Parts of that I really like.
Just not sure which parts.
I do like the rocker panels. Tastefully understated. _________________ '80 924 n/a SOLD |

Those f'erglas rear hatch replacements appear to add too much to the rear. I wonder if they work better on a dark car - or if painted a contrasting dark color. -Or do they look ok in person and it's just the camera adding 15 lbs.. _________________ "..it's made in Germany.

Yeah, I really dont think it is all that bad, the worst parts are the hatch and the headlights/header panel. Otherwise, I like it

Ya know honestly I can't tell how that car really looks because the pics are shot in the confines of a garage and that just does not work.
Things I know are wrong?
The hood is very wrong as well as the headlights that just don't flow with any other body line.
The 4 lug suspension, tiny wheels that don't fill the fenders out, and the nasty looking stock engine with a bunch of overspray everywhere are all wrong.
What I know is at least a lot of effort and looks pretty decent from what you can see in the pics?
The modern door handle upgrade looks ok. The 944 body work and paint job look ok. The work on the front header panel is ok. The front bumper conversion is ok, but I don't care for the all molded in look that much. The rockers are ok, but again that is part of the car that is not shot very well.
The hatch is not great but I have to say that it does look better with a spoiler and in black and if that car were to have a spoiler mounted on it I think it would improve the look.
All in all I think that car has potential. Not much you can do about the headlights unless you wan't to invest a lot of time making something different. Most of the work I'd say needs to be done to the suspension and brakes to fill it out right, and then you need serious work done to the engine to make it as fats as it looks.

Just lose the hatch and tint the windows and some different rims and it'd look pretty good in my opinion.. _________________ [This Space For Rent] |

Nissan? My first thought was "Lotus Europa" with that rear deck. |
