Designed by Lepiu, would have been so much better with Mk1 escort bubble style arches, square edged extensions just don't work on that for me

Atmo V8 Power . No slicks , No gas + No bits missing . Doing it in style.
Austin A35van, very different------- but still doing it in style, going to be a funmoble

Will it've been made with the same floppy-metal he used to fill massive structural holes with on that TV show?!

I had to google it cause stupid work browser blocks the pictures....
Is it finished? cause all i could see was a blue and a red rendering. Looks amazingly good to me.
It has a DTM feel to it, and I'm not sure bubble arches would inpove, althou i would like to see a P-chop of them.
Lepiu is a hack btw...that TV show was an embarassment for the UK scene imo.

I'm guessing the Lepiu [sic] comment is sarcasm, I certainly can't see his name anywhere in the build thread, and there isn't sculpted filler and 8" wheel spacers in sight. So can we knock it off with his name.
I actually think it looks pretty good. There's certainly an element of 'function over form' on the bodywork, but the end result is actually pretty sympathetic to the original jellymould lines.
I'll wait until it's fully painted/wrapped and liveried before deciding to pass any final judgement.
