Looking at the rear 3/4 view i was like "Ohh nice".Knowing the car was a pignose i was excited to see how sexy the thing would look from the front 3/4.



With fire.Kill it you must

But respect on the work though, cant hate on the amount of effort you put into it.

iChuckled.

You have to admit the rear 3/4 view of this car is pretty good.Paint, A color coded centre garnish some decent wheels and i think we would have a winner.

But the front.Just burn it with fire....shoulda kept the pig and custom molded a Bomex Silvia lip on it.

looks good but to tell the truth you need to order a front bumper because now the rear and sides sits lower than the front. and wheels and paint.

+1 for the KA-T

Not my thing, bu to each their own. The rear spoiler is nice though...it gives it an old z car look. Follow that theme and do the z car front.

Get a Silvia front end and you might be able to save and please burn those headlights pleeeeeaaasse so no other 240 will be able to put them on. But props on the effort and the custom body work i don't like it but its not my car also nice KA-T.

Hmmm, Headlights, hood and ebay tails... Ditch em'. Not a huge fan of molding body parts, s chassis's along with a lot of older cars need those broken lines to "make the car". Unless you're doing it for show.

I'm not trying to flame, just completely different taste i guess

It's truly not my style in cars at all. But I do appreciate the hard work you put into it. It looks like you've got a lot of determination and guts to really make this car your own. Kudos. Update when you get paint and find you some good wheels! And keep doin' what you want.

Well. I didn't realize you all, for the most part, are factory "purest"....and that's fine. Go for it. Sorry I offended.

If "my" car were a old Mustang, Chevelle, Challenger, whatever, I'd STILL want to "make it mine" with some mods. It's just what I do...what I enjoy doing. I just like to do body work and customize.

I'll tuck my tail and run, lol.You all be cool and enjoy....I know I will.

I second this. The front end is just eww. The interior is alright except for the gauges, those are just kinda ricey.

As i said, just fix the front end and your car will def become a head turner for the right reason.Those headlights are notorious for being ugly. And as of right now ive never seen them fail to live up to their reputation.

The custom work is definetely good, and i really like the rear(minus the centre)So i say keep at it, comeback when the car is finished.

i honestly like everything except for the lights and hood. You have a lot of work into that thing and i admire that. get some nice wheels, do something with the hood and paint her and i think you win. i have an idea... do you think you could make light housings like these? and get some lights that fit in there? that would look nice in my opinion
