That's pretty close for me. I think it just needs smaller wheels and some arch gap so it can take a pasting round a track and it would be spot on.

I really like that, the rusty bonnet's a bit scene but for once actually doesn't look too bad. The wheels and colour work well

have to admit I'm not that keen on rusty bonnets but that does work quite well with the colour scheme, definitely not what I was expecting.

It needs another door mirror, the bonnet doesn't really work and the cooler looks daft (as always), it looks hand painted and as rough as badgers and is way too low to even think about driving... I love it  |

Oil cooler hoses make me shiver. I hope there's no actual oil going to them.

I like it apart from aforementioned cooler hose issues. Whack on hoses that actually fit and I'd be chuffed to bits.

Whenever I see a (scene) rusty bonnet I assume that the owner has the original tucked away safely somewhere, I have similar thoughts about the external oil cooler too - it shows that the owner enjoys the fashion side of our hobby, it's changeable and ignorable if you don't like that particular slant on things. Overall, I love it...I like the way it sits, the choice/size of wheel, the scene crossover bits and the colour.

This thread is awesome. In a good way.
Here we have a car where the main point of contention is the kinks in the oil cooler hose. Not the rusty bonnet, the streaky paint job, the rusty holes in the arches/door, the camber or even the oil cooler itself, but the kinks in the hose.
So this car goes to show that it's been done in a style that people like, including elements of 'rat' and 'boso' and 'drift'.....because all we can pick up on is some kinky pipework.
If I was the owner, I'd be pretty chuffed with that if I knew what a pedantic and critical bunch we can sometimes be.
Great car and a great example that it doesn't have to be a show queen to get it 'right'. For that, I have a whole lotta love for it.

I love it, when this style is done well it still has the potential for serious impact.

purposeful - though my first thought was why has he used some inner tubes to connect up the oil cooler ;D
