    Redonculous to the max - widebody D

    I would never have thought this would be a good idea, but oddly it works and I actually like it.
    A bit much, but why half @ss it.

    Looks more like the Bosozoku style than a widebody. I have no idea how the front tires turn without ripping off the flares, but any publicity is good I guess.

    It lifts up for driving.

    Ezra had this on his instagram. I think it looks hideous because the mods are so poorly and obviously done. Just looks like aluminum pieces bolted to the car.

    I don't usually subscribe to the "all parts must be replaced with stainless," idea; however the fact that all these body add-on's are aluminum and not stainless really irks me (at least the front and rear). It seems to cheapen the effort to me. You question whether it's aluminum just looking at it, but what sold it for me was the welding around the holes in the front bumper. Pretty clearly aluminum welds. Plus, forming stainless like this takes a lot more skill and effort than aluminum does.

    I think Michael is spot-on as it's a Japanese owner and car.

    I don't think there are any mechanical modifications beyond enormous wheel spacers which conveniently change from 4 lug to 5 lug.

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    Ah Ok, I probably look like a jackass to the community now. Apparently this is a different car than one that I had in mind. Here is the link to another project doing a Front Engine, RWD conversion with a tubular roll cage throughout the car.

    My apologies folks

    that was the one i was referring to.
    I wouldn't say you look like a jackass though.
    Im interested to see how that car turns out. Seems to have some serious skill and motivation behind it.
