I have mixed feelings on the grille treatment, and would like to see a small altitude adjustment, and I'd lose the wing badges and maybe change the mirrors but otherwise I have to say that rocks my retro boat. Details only really, the concept overall is great.
Nice clean look, (I can see where he was going with the grille), great colour, good choice of wheels, plenty of scope for a little more just to make it really zing.
Whats the motor in there?

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Sorry, but it's a big fat No from me. I can see where he's coming from, just not my cuppa

I give it four and a half stars out of five, love it, really different. Reminds me of a Studebaker Avanti from the front.

I remember that car being on ebay ;D
Shame about the front and rear ends, I can't help thinking it'd just look 100x better with the bumpers and grille back on... then I'd give it 5 stars...

I can't decide if I like it or not, it's kind of like a man/woman without a face?

its not bad, its just looks unfinished.
it needs all the badging, handles, and chrome window surrounds on the sides smoothing off, as well as the airvent thingy behind the 1/4 window and the 1/4 lights , the sills smoothed out and the jacking points removed, the mirrors changing and then dropping on its ass, maybe with wider wheels but the same size rubber, then it would really work.
colour suits it though.

I like, but there's definately no negative rake going on, the arch gaps are even front to back, and the rear arch line is lower, so its got 'normal' rake. I think its just the photo angle thats deceptive.
