Just noticed the reg plate, if thats not "show only" its well cool.

[rallyesport04]

stunning car not too sure on the bling rims tho

[RossMK2]

well its differentish

[stuartp]

actually thinking about it, i don't like the wheels, the rear arches, the mirrors or the front seats

 

don't know anything about the engine but i'd personally rather it had a ford one in it

 

i do like the colour and the quality and it's obviously a serious motor

[RossMK2]

its orite i think think its one of those things that grows on you

[Arrie]

I've driven worse - I like it, not sure on the wheels - but being different, its what make it stand out from the rest.

[Copey]

i like it

 

at least the wheels have a dish, unlike a lot of modern rims!

[gpcmatric]

Wheels are such an important part of a car and these just look crap!!!!

[EscortHeadCase]

Imagine if those were 17-18" x pack style 4 spokes.

 

[caprinerd]

each to there own wheels aint to my choice but then it aint my motor

[ekjim]

I love the engine transplant, would love to up to the 2ltr nissan engine maybe with a next project if it happens!

 

I wasnt expecting as many people to say they like it, personally, Im not 100% on the interior but other than that I like the idea

Not my cup of tea really

[samurai]

I like the fact that he/she has looked after the motor to keep it in top condition and they have not messed up the bodywork

[ekjim]

Here is a pic of the car before it was silver...

 

And a few from monday night, these stripes have just been added, really starting to like it

i reckon it it looked nicer in white (this coming from a man who chose an almost identical silver for his own mk1) or maybe it's just that i prefer the wheels it had on it then

[bigglesmk2]

Its marmite ...

 

 

 

 

 

...me no like marmite

[l j shaw]

Lets hope he does something that will improve the car ...and soon

[Billy_smith]

i think it looks the bollox when it was white

[RETRO_AL]

Wheels look far to big,not my cup of tea, put some 15inch on there would be a lot better

[Michael Poulsen]

Damn that is one sweet ride. something similar is what i would like to put my consul trough, apart from the engine. Very very cool. defenetly dig the wheels.

 

Good work

[mk1mexico]

Looking again it looks like a life size 'modified' model that you sometimes see on Ebay

[qwerty]

I really like it. The Ozzy's really know how to build old cars with modern wheels!

[Mr Sam]

love that

 

apart from the wheels they just look cheap and tacky ad dont see how they would look good on anything

[fullbrek]

Talk about bling, doesn't look too bad with the DUB rims but the bodywork and colour are very nice. Aint too keen on the leather or the Nissan motor, was never a fan of crossbreeding, beleiving that a ford should have a ford motor. But thats just my opinion.
