he could have bought Salsa-kings scoob

Ah, I forgot - it's not been lacquered yet, and I've been told by the body shop guys that it will be "very bright" when it's done

More photos if it's done by the end of the day, but I'm away tomorrow. Hope I won't miss it

I'll have to approach the owner and ask him to fetch it back when he's finished it, but I daren't tell him about this thread, you ungracious set of rogues!

That thing is hideous! Oh well atleast he chose a nice dayglow colour so that the local constabulary can recognise him! lol!

For some reason corsa's seem to be the common choice for crazy conversions! read this thread for one that wee bit wilder!!!:

what a shed!

650 Kgs of filler = £800
300 hrs of labour @ say £25 per hour = £7500
3 Hectares of sandpaper in various grades = £1700
2 tins of green spray paint from Halfords = £5

And the entertainment value that you give to people who see it... priceless!

When are they going to shape the flared arches to the car so that they dont look like tons of filler?

That must be costing a small fortune!

its not my type of car personally but good luck to the bloke if he's put alot of time into his car, and if he likes it.. then who cares what anyone else thinks?

At least the bloke is doing something useful with his time and money, better than going out sniffin' it up your nose like some of these youths.

Default Did you ever see it again???

The "worst corsa ever" thread reminded me of this one

I was just wondering was it ever spotted again??
Wonder how it looked in the end.
