Not for me. The arches are ok if that's the look your want but he is clashing that look with a Lotus Cortina and then its not even that. Its a 2.8 V6 but still has the Lotus badges. Im totally OK with Lotus replicas if they are true to the original but melding two different styles and pretending its powered by something it isn't just gets a big thumbs down from me.

Looks mean, not sure I am sold in the lizard eyes though. 

No the lizard eyes freaks me out. I hate it when cars stare back at you.

Mk3 (or possibly 4, it's been butchered so much it's hard to tell) Escort.

Mexican Gerbils quiz thread sparked some interesting discussions about the Australian Ford Capri (Sometimes referred to as the Mk4 Capri or Mercury Capri). Often maligned for its looks even when standard, they can be made to look quite nice with the right wheels, but, yes you guessed it, many more make a hash of it. Take a look at this beauty.

That’s got to be the ultimate in tackyness 🙀🙀

One thing I have learned from this thread is that its pretty low on the tackyness scale really! A lot of work went into those stripes that's for sure.

I wont try and explain myself. Itd just look like back pedaling 😁

No need. I can see the appeal. Its pretty distinctive and unique. Alot of detail went into it. I think it would have worked better without the vinyl roof. I almost put it into the Unique, Rare or Prototype or 4 Door threads.
