(was outraged part 2) Just when we'd got the thread back to cars  ;D    Anyway Stance - Check Cleaned - Check Deep Dish - Check Straight Six - Check Needs webbers and a bit of body work to tidy up where the bumpers were mounted otherwise - perfect Discuss ;D |

I agree with Pog. Add the bumpers.  If I was being picky I'd say smaller wheels too for more lowness capability ;D Where'd you find it BC? Is it a UK car? I suspect not.  |

Needs a wiper or possibly two, or to loose them completely. Wheels could be an inch or so smaller and an inch wider for my liking too, but at the end of the day its a bloody cool car and I'd have it as it is.

Deffo needs bumpers back on, as it will then look much lower & wider ;D However, if the body behind is really smoothed out & the bumper is pushed forward (so visually floating), that would allow the forward leaning emphasis of the valance & front panel (when seen without a bumper) to be preserved  |

Yes! Those old opel rekord wagons are one of my favourite 70's styling efforts. Perfect proportions. Check out the super-slim pillars all round! Must have great visibility.

Deffo needs to keep the bumpers off but smoooove out the holes.
Saying that i'd be happy as a pig in curse word to drive it as is.
Top motor!

Bumpers back on and lose those wheels. I just don't like big modern bling rims on retros,I've said it before,the "look" to me is pure hotwheels  Colour,stance and engine choice are all spot on. |

Hmm Looks pretty sweet as is. In my opinion It needs the bumpers and smaller wheels, or it needs to be lower on the current wheels.

Are some of those cars from a few years back on that website?
Reason I ask is some seem to have had their inspiration from the film 'MANTA MANTA'.

Gorgeous wagon, not to my taste, but gorgeous all the same. Looks unfinished to me, no interior etc and I'll say if they've left the mount holes, the bumpers will probably be going back on it.
So calm down, calm down... ;D
