yep, same car with a few tiny mods, mirrors and shaved side repeaters, oh and an aerial in the middle of the hood (bonnet).

it has actually taken me about 4 weekends to do including all bodywork and prep. considering it rained for 2 of those its not a bad job, and it was done with rattle cans :D

would you believe it was my 9 year old son that suggested it!

to get it centred you do have to cut up the hood a bit as part of the brace is in the way, but does look very cool.

remember you saw it here first :wink:
